... and lean not to my own 'feelings' and understanding!
So did god make you to be a puppet?
I believe that if we search our feelings god will reveal to us what is right and what is wrong.
"Therefore test every thing, hold onto the good, and stay away from all kinds of evil."
Never said, there was anything wrong with drinking warm milk ... or reading the Scriptures for that matter?
"Knowledge without understanding, does not equate to wisdom."
I know you never said there was something wrong with drinking warm milk and I never said there was something wrong with reading Scripture. What I was pointing out is that "Reading the Scriptures without the Spirit."can hardly be compared to dinking warm milk without chocolate, since there is nothing wrong with drinking warm milk without chocolate, but there is something wrong with "Reading the Scriptures without the Spirit." Do you get it now?

great topic, I say yes, there are several places that our Lord say that he is God and all the apostles say the same thing.
#1. Jesus himself. new testament, John 8:58 "Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am". old testament, Isaiah 52:6 "Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I". here the Lord Jesus is speaking before his arrival in flesh and blood. and when he arrives, he says the same quote. John 8:24 "I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins". and Revelation 1:18 " I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death".
#2. the apostle Paul, Titus 2:13 "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ". for there is only one Saviour, and that's God, supportive scripture. Isaiah 43:11 "I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour". Isaiah 60:16 "Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob". and Jesus the Christ is the Redeemer.
#3. the apostle Peter, 2 Peter 1:1 "Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ". here the apostle identifies Jesus the Christ as God and Saviour.
#4. Jude, Jude 1:25 "To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen". Jesus is the only wise God, who is the only Saviour.
#5, Bro. Stephen, Acts 7:59 "And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
#6. Bro. Ananias, Acts 9:15 "But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel". it was the Lord Jesus who meet Saul, and now Paul on the road to Damascus, right. now let hear the apostle Paul account of the same event later when he is comforting the angry Jews in Jerusalem. Acts 22:11 "And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus. 12 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there 13 Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him. 14 And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth". wait a minute, I thought in Acts 9 it was Jesus who chose Paul?.
#7 Bro. John on the Island of Patmos, Revelation 1:1 "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John". the question is, who sent his angel to give to his servants. the answer Jesus the Christ, right, well lets see?. Revelation 22:6 "And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done". sound like the same quote from Revelation 1:1. for Jesus Christ is clearly identified as the one who sent his angel. and he is clearly identified as "the Lord God", and he is further identified as the God of the holy prophets. this is confirmed by the apostle Peter, 1 Peter 1:10 "Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow". so Christ as Spirit was in the Holy Prophets.
