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.

God's Word says there is no divine within us, until we come to know Christ and accept him into our hearts and lives. It is His Holy Spirit joining ours, that brings our spirit alive. We either believe him or we don't. I think if we were so smart that we could fear it all out ourselves, we would not have needed Jesus but that's why he came, to tell us how to get to heaven so there's no mistaking it. But some are too stubborn to listen. He is no liar. I know I can depend on him instead of flawed man.
