Well YEAH, since RCC rejects the council of God
Inanutshell…
Jews were chosen to hear, learn, and teach the Word of God…according to Christ Jesus’ Gospel.
And for awhile, Jews traveled to Jewish settlements, preaching in synagogues to:
Jewish men, Jewish women, Gentile men, Gentile women.
Jewish teachers began appointing Jews and Gentiles in positions to hear, learn, and teach the Word of God….according to Christ Jesus’ Gospel.
Jews in synagogues began reverting to teaching Jews in their synagogues Mosaic Law, while phasing out the teaching according to Christ Jesus’ Gospel.
Gentiles, Men, Women, began teaching the Gospel of Christ Jesus, in homes, in gatherings, in buildings used as a meeting house, in buildings erected and called a church.
Some of the church buildings were very elaborate, ornate, and established counsels of a few men, who began making long lists of what their congregates should and should not believe. Some elaborated to include their Reasoning of Why the congregates should believe what they dictate and even concocted books for approved beliefs and their opinionated texts of WHAT the scripture means, WHY they should believe only what they say.
Sort of a clever scheme, making the BIBLE text of Knowledge second fiddle AND making the Express Language in Gods Approved Scripture, that ONLY the Lord God Himself gives individuals the UNDERSTANDING of His Knowledge, for naught.
A conundrum…
Men are curious creatures. Some men beg for the Understanding of Gods Word to be Proved to them, BEFORE they will even consider Believing the Scriptural text of Knowledge.
Completely Backwards…
Read/Hear Gods word of Knowledge…
Believe it or not.
Believe it? When it is the perfect time for you to UNDERSTAND the Knowledge. The Lord God Himself will Give you His UNDERSTANDING!
Job 32:
[8] But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
