Most everyone has a knowledge of God, yet, our knowledge may be based on what we have been told by men, rather than what we know from the Spirit of God, which dwells within us.

“Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them who cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them” (Rom. 16:17).

We’ve laid down Truth and picked up experience. So that we are now interpreting the Truth of God with the consistency of our experience, rather than interpreting our experience to make it consistent with the Truth of God.

How does God interpret His word? There are at least three ways. Through prophecies, history, and synthesis. And all three require revelation by the Holy Spirit.
