Here is the best answers i have found so far Scripturally speaking. I am diligently seeking for ever
clearer understanding.

Mat_26:56
But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

Joh_5:39
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

George.

aqrinc:

Here is another reason for verifying any Revelation with Scripture.

Rom_15:4
For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we
through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

George.

I love that verse.

Thank you George

Remember, Jeff the pharisees objected to Jesus' teachings because of their legalism. They kept the letter of the law. They were not willing to accept Jesus as the Messiah because that would have released people from the letter of the law. It was a completely new way of thinking. Freedom from the law?

 Do you remember when the Soviet Union dissolved (or whatever you call it)? many Russian people came to the US, but many of them went back because they didn't know how to deal with freedom! I have always thought of it in that way, people would rather remain in darkness than to accept the freedom of the light. If you look at the way the pharisees reacted to Jesus I guess it's a reflection of our human condition. We question whatever takes us out of our comfort zone.

 Sometimes it takes us a long time to accept new light or whatever you want to call it because we are comfortable living the way we always have. It's a hard call to step out in faith and follow where you think God is leading you. If God is in control of your life he will lead you into all truth--a little at a time!

I speak these things from experience, God has led me in many different directions and each path ended in the place I was supposed to be at the time! I have learned so many things and mostly I have learned that not everything is truth! Some truth mixed with error, but as the error is burned away the truth shines forth brightly! You take that truth and you move on to the next place where God sends you always learning always willing to take the path set out by God! This may not answer your question at all but it is just the way I have learned to deal with things that are new ideas to me. Searching Scripture and long hours of prayer. That's it!
