When God's thoughts were written in the Bible, they did not have the same meaning as how we interpret words. Didn't He tell us, “My thoughts are not your thoughts,” Isaiah 55:8?
Almost every word of significance, within the Bible, has its own definition given somewhere in the Bible. God hides things from the wise and prudent, and reveals them to babes, Luke 10:21.
God is His own commentator. He does not need anything, including interpreters.
Study to show yourself approved, compare scripture with scripture, rightly DIVIDING the word of truth. Otherwise, it is not truth. It can only be spiritually discerned. He told us all these things and more.
When you seek ME with your whole heart, you will find ME. When you seek MY definition of the words, you will find MY heart and intent. Your knowledge will pass away. My words are forever, and My truth will set you free.
When we are ready to do away with doctrines of men (gods of this world) and start over as a little child (letting God be our teacher), the Bible takes on new life; life more abundantly. His Spirit will guide us to the truths we need, in the moments of our day, and the Spirit can not lie; God promised, I John 2:27.
God is not dead. He will walk with you and talk with you, and be the best counselor you ever had. Trade your thoughts for God's, your ways for His. We can live victoriously, when we put our faith in Him.
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart,
and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Proverbs 3:5
