Yes, wonderful verses about the Spirit's guidance!
If you were getting guidance from the Spirit you would not be seeking such distractions that keep you from being objective
concerning the Word of God.
Paul warned about the dangers of emotion-driven believers.
He called them
"enemies of the Cross."
When he said .. "their god is their belly?'
"Belly" was used to describe what today we call emotions.
For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears,
many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction,
their god is their belly, and their glory is in their shame.
Their mind is set on earthly things." Philippians 3:18-19
Christians that are ruled by their emotions lose objectivity when the Word of God confronts them in their error.
In emotional reaction they begin to grab verses out of context, and demand that what they want it to mean, is what it means.
I have been down this bumpy road many times. We all make mistakes. But those who make their emotions their god
treat certain passages like woke trannies who demand that we recognize them for what they want to be seen as. Not for
what is there before our eyes. Its all a parallel to how the emotion driven soul operates, and loses all objectivity.
Yes.... you can be deceived. We all can be at some point in our lives.
One of the greatest grace -breakthroughs we can have, is to have the Lord correct us by knocking us off
our self confidence perch. That self confidence must be taken to the Cross if His spiritual self esteem is to take root.
If that happens? When we are shocked to see how wrong we were when we thought we were obviously right?
We then begin to learn the meaning of the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
“As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts."
