Hold On Loosely And Tightly To Your Current Understanding Of The Word Of God

Ok so if we grab a hold of this concept it could keep us from becoming hyper-religious like the Pharisees, Scribes, Sadducees, teachers, lawyers, and some Samaritan's in the days of Jesus. Oh, and if you think anything has changed in humanity in these days you would be mistaken.

Where do you think the Catholic Church, denominations, and non-denominational churches came from? They came from our eventual disagreements on our locked in view of the bible and what we think it states for all time as if it were a static book. Those well-entrenched logs in our eyes.

Now but this way of thinking isn't just or totally about our interpretation of the scriptures which when interpreting scripture this process is pregnant with the opportunities to create confusion, but that it actually comes from the fact that we are completely and totally blind to the scriptures all together. Lets build our case:

Micah 5:2 - “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
Though you are little among the thousands of Judah,
Yet out of you shall come forth to Me
The One to be Ruler in Israel,
Whose goings forth are from of old,
From everlasting.”

Location, location, location. They should have known where this spiritual King was going to come from right. Nope they missed this little detail.

More:
Is 7:14 - Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.
Behold the Son of God will be born from a virgin woman. Who in all of earth could say such a specific thing and have it come to pass so precisely? They missed this detail as well:

More X3:
Is 53 - Who has believed our report?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant,
And as a root out of dry ground.
He has no form or comeliness;
And when we see Him,
There is no beauty that we should desire Him.
3 He is despised and rejected by men,
A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
4 Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He opened not His mouth;
He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
So He opened not His mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment,
And who will declare His generation?
For He was cut off from the land of the living;
For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.
9 And they made His grave with the wicked—
But with the rich at His death,
Because He had done no violence,
Nor was any deceit in His mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him;
He has put Him to grief.
When You make His soul an offering for sin,
He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days,
And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.
11 He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied.
By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many,
For He shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great,
And He shall divide the spoil with the strong,
Because He poured out His soul unto death,
And He was numbered with the transgressors,
And He bore the sin of many,
And made intercession for the transgressors.
