AC 9424 - the Word & doctrine (or teachings) from the Word

AC 9424 [2]
Since another opportunity to do so is provided here,
something more will be stated
about the way in which support is given to the Word
by teachings (doctrine) derived from the Word.
 A person unacquainted with the arcana (secrets) of heaven
cannot help thinking that the Word can be supported
without the doctrine derived from it;
for that person supposes that such doctrines lie
in the letter or literal sense of the Word.
But it should be recognized
that all things taught by the Church
must be derived from the Word,
and that doctrine from any source other than the Word
is not doctrine that possesses anything of the Church within it,
let alone anything of heaven.
The doctrine must be gathered together from the Word,
and while it is being gathered
a person must receive enlightenment from the Lord;
and a person receives such enlightenment
when governed by the love of truth for its own sake
and not for any selfish or worldly reason.
These are the people
who are enlightened in their reading of the Word;
they see truth,
and formulate religious doctrine for themselves from It.
The reason why this should be so
is that such people are in touch with heaven
and so with the Lord,
and because of this they receive enlightenment from the Lord
and are led by Him
to see the truths of the Word as they exist in heaven.
For the Lord flows by way of heaven
into those people's understanding,
a person's inward understanding
being that which receives the enlightenment;
and at the same time the Lord flows in with faith,
which is imparted through the co-operation of the new will,
which desires truth for truth's sake.
All this now shows how the doctrine of good and truth
is given people by the Lord.
