False teachers today speak "1984" and "Humpty Dumpty."
Beware!
If words mean anything, they mean what they say (except in the messed-up worlds of "1984," Caroll's "Humpty Dumpty," and today's chaos).
But God said what He meant and meant what He said. We do not need to fix God's Word we need to fix our eyes upon Jesus and let Him fix our hearts.
Words are the boxcars that carry our thoughts.
Remember, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. All things were made by Him, and without Him, nothing was made that was made... And the Word became Flesh." Jesus is the eternal Word. Jesus is God's Word to us and God's Word carries God's thoughts. We know what God wants us to know when we know Jesus.
True ministers of the word of God communicate God's message, they do not add to His message or take away from His message. We need to accept what God said without editing it.
We need to understand and speak the language of Canaan God's spiritual language found in Scripture. Speaking the language of Canaan is speaking God's language. God's message does not change with time or culture. We don't need a gift of tongues from God's Spirit to understand God's word; we need God's Spirit.
God's Spirit will regenerate, enter, abide, lead, enlighten the trusting and obedient believer. Divine light transforms the sinner into a child of God and conforms the believer to the image of God's Son.
We cannot think the thoughts of God without the Word (Son) of God and the Spirit of God. We need to be filled with light (truth), which comes with being filled with God's word and God's Spirit.
This means surrendering our minds and bringing every thought into obedience to God's word. This takes time and it requires personal decreasing to experience Divine increasing.
