Misconceptions of Christian theology

[Esquilax]

You are right on the money with your last statement Laddie!

I, and many others read between lines of the Bible words! Not that we need to....but there is so much more! The Holy Spirit does indeed help us to understand the deeper meaning, and transcend some of the things that don't effect our lives, or situations! Or wake to a new revelation of the words that we didn't understand yesterday!

Here's the thing I've never understood about this position: aren't you concerned that when you're reading between the lines you're at risk of misinterpreting or misreading the intent of the bible?

Or that, say, instead of the holy spirit guiding you to your interpretation, it's actually the devil guiding you to an incorrect one? He's the prince of lies, after all, and if I was trying to corrupt people the best way I could see to do it would be to impersonate a holy source.

What assurances do you have that the interpretations you develop are correct, aside from personal conviction, which can be tricked even within the context of the bible itself?
