to study under the anointing of the Holy Spirit there is the tendency that we could
achieve 100% accuracy in the use of the Bible.
The following assertions will aid our understanding of the truth and falsehood
among those that handle Text of the Bible.
1. The Realm of Biblical Truth:
If we fail to follow Biblical truth we are likely to be the victims of Scriptural
falsehood. In order word s if we
do not stay in the realm of Biblical truth
falsehood is inevitable.
2. Biblical truths are difficult to difficult to discern. This is because, they do
not confirm to our thinking and reasoning faculties. Example of Matthew 16: 17.
Here, the truth has to be revealed to Apostle Peter to be able to access the truth

show you things to come.
Unless the Holy Spirit moderates our intellects the possibility of the mind being
