Who decides what’s divine - the believer or the preacher?

Isn’t divinity something we discover through our own experience, not through authority?

When faith rests only on another’s voice, doesn’t it turn into obedience rather than realization?

A preacher may interpret and guide, but belief is an inward conviction shaped by conscience and understanding.

I believe true spirituality begins when the believer questions, reflects, and finds the divine within ...... not merely through borrowed conviction.

Ive tried to explain this so many times, but youve worded it better.

I know there are many who need religion, or a prophetic book to guide them, or rituals to connect them to something greater.
But then there are those that just feel it, see it and are naturally connected to the divinity of life.

Perosnally ive never felt divinity from a book, or during a sermon. Although I have felt it in the rain, or in a sunrise.

I think everyone is tuned to their own 'vibration' , (if you can call it that), so everyone gets their "divinity" their own way 🤷‍♀
