Question
Some Christians believe that without the illumination of the Holy Spirit, one cannot understand the bible. Is it a false doctrine?
Hi Tan,
Thank you for this great question. One must be born again, having the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in order to understand fully the scriptures.
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
I hope that this helps you.
In Christ
Pastor Don

Expertise
I believe that every word of the Bible is God- Breathed. This blessed book is the foundation of truth for faith and practice. If you ask this volunteer a question you will receive an answer from the Bible that is based upon a literal, normal interpretation, taking into account the grammar and culture of the time.
Experience
I have been in the ministry 20+ years. During that time I served as a youth pastor, christian counselor, assistant pastor, church planter, and a senior pastor.
