(for personal probing, not for argumentation)

Do you think it is possible for the Holy Spirit to teach you some deeper truths through the study of God's word?

Do you think it is possible to miss the enlightening work of the Holy Spirit because you are not listening intently or fully obedient?

Do you think it is possible that God might enable your pastor to lead you into greater light, through preaching, teaching, counseling, exhortation, correction, reproving and instructing you in faith and practice?

Do you think it is possible that you might not receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit's enlightenment concerning Biblical living, doctrine, Scripture, knowledge, understanding, wisdom, discernment and the whole counsel of God, because you think your few years and limited study of the Bible makes you more qualified than a God called, equipped, taught, gifted, trained, led, experienced, full time shepherd, who follows God, trusts Jesus, studies God's word and is empowered by the Holy Spirit?

Is it possible that some folks have discovered truths in the Christian experience that seem foreign and overstated to you?

Is it possible that you are not living life on the highest plane, but rather have settled for life on a lower plane because it is higher than than the plane attained by most who profess salvation?
