God bless you on your quest to study the Bible. You have already been shown the difference it makes to seek the Holy Spirit while reading Scripture. The Spirit is your teacher. You must be careful what a man teaches you. The Spirit will give you the correct discernment to understand the Truth. Many will tell you that you can't understand Spiritual things, but that is why we have the Holy Spirit in the first place. Keep it up and you will be astounded at what God will show you in His Word that the world has gotten wrong.

Just last night, Hanity was discussing unemployment insurance renewal and a woman started to quote the Bible completely out of context. She was basically saying Jesus was a communist and used the rich young ruler story to build her case. Hanity didn't challenger her that Jesus is talking to His church, not government and he could have asked her if she has sold everything to follow Jesus and if so, why are you for gay marriage and abortion knowing what Jesus says about that. I believe Hanity even went to Seminary, but dropped the ball. When you hear a Democrat quote Scripture, you have to listen with a grain of salt because they are so wrong on so many important Godly principles, they would have to repent on so many things to understand the real Truth. A good rule of thumb today is just ask if they are pro abortion or pro gay marriage. If they miss either one of those principles, how can you believe they have anything Godly to share with a Christian?

Ephesians 6:12

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
