Who is the True keeper/teacher of the Word of God?

The Pharisees, Sadducee's, and Herodians were the pre-Christ keepers of the Word of God. It didn't take long for them to turn it into a "self serving" religion. The same has happened since Christ and we seem to be slipping into the same morass. I see the problem now...........once again it has been entrusted into the hands of man, many of which "know not the Spirit." God's way of correcting this will be "Christ's return", as with His first event, this will be another game changer.
Until it is once again taught that "being filled, sealed, and baptized in the Holy Spirit is an experience, (both spiritual and physical), starting by faith then turning into the "evidence and substance." Look to the Book of Acts, or we will continue in making allowances to minimize this promise. Thereby "having a form of Godliness but denying the power thereof."
There are enough "lackluster formulations" out there representing Christianity to implicate that salvation is the only reason we preach the Gospel, but God's real purpose for salvation through Jesus Christ is to prove His Love for all mankind by His witnessing with power to the Truth that sets free. Without such "witness" by the Holy Spirit, (signs, wonders, divers miracles, ect) the Book of Acts would be pretty lame having followed the Gospels wherein we were promised by Jesus to receive "power from on high." Salvation is an "all inclusive" Word that encompasses freedom from all sin but also the promise of all that was promised by God the Father and Jesus Christ the Son. Everything, period. Every precious promise of God is True, (as He cannot lie), whether you have seen, heard, witnessed, or prayed for them. Your experience is not what makes God's Word True of false. God's Word is True regardless of us who believe. Much of today's doctrine doesn't address this issue to the "empowering of the saints." So then it's up to you, the believer, to embrace the Truth and be "set free."
When we stand before God "in that day" what you were taught won't matter one bit, but "what you hungered and thirsted after" in His Word during your "closet times."
I hope that this word of encouragement will challenge you as it does me daily in seeking the Truth.
Start with the Holy Spirit then devour the Word like it is as important as your "real meat."
Love
