If I understand you correctly, and please correct me if I’m wrong, you are saying The Bible (aka The Word of God) is equal to a textbook and requires a mortal human to make it understandable.

the bible is of course the word of God...written by inspired humans. It, like a trignometry book, is better understood if you have both the book and a person learned in the subject.....I take nothing away from the truth of the bible and choose to follow the teachers who WROtE IT.

Problem is, the men who penned it are dead so cannot be consulted.

However, the born again believer has the true Author of Scripture living within them and HE can tell us what was meant and how to apply it to our lives.

You seem to say you choose to follow the wisdom of man. If this is true you will reap the benefits provided by men.

I follow the Lord and I pray to Him for His wisdom and discernment.

May you hear His voice, follow His call and receive His blessings.
