Greetings Everyone!
According to Bro Eli, the Bible has its own interpretation and understanding the Bible is also God-given. Humans don't have the capacity to understand the Bible on their own because it's God that have the Bible as his word. Human knowledge is limited when it comes to understanding the Bible.
In Psalms 94 verse 11, the Bible says that God is away of the thought of man, the they are vanity.
Man's thoughts and thinking, including human mind, are all vanity in the sight of God. And God can destroy the wisdom of men and bring their understanding to nothing according to, 1 Corinthians 11:9
For us to understand God's word, we need the understanding that is given by God. Unless it is God that gives us the understanding, we can never understand the complete meaning of God's word in the Bible.
For God to give us understanding, we need to turn to his reproof and obey his commandments. When we do these, he will pour his spirit on us and his spirit will give us understanding of his word, according to Proverbs 1:23.
For us to understand the word of God in the Bible, we need the spirit from God to reveal the word to us.
1 Corinthians 2:11
For what man knoweth the things of a man save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man but the Spirit of God.
So, it is the spirit of God that reveals all the things of God to a man. So we need to rely on God for the understanding of his word.
1 Corinthians 2:10
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
Because, according to Paul, God has disclosed his word to us through his spirit, the profound things of God can be known by man via the action of God's spirit. We can thus understand God's messages through the action of the Holy Spirit.
Many people are led astray by their intelligence and misinterpret the Bible. Their intelligence will prevent them from comprehending God's word.
1 Corinthians 1:20-21
Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
Human wisdom, or worldly intelligence, makes it difficult to comprehend God's will. They cannot comprehend God's word as their comprehension is limited to that of man. The Bible is interpreted by the spirit, not by humans. Through the inspiration of the spirit, we are able to comprehend God's word, the meaning behind God's words, God's laws and teachings, and God's holy will.
