We can understand the Bible.

• Timothy understood the Old Testament as a child. (2 Tim 3:15)
• Whole books were to be read to congregations. (1 Th 5:27, Col 4:16)
• Paul said that when they read, they would understand. (Eph 3:4)
• Parts of books were addressed to husbands, wives, slaves, and children. (Eph 6:1)
• Those addressed were expected to understand. (Eph 5:17)
• Paul expected Christians to be in harmony when they speak, or think, or discern. (1 Cor 1:10)
• The New Testament consistently speaks of “the faith.” (Acts 6:7, Eph 4:5, Eph 4:13, 2 Cor 13:5, 1 Tim 6:10, Jude 1:3)
• Jesus prayed for unity that the world might believe. (John 17:21)

And, we can understand the Bible alike.

• That is the only way we can understand it.
• It offers truth on every subject.
• If all really understand, then all will agree.

Only a misunderstanding can bring differences.
