The apostle, Paul, said that he had not yet attained.   He pressed toward the mark of the high calling in Christ Jesus.   The writer of Hebrews mentioned many dead in Christ who had not attained during their life times, but they were found faithful.   It remains that some must enter into that rest.

Many organizations have some way of stating that they have the correct or the complete revelation of God.   Some even name their organization after a partial revelation.   They have some revelation; that is true.    However, God is infinite.   We are finite.   Our understanding is incomplete.   God is always calling us to a deeper understanding and a closer experience with Him.   If we say that we have everything, we close the door to God.   We become as the Scribes and Pharisees who said that they had no need.   At that point, having rejected further revelation from our Savior, the Light that was in us becomes darkness.   The Living Word becomes the dead letter.  "The letter killeth"  2 Corinthians 3:6 

The Holy Spirit will not give up on us.   He keeps coming back, maybe through the word of a friend, maybe through a web site, maybe through our conscience, maybe through a Bible verse, but He keeps coming back.   He hopes to get us to move forward with the glory cloud.   In the end, we will have no excuse if we don't keep pressing toward the mark of the high calling in Jesus Christ.

The natural reaction of the human to new revelation is to reject it and try to find a way to rationalize it away. God has not called us to be natural but spiritual. He has called us to deny ourselves. Many times, we would be far better off to say, I don't understand it, but there it is in Scripture, so I believe it. I'll put it on the back burner until God makes it real to me.

Every time that God has tried to give further revelation of the Scripture, there have been those who refused to move on with God. Those who have refused to go on with God have tended to condemn those who were moving on with God. Those who are moving on with God don't have time for squabbles. They are moving on. However, once those who had been moving on with God stopped moving, they have plenty of time for squabbles and self-righteous finger-pointing. Then they turn around and condemn those who didn't move on with God.

Now we have some of those who don't speak in tongues saying that those who do speak in tongues are going to hell. Some of those who do speak in tongues say that those who don't speak in tongues are going to hell. Christians attacking Christians over doctrine--it's a common occurrence.

Some of those who believe the Scriptures that speak of Christian choosing or Christian purpose condemn those who believe the Scriptures regarding predestination, and vice versa. Both are Scripture. Both are true. What are they fighting about? Some of those who believe the Scriptures regarding the unity of the Godhead condemn those who believe the Scriptures that refer to the three person's of the Godhead, and vice versa. Again, both are true. The problem comes up when someone tries to use rationalized speculation to go beyond the revelation of Scripture.

If we all seek God, we will all believe the same things. We will all begin to realize that the Bible is authoritative but not of our own interpretation. We will begin to understand those Scriptures that tell about how the Scriptures are to be understood, and we will stop leaning on our own understanding. We will stop leaning on human-devised methods of understanding Scripture. Sometimes, we may even have the humility to admit that we don't know everything.

Rom 8:7   because the carnal mind is enmity against God, for it is not subject to the Law of God, neither indeed can it be.
