How can one start to develop Biblical knowledge which will yield understanding, wisdom, truth and discernment? I would think that you must study, you must do some research. You may have to make an intensive intellectual effort to study in order to gain Yahweh’s approval. Does not the Word of Yahweh say that we should study?[i]

We must study the scriptures with readiness of mind, searching the scriptures daily to seek the truth and test the words of men and women to see whether we can believe the words of the men and women who teach and preach the words of Yahweh. [ii]

We know that the Bible claims to be the inspired Word of Yahweh.[iii]

It is an instruction in righteousness and the Ruach HaKodesh is the author of the Bible.[iv]

But we also know that the human race has the tendency to violate Yahweh’s TORAH. And that is he continuously adds to and take away from what He has written.[v]

Mankind has set a trap for himself. He has decided to make his own laws and to place his laws above the laws of Yahweh. Man has decided that Yahweh's laws are too burdensome when in reality they are not burdensome.[vi]

So then, let us come to the first conclusion about this matter. Mankind is not capable of performing righteousness, and why is that? We have heard from the Prophet Jeremiah. He says the hearts of men is desperately wicked and that no one can know it.[vii]

Of course one can say that there are some people in our world and certainly in our society who are good and strive to do the right thing towards their fellow human being and animals. But man has been given over to a reprobate mind.[viii]

With that kind of mindset, he has no idea what is right and what is wrong. In most cases, man thinks he knows God but in reality he knows the gods of his mind and worships that god of his religion, his tradition, his philosophy and himself. He has never known YHVH.[ix]

He is a fool and that is what the Bible says he is.[x]

He will spend his whole life living a narcissistic lifestyle, seeking gratification, vanity, and pride, and ego, admiration for self, ignorant and stupid.[xi]

Finally we are told that in the end man has an appointment. And you know what that appointment will be about.[xii]
