Who guided the Spirit of the Lord? Or how your advisor taught you? With whom did he take advice to give him understanding? Who instructed him in the path of judgment, and taught him wisdom, and showed him the way of understanding? ISAIAS 40. 13-14
To understand the role of an advisor, we just need to look at the life of an active politician, the advisor is the one who talks, who listens to the petitions of the people and takes them to his boss, be he councilor, mayor or president. The advisor is a kind of mediator between the politician and the people; very difficult is to ask a politician for something in person, except during elections, therefore, the advisor becomes an advisor, an advisor and in most cases it is he who determines which petitions should be answered. This is in short the role of a person who advises someone.
The Bible, however, clearly tells us through the above-quoted verses that our God does not have advisors and not advisors, that there is no one trying to make up his mind, he is free and he knows what does. The fact is that many think contrary to the word of God, they think that God needs “advisers”, teachers in judgment and justice. There is a large number of religious and leaders who believe that in order for us to receive something from the Sir, we have to talk first with an advisor, someone who thinks to exert some influence on HE. According to their conception, God has many advisers, and such advisers also have a capricious will. For the petition to reach God, for example, it is necessary to carry out a whole liturgy, a special rite.
Do not stop now... There's more after the advertising ;)
Not to mention that such "mediators" are not like general practitioners, no, they obey a huge specificity, some should only be requested when the cause is really impossible, others only when someone wants to get married, anyway, we could fill an endless list with all your specialties, because they are many. So, according to some, one should not ask any “mediator” for things, it has to be the one who works in that specific area. What a complication, what a distortion of the truth.
I believe based on the Bible, that God is saddened to see that people can talk directly to him and they don't, they prefer to believe in a non-existent mediator, an unreal adviser and a fable created to deceive and deviate from the path real.
