I disagree, the Eunuch needed help because the finished work provided by the Holy Spirit was not yet available.Many false doctrines come from wrong interpretations of the Bible. In fact, using Scripture as the sole rule of faith is a virtual guarantee of division simply because an endless supply of individuals are privately interpreting it. The Ethiopian eunuch needed to have Scripture interpreted for him by Philip, a member of an exclusive group of disciples who had the inside info and understanding based on the revelation they had received before a word of the NT was written.
And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
Acts 8:30
As you can see he was reading from the prophet Esaias. If I only had the writings that the Eunuch had available I too would have needed assistance.
God's word, absent "man's greater wisdom" and man's sinful pride, planted in the humble, God seeking heart will produce a Christian.
In Him
