Success is the Rule

Prophets can err. Your understanding of the prophets can err. Your belief that the prophets have erred in one particular instance can (and usually does) err.

Reasoners err. Your understanding of reasoners errs. Your reasoning errs.

Teachers err. Scientists err. Experts err (a lot!). Journalists err like crazy. Officials err.

Memes err, pics err, video errs, print errs.

Emotions err, common sense errs, dreams err.

A perfect being cannot explain everything you need to know perfectly to you because you are imperfect and limited and blind.

Some sources are better than others (the prophets). Some are straight bad.  But even the best are guides,  and like any guide the true measure is that it takes you to the destination.  Not in your mind,  but in your experience of being.

Here’s Paul:

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ

What you can do is try, then experience the fruits. Are you less imperfect, less limited, less blind? Good.

Are you more like Christ? Continue.
