I love your faith and passion and commitment to serving God's people, but I can't agree with your belief that human beings are capable of achieving complete knowledge of God's will by reading the Bible literally (if I understand you correctly). For me, neither literal readings of scripture nor church tradition offers perfect knowledge of the truth. I believe we human beings are all groping imperfectly for the truth.
Thanks, Jai. Christians do not believe achieving complete knowledge of God’s will — be it through reading the Bible, Church tradition, or any other source — is possible either.
