“Whether you’re right or wrong about the material, I don’t know, but your interpretation has not been my experience so far.”

Your experience is not the yardstick of truth.

“What I’ve read has been helpful for my understanding and for clearing up some of my old confusion, while adding some new, basically leaving me much better off than it found me.”

That encapsulates the siren song of false teaching.

“Your experience is not the yardstick of truth.”For you, no. My experience for you is simply that, my experience, take it or leave it, test it for yourself, or don’t, all the same to me. Just a witness telling a story. Belief is optional.

But, for me, it is also my personal “by their fruits” test of the material and, for me, the resulting data doesn’t agree with your hypothesis about the material... so far.

Whether it’s a siren song of false teachings or something else, I don’t know yet.

It’s funny, when I first found it, I was beyond excited by what I found. I believed it, and not only that, I was sure everyone else, all Protestants, would have the same reaction to the material that I was having.

Honestly, I was more than a little surprised, shocked even, to discover that was definitely not the case. Not even close. Lol!
