Gospel Movie clip "The City Will be Overthrown" (4) - Is Interpreting the Bible the Same as Exalting and Bearing Witness for God?
Most
people throughout the entire religious world believe that those who
are most able to explain the Bible are people who know God, and that
if they can also interpret the Bible's mysteries and explain
prophecies, then they are people who conform to God's will, and they
exalt and bear witness to God. Many people, therefore, have a blind
faith in this kind of person and they worship them. So do pastors and
elders' explanations of the Bible really exalt and bear witness to
God? Almighty God says, "Those who read the Bible in grand
churches recite the Bible every day, yet not one understands the
purpose of God’s work. Not one is able to know God; moreover, not
one is in accord with the heart of God. They are all worthless, vile
men, each standing on high to teach God. Though they brandish the
name of God, they willfully oppose Him" (The Word Appears in the
Flesh).
