Why Many Cannot Understand The Bible (sequel 1) by knowingChrist(m): 6:56am On Jan 21, 2022
The bible is written in languages and as such, the grammatical laws of language must be considered or studied and known before even attempting to understand the message.

As mentioned in the preceeding write up, the Holy Ghost helps a person who studies to see these key words and this births the understanding of the actual message in the person. Also mentioned was the fact that many who claim to believe in Jesus lack the knowledge as is the proof of a believer, and many who blatantly reject the gospel is because of their lack of knowledge of grammatical laws which in turn leads to their lack of understanding of the message.

On this write up, we shall discus the difference between "Any" and "Any other". This is important because it's among the most controversial grammatical law applied to writing of the bible as can be seen in Genesis 3:1, and the snake is more subtle than "any" beast of the field (animal) that the Lord God had made.

The word "any" is used to compare two different things while "any other" is used to compare the similar things. For example, we can create a statement comparing two different sex by saying: a man is expected to be physically stronger than "any" woman.

From the example above, a person will deduce that a man is not a woman and a man is expected to be physically stronger than every woman.

Similarly, we can say God is wiser than "any" man, and a listener will understand that God is not a man and God is wiser than all man.

The meaning of these statements are changed if the phrase "any other" is used in the place of the word "any" as it'll mean a man is a woman, and God is a man.

That said, when the bible says the snake is more subtle than "any" animal, the hidden message is that the snake is not an animal and is wiser all animals.

We at KnowingChrist group emphasise the study of the scriptures as opposed to reading. This is bc in study, we get to dissect the scripture accordingly by interpreting every word in context and applying every law as necessary. In reading, a person might be able to recite the bible but cannot understand the actual message.

seeing key words births understanding? Please stop believing these lies. undecided

Comprehension of that which is written in scripture is not gotten from spotting what you call key words but instead from having and using the basic human language comprehension skills you have as a human versed in at least one human language. As for the understanding of the Kingdom of God, Jesus Christ basically told you in Matthew 13 vs 10 - 17,that to acquire that, what you need is to use the little understanding you have first undecided
