Confusion is not from the Bible but mankind

Be Not Deceived

Why do some Christians not understand the truths of the Bible? Why are there so many different beliefs about the Bible?

The answers are in the next verse:

John 16: (Jesus speaking)

12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

Verse 12 can be likened to children in school is as much as teachers do not attempt to teach trigonometry to first graders, they have to be taught as they can understand, absorb and comprehend the information given them. Even then children are different as to when they are ready for deeper study.

Verse 13 can also be equated with children in a classroom. They all hear the same teacher (Holy Spirit) but because of free will and each individual’s ability to comprehend they do not all give the same answers on the same test. Only those that open their minds and hearts to the truth and hear and understand and hold the truth tightly receive the %100 mark.

If you will forget everything except listening to the Holy Spirit with an open mind then the Holy Spirit can guide you to the truth, otherwise you will hold to false traditions and teachings. We all have free will and the Holy Spirit will never force you to hear and learn.

This is where all the false teachers, preachers and churches come from.

Pride, false traditions, ignorance, stubbornness and NOT listening to the Holy Spirit causes these confusions. Lies and false teachings are rampant in today’s world so beware. It is your choice to listen to the Holy Spirit or mankind.
