The late dr. R.C. Sproul had a daily radio show. I likedit even though he
was of the protestant flavor; because of his scholarly exposition of
fscripture..
He once said that "if one wants to find a source of heresy; go to an
informal scripture study group".

what remained within the confines of his own thinking.
However, God does not operate within the boundaries of a man's thinking.
Pro_3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine

Therein is the problem with Christendom!

There one can hear such statements as "I just found the real meaning of
this scripture after years of reading the bible". Almost surely you have
just found a heresy being expounded.
It is a new "theory of scripture". It plugs into the scripture bit his
own thought never seen these 2000 years.
This kind of practice has generated in recent times many new doctrines
and/or even entire new religious groups by someone who already has a
following as a "man of God". Having that "new theory of scripture" is
sure confirmation of being that "man of God".
Our resident amature lone ranger bible reader has an additional twist on
any such "theory of scripture" he has heard or derived himself. He claims
to have devine direct individual "confirmation" of the new "theory of
scripture". That is in itself a recent new "thory of scripture" picked up
from wof gurus etc. and fits his self image perfectly.
This is on the order of a mormon practice all are taught. If one has
questions about some bit of scripture or mormon doctrine; it will be
confirmed by recieving a "burning in the bosom".
