You are the one who went to bible schooling to be taught by man. I don't go to men to find God. I rely on Him and His Spirit to guide me. In no way am I saying this makes me better than you. Just that your statement is more applicable to you. Being as though you are the one who went to a school that was taught by man and stay true to what they taught you.
THis is not the way. God Spirit teaches all truth. I have no doctrine from a man to lean on, neither do I lean on my own understanding. Friend, God has blessed me with what little I have. I do not go to churches, I fellowship with those close to me. I don't belong to any denomination or any building or organization to defend their teachings so that I can feel secure and think I know the truth. I only go to God. Not to say that I have never learned anything from another man or from a book or another source. But I hold none of it as true, until God confirms it in for me. So friend, to say I am leaning on some man's interpretation, who is that man or denomination? there is none. I only lean to God friend.
Have you not read my posts, "A House Divided," "Man Of Lawlessness 1 and 2," The debate with me and HomesweetRome in the Islamic threads? What man is teaching me these things? Which denomination do you go to that does not give a wafer and wine calling it communion? Which one does not do this? Where did I get that doctrine? what man gave it to me? What denomination has given me that sweet truth posted in "A House Divided? which denomination is teaching these things? What teacher is teaching these things that you say I hold on to? God is my only teacher friend. He is my source of life and all things in my life are His. The reason that I have learned these things is because I asked God about what didn't seem right, being willing to change. And as I humbled myself before Him and admitted, I don't know the truth, please show me. Then I started to learn and not long after that, He pulled me out of this Mystery Babylon religion, that people call Christianity. And He showed me many of the practices that He was upset about.
He gave me truth. I would pray to understand one thing, but He would show me another. I was asking Him many questions, somethings were not meant for me to know at the time, but I believe all questions and wisdom is given in due time. I am thankful for what God has given me and will stand on it. Now if you think that you can prove your three gods to be true, then go ahead, my response was the post above, if you have not already responded by the time I post this. The point of saying all of this, is to show you that saying I am leaning on some man's wisdom is a terrible lie, which you can not prove. On the other hand, you take pride in the fact that you went to bible school were you recieved your doctrine from men. And since then, you have been interpreting scripture the way you were taught in school.
That is understandible, because people tend to take what schools teach as truth...
