You must be in fellowship prior to your Bible study, so that the spiritual information you receive can become a source, of blessing to your soul and produce spiritual growth.
26 Let
them be ashamed [buwsh] and brought to confusion [chapher] together [yachad] that
rejoice [sameach] at mine hurt [ra`]: let them be clothed [labash] with shame [bosheth] and dishonour [k@limmah] that magnify [gadal]
themselves against me. KJV-Interlinear
26 Let them
be put to shame and disappointed altogether who rejoice at my calamity! Let
them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me! ESV
Bible doctrine is truth. Disregard for learning Bible doctrine means that you reject truth and pursue the lies of the world. There are only two viewpoints in existence. God has the viewpoint of truth, and everything else is the other viewpoint of all that is false.
Without truth, you have no basis for orienting to life or to reality. Everything is relative and subject to compromise and the imagination of the sin nature.
The false yields nothing.
And yet, those who reject learning doctrine, presume that they know it all. They celebrate in their false wisdom, never knowing that they are running down a path of self-destruction. They do not see the destruction, and therefore reject that it even exists.
That is, until the end of their life, and then it is too late to correct all of the lifetime of errors.
The result? Shame, and this is not some simple shame, but an extreme shame, a dishonor of all dishonors.
At the end, having lived an entire life, knowing of God, knowing of Jesus, knowing of the Bible, and remaining indifferent or antagonistic against them, even of mocking their existence and content, then the light in the head, will come one and the reality of life, which you only see after death, will result in the most horrific shame of the most extreme failure ever.
