Do you have to personally experience a problem to understand its solution?
Each of our loves are unique.
I’m sure I can find something I dealt with that you have not.
And the other way around as well.
BUT does it matter?
TRUTH exists independent of the individual
It does not depend on the messenger

What does it take to understand sin?

Sin is common to man – 1 Corinthians 10:13
The nature of sin is defined for us – James 1:13-16; 1 John 2:15,16
And the Bible is filled with examples- 1 Corinthians 10:6,11

Do you have to believe in something to understand its flaws?
Was it wrong for the prophets to condemn idolatry since they didn’t worship idols? – Isaiah 44:9-11
Does it mean Isaiah didn’t really understand idolatry?
The truth is that the idolaters did not understand – Isaiah 44:12-20

Do you have to know everything before you can say you understand & believe?
Imagine: “I don’t understand quantum mechanics, so therefore I don’t believe in chemistry.”
That is how some people treat religion.

8. “You don’t understand” is an excuse to avoid listening to truth

“You don’t understand” is an excuse to avoid listening to truth
Let’s be willing to accept truth, regardless of WHO delivers it – Ephesians 5:14-17 NKJV 14 Therefore He says: "Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light." 15 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
