Unfortunately we do have far too many religeous people stating what the scriptures say who are not Christ’s... therefore without the Holy Spirit it’s just a human opinion.
Personally I know the difference between studying the scripture as a Christian and that not. The first thing I noted after salvation was how clear the scriptures were to understand.....it was and remains exciting when you know the Holy Spirit is revealing God’s Word. Therefore you don’t have to try and make anything “fit” as you say.
As it’s written....” Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.’..2 Timothy 2:15
Yep, that is what it says, God says I will put my laws in their hearts,
we may have to go to the scripture to understand them but if they are not
there to begin with it is no use.
