We need to be wary of any teaching that needs to explain away certain passages of Scripture as not important, not for today, or just poetic. The Holy Spirit will give discernment if we yield to Him and desire the truth. God will give us discernment regardless of our personal feelings. When we’re in His will, He gives a sense of His presence, His love, peace, joy, and all the fruit of the Spirit. Even then, He warns us He has more to show us and tells us not to have closure before the time. If we know anything, we don’t know it as we ought to know it. Consider your most cherished doctrine. You don’t understand it as you ought to know it.
