Did you know that there are theologians, within the church, and scholars, outside of the church, that state, that the Bible can only be interpreted properly, with advanced institutional training, that we need to listen to what they say? Well, what does the Bible actually say about this? The Bible actually says that the True Believer has the gift of God's spirit dwelling with in them, which leads them into All Truth. John 16:13. Notice that the verse says, "all truth", not some truth.
Rev 2:6 and 2:15, also, says that God hates the ways and doctrine of the "Nicolaitans". Nicolaitans are those who raise themselves above the laity, the people of the church. The Nicolaitan System places clergy between the Believer and God. If you have been hurt or driven away, by these types of people, or a church, who practices this, remember that the Bible says that these types of people have no place in the Kingdom of God. However, you do.
God is constantly calling his people, the Remnant, back to him. If you don't have a relationship with the Creator of the Universe, remember, there is no better time, than right now.
...and that's what you'll find, When You Search For The Truth.
