Scripture is inspired of God, but it isn't the words themselves that are true. Truth is found in the meaning behind the words. Because of this fact, many educated and scholarly opinions are formed--in contradiction to each other. They can't agree on what the scriptures mean in every case.
In the midst of this war of words and tumult of opinions, what is to be done? Which opinion is right, or are they all wrong together? James the Apostle gives the answer: "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men [freely]." God will teach us what He meant. He promises He will tell us in our minds and in our hearts, if we humbly seek Him.
