If all one relies on is their senses then that's a problem ... if one relies on His Word then one is given knowledge and wisdom that helps keep their senses in check.
Yes, but:
"The role of the Holy Spirit in the Interpretation of Scripture is to guide us to the truth contained within it. The Spirit assists us in interpretation by guiding us to truth, convincing us that it is true, and helping us understand and appropriate truth to our own faith and way of life. Without the help of the Holy Spirit, who inspired the writing of Scripture, interpretation of Scripture falls prey to our own bias and human understanding which may be flawed or unable to grasp spiritual wisdom of God. Thus a prayerful approach to reading and interpreting Scripture, open to the Spirit’s guidance, is required." Pasted from:
The Role of the Holy Spirit in the Interpretation of Scripture - Brian Harris
Our job is to learn to differentiate between our own carnate/personal inclinations, desires, motives, intentions, experiences, biases, and "wisdom," as a collective, and the Holy Spirit's voice and promptings. The Holy Spirit speaks to us through God's Holy Spirit Inspired Word, the Bible. Hence, we have verses like, "
Diligently study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman who does not need to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the Word of the truth;" 2 Tim 2:15 AFV (the AWANA theme verse,
Approved
Workman
Are
Not
Ashamed) and that one I already gave from Psalm 1:2, I believe, where
we should meditate upon God's Word day and night and another, "Your word is
a lamp to walk by, and a
light to illumine my path." Psalm 119:105 NET and, "These commandments that I give you today are
to be on your hearts.
Impress them on your children.
Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates." Deut 6:6-9 and also, Deut 11:18-20 NIV and, "If you abide in me,
and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you." Jn 15:7 ESV
I believe that if a person's
perception is grounded in having become a new creation in Christ Jesus and is in submission to Jehovah, God the Trinity, including the indwelling Holy Spirit, then their perception or interpretation of the truth of the Scriptures has the greatest chance of accuracy for their understanding, "But we must approach it with both a sincere seeking of the Holy Spirit’s help and guidance, and a careful study of the text. Having said all this, if our interpretation process is good, and we have with due diligence studied Scripture and allowed the Holy Spirit to guide us in our interpretation, does this mean our interpretation is always going to be right? When we consider we are trying to interpret a meaning to a text for our own context, we can easily get this wrong." Pasted from:
