yes, it says that. but you can't trust ministers over God, they teach what they've been taught or what they've decided on or come to believe over time i would think.
but how do you know what this one or that one has decided on is true? or that you couldn't know more than them if you look elsewhere? you don't, unless the Spirit tells you somehow or you already know more than them.
so you have to seek your own way to truth and not get stuck where any other person is
currently in their understanding.
that person isn't you.
seek and you will find.
"2Jesus said, “This is how you should pray:
a
“Father, may your name be kept holy.
May your Kingdom come soon.
3Give us each day the food we need,
b
4and forgive us our sins,
as we forgive those who sin against us.
And don’t let us yield to temptation.
c”
5Then, teaching them more about prayer, he used this story: “Suppose you went to a friend’s house at midnight, wanting to borrow three loaves of bread. You say to him,
6‘A friend of mine has just arrived for a visit, and I have nothing for him to eat.’
7And suppose he calls out from his bedroom, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is locked for the night, and my family and I are all in bed. I can’t help you.’
8But I tell you this—though he won’t do it for friendship’s sake, if you keep knocking long enough, he will get up and give you whatever you need because of your shameless persistence.
d
9“And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.
10For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened."
Luke 11
you cannot trust any person over the Spirit (though many people and sources can and will help). trusting any person over the Spirit is not True truth-seeking (prove All things).
