Jack Deere on Bible Deism

One of the most serious flaws of Bible deism is the confidence the Bible deist places in his abilities to interpret the Bible. He assumes that the greater his knowledge of the Bible, the more accurate his interpretations are... But the Author of the Bible is the best interpreter of the Bible... How does one persuade God to illumine the Bible? Does God give illumination to the ones who know Hebrew and Greek the most? What if the condition of one's heart is more important for understanding the Bible than the abilities of one's mind? (1 Cor 1:26-30; 1 Cor 2:7-10; John 5:37-40)
