I am thankful for the spiritual and academic expertise that has gone into providing and teaching God's word. But remember, even in well intentioned Bible study, it is possible to be, "ever learning, but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."
Some Scriptural truths are clear and self evident, while some portions are difficult and only become clear to the believer who searches God’s word.
Some portions are easily comprehended, while others are not explained completely. In many cases the unexplained and the clear passages are presented in theological studies as theories. The Atonement is a fact, but there are particulars not explained, therefore there are theories of the Atonement. Likewise there are theories concerning other great truths of the Bible.
Sometimes the truth of a passage or Bible subject is found in various theories, rather than in only one theory (such as the Atonement).
God told us that the the study of many books can produce weariness.
