Acts 8:30-31 ESV
[30] So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” [31] And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
Colossians 1:26-27 ESV
[26] the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints. [27] To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
2 Timothy 2:15 ESV
[15] Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
【Scripture Interpretation】
Explanation: Only those believers who have been born again by God, made saints, strengthened, humbled, and devoted to God, and who are guided by God to preach the word, not for personal gain, can rightly interpret the Scriptures.
【Scripture】
2 Peter 3:16 ESV
[16] as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures. 2 Peter 2:3 ESV
[3] And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
2 Timothy 4:3-4 ESV
[3] For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, [4] and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.
1 Timothy 6:3-5 ESV
[3] If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, [4] he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, [5] and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain.

Explanation: What kind of person misinterprets the Bible?
1. Those who have not been born again and become saints.
2. Those who are not steadfast, arrogant, and proud; they do not even understand what humility is, how to be steadfast, or how to remain humble.
3. False piety, those who use piety as a means of gain. Later we will discuss what kind of people make a living by preaching and receive a fixed salary.If you find these qualities in your pastor, flee from him immediately, or you will surely fall into a pit.
[Scripture]
Matthew 15:14 ESV
[14] Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
