PRECEPT UPON PRECEPT LINE UPON LINE HERE A LITTLE THERE A LITTLE


Isaiah 28:9,10KJV (Note; The way the LEB translates this verse is horrible, drastically hiding the meaning. ) This scripture is informing us of how GOD reveals HIS truth in the scriptures. There are more scriptures that add to this understanding; John 6:45 informs us that GOD uses Jesus as the mediator to reveal HIS truth. Peter tells us that GOD inspired men to write the scriptures in both covenants. 2 Peter 1:21 2 Peter 3:15 Peter calls Paul’s writings scripture. Jesus said that Christians must search the scriptures for answers, Matthew 7:7 Jesus spoke in parables to hide the truth from all but the church. Matthew 13:11,12,13 Jesus continues by showing in the prophet Isaiah how his comments were prophesied beforehand. Matthew 13:14,15

Are you beginning to see how the truth is scattered ; precept upon precept line upon line, from Genesis to Revelation and that asking, seeking and knocking along with diligently searching the scripture with GODS guidance through Christ will teach the truth.
Another example is this. If you desire to know the truth about life and death first you pray through Christ to the FATHER admitting your ignorance and acknowledging GODS power ask for GOD to teach you about this , 1 John 2:27 , and no human ministry is required or needed. The Apostles and Jesus many times quoted old covenant scriptures in connection with the new covenant thus showing the wisdom and proper understanding as well as their fulfillment.

All the truth you receive from this process is what you use to build on your spiritual foundation of the prophets, Jesus and the Apostles. I compare this to a spiritual chain composed of unbreakable links; lies and deception are a very weak link and will break showing the need to replace these links. We must never assume a truth or invent one to support a personal theory. Conjecture and speculation is not truth. However this practice has crept into all the false churches. Failure to seek GODS guidance and diligently search will lead to weak links, and false doctrines .

I have only given a few examples of how to properly divide the word of truth but all truth is arrived at by this process. Once you have built on the foundation with these accumulated truths it will expand your knowledge and ability to add more truth with accuracy and more rapidly. You will grow.

Now the world is not given the mysteries of the kingdom of GOD. Therefore, Isaiah 28:11,12,13 applies because the world is without GOD, Christ and GODS spirit, they are cut off from GOD in the world with no hope. Ephesians 2:11,12,13
Our part in this is to in faith believe what is revealed to us after we have tried the spirits to confirm they are from GOD. We also devote ourselves to studying, meditation and prayer. The truth is not conveniently written in outline form, it is scattered from Genesis to Revelation and we must diligently ask, seek and knock and the door will be opened.
It is here a little and there a little and we take these littles and combine them to have a whole.


For this we give GOD all the glory along with HIS son . The works of the law produced no fruit but this working in the spirit bears fruit unto GOD . In spiritual reality we are GODS work and are inspired by HIM to do all the things described in this article to find the truth. Worldly, unconverted carnal people do not have these blessings and this is why all their churches are deceived . The elect of GOD have all these blessings and then it becomes impossible to deceive them.

Brother, I do appreciate the time and effort you put into formatting your findings and posting them here. Thank you - even though they make me dig through scripture for myself.

I tried to call you a few minutes ago but got no answer. Is it OK to try again ?
 
The scriptures are like a spiritual gold mine and the nuggets of truth are scattered through its pages as this article describes. The truth is not conveniently listed in one place with all the proper understanding. This is why it is necessary to rightly divide the word of truth. It is here a little there a little, precept upon precept line upon line. This is actually done to hide the truth from people that GOD does not want to know it in this current evil age. There is a veil spread over all the nations of the earth that keeps people in darkness and the only way this veil can be lifted is for GOD to call and choose a person, to draw them to HIS son. This process is called conversion. Once converted you become a spiritual gold miner asking, seeking and knocking , searching for the golden nuggets being guided by GODS spirit through Christ in order to find them. Satan may try to deceive by planting iron pyrite in with the gold and the people that mine this are fools. The owner of this gold mine is GOD and HIS son is the heir and we miners future heirs with the son.
We heirs must always be on the alert for the iron pyrite and never include it on our foundation. We test the metal, the spirits, to tell the difference. At some future day the owners son will come to gather the miners and he will test our foundations for pure gold or for pyrite. The people that have pure foundations of gold are made full partners with the son while others with pyrite in their foundations must buy gold tried in the fire and the price for that gold is their life. May all of you who mine find that pure gold .

Nice metaphor. This is a difficult message for those who have been told that they are miners of truth, yet they own neither pick nor shovel. They think they don't need them because they have human authors who tell them their truth. It may not seem "fair" to man, because they think they should be able to trust what they are being told by people whom they actually pay for it. Those who provide their version of truth believe they know because another person or school told them that they know. I've come to understand, just as was written in the Didache, do not entertain one who comes peddling the Gospel. This world is full of entertainers.
