The Bible is well able, and does in fact, interpret itself, because it is a masterful work of divine literature, from God's mouth dictated to holy men. Not only that, but the Holy Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ will also help you understand what you are reading, maybe not right away, but he will get the answer to you, I promise, he has done that very thing for me many times over. You must also LIVE in holiness unto the Lord Jesus Christ, without hypocrisy. Well, there you have it, the basic Christian beliefs. Know them. Breath them. Live them, and spread the good news while there is still time -Amen!
In truth, living a Christian life is so much more than just "going to church." A living faith in Jesus Christ, is one where you actually DO what you are taught in Scripture. If you think hyperfaith is even better than a simple faith in Jesus Christ, then you are sadly mistaken. Hyperfaith makes you focus on everything and anything other than Jesus. Real faith simply believes what God/Jesus says. There's no special formula. Just believe. No emotional rigmarole. Just believe. No need for in depth teaching and instruction in "special revelation" knowledge. Just believe. Faith comes by hearing the word of God, not hearing the word of some faith preacher's private interpretation of Scripture. Therefore, it is very important that you read your Bible daily, because it's the only God approved manual for Christian living, so choose a good version, such as the New King James Version, or New International version because they are easy to understand and are direct translations of Hebrew and Greek texts, not a paraphrase like The Living Bible. Just read it from cover to cover, starting at Genesis and ending in Revelation, and if you don't understand something, may I recommend using Matthew Henry's commentary of the Bible. It is online and can be a good help to grasp what is being said, however, one should be leery of any commentaries that espouses a "mystical" or "allegorical" interpretation of Scripture. Although allegory is found in Scripture, such as Jesus' parables, the Bible itself isn't an entire allegory, nor should it be interpreted as such. The Bible is well able, and does in fact, interpret itself, because it is a masterful work of divine literature, from God's mouth dictated to holy men. Not only that, but the Holy Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ will also help you understand what you are reading, maybe not right away, but he will get the answer to you, I promise, he has done that very thing for me many times over.
