“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!

“Naive, with little to no guile, is no way to go through life, son”, but here I am.

Well, I don’t know what your experience is.

My experience when reading Scripture is also excitement, and having to swallow a lot of pride sometimes.

I think one issue that a lot of people have is that they want to read their own biases into Scripture, and really REALLY don’t want to admit that they might be wrong.
