What you are not getting is the “Be still and know that I am God”...in the bible. The stillness of mind..the watching of silent prayer...is where we see truth in a simple way as we did as children. Those people that wrote the bible had that stillness and we must be so enlightened as to even be able to add to the bible if we were called to. You are looking outward rather than inward to your holy spirit. This is what I mean by learned truth. It just is not solid as a rock which we need in this evil world.
Why do you presume I am "not getting" it? I know that the Bible says,
"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." (Psalm 46:10)
What I think you are not getting is that this is not the entire way that we are to live our lives nor the only way we can know God. We also are told,
"I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways." (Psalm 119:15)
And
But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. (Psalm 1:2)
And
My eyes stay open through the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promises. (Psalm 119:148)
So meditation is ON something and someone, the Lord God and His precepts. Those "people" that wrote the Bible were divinely-inspired Holy men of God, we are told For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. (II Peter 1:21) But, no, we cannot add to God's word and we won't be "called to". It is closed and has been for almost two thousand years. I am looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of my faith and HE is my rock and my shield. Do not forsake the word of God because the Gospel is the "power of God unto salvation".
