God gave us experience and reason and revelation to guide us, to balance each other out.

If you let experience dominate you you'll fall into spiritual delusion and heresy. Look at Quakers with their "inner light" stuff, some of them become universalists/LGBT promoters and adopt all sorts of heresies because they are run by emotion purely. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Jer 17:9

If you let reason dominate you your faith will be dry and unmotivating and decrepit....

So a balance must exist, between man's soul, heart, and mind.

>No matter how many scriptures you read its all useless until you actually feel reality of god,belief is poor substitute for real knowing.
Gnosis is very secondary. We are asked for simple and humble faith to work good. Gnosis can pomp you up and make you proud, that's very dangerous.
And more importantly Gnosis cannot save you by itself.

Is there anything funnier than wealthy 1st worlders (most of them obese) contemplating a deadly "revolution" to gamble on an unproven "system" for the marginal chance of a slightly cushier standard of living?
