Ignorance of Scripture

Ignorance of Scripture is rampant among many preachers and Christians, including many evangelicals. It is very evident at present in relationship to governmental officials and voting.

Ignorance of Scripture is causing many Christians to wrongly divide the word of God rather than rightly divide it. This results in Christians making wrong choices, wrong decisions and supporting people who are enemies of Jesus Christ, His kingdom, His righteousness and His people.

This is nothing new! Regretfully it has been repeated over and over throughout history. For example, many preachers and Christians in Germany were complicit in the actions of Hitler because of their ignorance of Scripture. At present we have preachers and Christians that would have done the same if they had lived in the days of Hitler. I can just hear some of them saying “Hitler is a class act”. Yes, he was a class act controlled from Satan’s headquarters.

All Scripture has to be rightly divided!  A major part of rightly dividing Scripture is to always put it in the right context. Can you rightly divide and properly apply the Scriptures below? There are many preachers and Christians who can’t.

Romans 13: 1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.

Romans 13: 2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God. And those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.

James 4: 7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

Titus 3: 1 Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work.

Acts 5: 29 But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: We ought to obey God rather than men.

Note: If you are a true student of the Holy Spirit, let Him guide you into all truth. He is the Teacher! Too many preachers are regurgitating the junk that they learned from some theological professor or religious organization, rather than humbly submitting to the Holy Spirit and teaching only truth. Too many Christians are regurgitating the junk that they have learned from these preachers. Humility and repentance! Preachers, regardless of your age you can still paint a picture of truth that will equip the saints for the work of the ministry. Let’s bring forth salt and light that overcomes decay and darkness!
