There are so many things the organized church system taught that were wrong according to Scripture. Study to show yourself approved does not mean look up seminary educated men and just believe them.
The Holy Spirit can remove all the lies we were trained in and show us the truth, all we have to do is ask Him to show us all the things we were taught that were wrong and replace them with the truth.
John 8:32 "And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
1 Thessalonians 5:21 "But test everything; hold fast what is good."
2 Timothy 2:15 "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."
Notice that God never tells us to go to educated men who have titles to ask for truth. He told us to depend on the Holy Spirit, willing to discard anything that men taught us that was not His truth.
John 16:13-14 "13 However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come. 14 He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you."
John 15:26 "When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father—He will testify about Me."
John 14:17 "the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you do know Him, for He abides with you and will be in you."
John 14:26 "But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you."
The Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ is our Advocate; we can depend on Him to tell us everything He wants us to know.
1 Corinthians 2:10-13 "But God has revealed it to us by the Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. / For who among men knows the thoughts of man except his own spirit within him? So too, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. / We have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us."
Hallelujah for the Holy Spirit Who tells us everything we want to know if only we will ask Him.
