***What are we Bible-believing Christians missing by holding the word of God preeminent in our lives?***

Acts 8: 26-40

Without the Church, people are as the eunuch. They can read the words, but not understand them.

I’m beginning to think some barf warnings are in order for such posts.

Thankfully, such has NOT been God’s perspective, else He’d not have confirmed with such dramatic signs following over the centuries and abundantl in our era.

I don't have your church, and I understand the words of Scripture just fine. In fact, a lot better than many RCs apparently.

That is because it is not the "church" that gives understanding, but God through the Holy Spirit.

"Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments...

The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple." -- Psalm 119:73,130

No eunuchs involved, except for the occasional "another Christ."
