I think we are on to something... When we interpret scripture, we are working alongside the Holy Spirit (with His power). Like sanctification, some (according to God's hidden purposes) grow in grace much faster than others... some things have been "revealed" and some things have not. God is pleased to reveal truth at his leisure... If He chooses not to, then we are left to interpret according to our (still)fallen minds.

The dangerous aspect is to "Lord it Over" weaker Christians who have not had the finer points of scripture revealed to them... That is the reason I really started this thread. I think we have to be extremely humble in our orthodoxy.

Agree?
