Can We Understand It Alike?
Why would God speak, if not to be understood? If God created us (James 3:9), then He knows the range of our mental capacities. 2. Salvation is inherently tied to understanding the gospel message (Mark 16:15-16; Romans 1:16; 10:17; Matthew 13:19,23). If one can’t understand, then they can’t believe and be saved. 3. We are commanded to acquire the correct understanding (Eph. 5:17; 2 Timothy 2:15). 4. Paul said that when we read we could understand it just like he understood it (Ephesians 3:3-5). 5. Jesus rebuked people for not understanding God’s will (Matthew 22:29). 6. God can create the world out of nothing (Psalm 33:6), but He can’t author a book that all can understand? 7. God commands us to be united, but then gave us a revelation which is impossible to reach agreement upon? (John 17:20-21)
