A Question of Perspective

[ElijahSK]

I would like to pose a question here for discussion.

If we have a given thing which we know God's perspective on, assuming our perspective as man is different from God's, when should we assume (walk by) our perspective rather than God's?

Never.
We should always try to walk by Gods Word and not our own.

That would be rebellious and arragont. Also dumb.
Who is smarter? God or man.
The correct answer is God.

This is an interesting question. I think Lucifer asked it about 10 gazillion BC.

JI packer said we have two choices: saint or brute. If we choose our way when we know it is contrary to God's, we are saying that we know better than God. Jesus Christ showed how a man would live when he always did things God's way. We have to decide: Do we want to be like Christ? Paul made it clear: the only other alternative is slavery to sin.

What if by looking at ourselves in our experience we came up with a different perspective than what is revealed in God's word? Like God was telling us something that if we were to look at ourselves we would have to determine that God lied.

God's word is true.

If a life experience is different than what God says then the experience is wrong as well as the perspective received from it.

Change the perspective to fit God's word. Our experiences never prove God wrong. If one learns God's ways and does them then the experiences will line up with the truth(God's word) and be true experiences.
