In a way and in some circumstances yes.Sometimes the understanding comes from the doing; in obeying/doing the commands of Christ.

So I have a question. How can one do anything if they don't understand what they're being told to do?

Do you see how alot of your posts are based of a 'we have to' kind of mindset? Interesting.
It is interesting if one looks back to the Greek. him that doeth is from a word meaning procduces bears fruit. So him that bears fruit of righteousness is righteous.
I'm going to just try to stay away from all that evil and try to do all that is good. And pray for Gods help.
That is all any of us can do :o
I also recommend checking various bible versions for the use of the word "evil" tho

False prophets in Daniel in the Bible. Revived Roman Empire, Beast of the Apocalypse of Mark, and Antiochus the Selucid Greek
.......As I have noticed while comparing translations of different verses in the Bible, even the most literal translations can suddenly depart from literalism, perhaps visit the Greek Septuagint and abandon the Hebrew translation for a single verse, whenever some highly cherished doctrine might be threatened by a truly literal translation.
Rule of thumb : you should never, ever rely exclusively on one single translation.)
That is a good idea and will serve you well.I'm going to just try to stay away from all that evil and try to do all that is good. And pray for Gods help.
Amen bro.
....been meditating on this.....seems that "holiness" involves "fearing" God. (Actually, "fearing God" would be a good study as well, since holiness and fearing God goes hand-in-hand)
The fear of God includes putting aside what we think and want as well as what others think and going with what Yahweh wants. Afterall, we won't listen to Him if we think our opinions are more important than His. Our lives are so much better when we commit to His opinions and ways because it's the beginning of real wisdom.
NO! I'm not scared of God. I do have a healthy respect for and of Him though. And that is exactly what the word fear means in Mat 10:28. The word fear is used in 2 ways in the verse.
