Has God ever made you aware that your understanding is incorrect?

"God ------ agrees with you------?"
I'm not sure if God is going to debate or discuss his Word.
With all the christian false religions claiming to worship God, isn't it obvious they do not have the correct understanding of scripture?
Christian false religions cry for peace while they send their sons to war.
Christian false religions claim they follow the footsteps of the Prince of Peace while they torture and burn at the stake those that disagree with their doctrines.
Christian false religions 'fornicate' with man's governments while claiming to support the Kingdom of God.
Most have not the true understanding of scripture because the truth is not in them anyway.
They choose the path of their father, who is the 'father of the lie'.
Jesus said that of the Pharisees of his time, men that ardently studied scripture. And it is true of Christian false religions today.

I don't know if it's a case of God agreeing with people. It's more a case of people coming to a deeper understanding the more they study the scriptures.
I think the more you read, the more your knowledge and understanding grows. There are things I don't understand, but I don't usually completely misinterpret what it says.
I think, though, that we always need to be open to God's Spirit showing us what the scripture means, and we need to be humble so he can guide us through the words.

Oh yes, many times...I hope He continues to make me aware when my understanding is incorrect. Whew..I mean who am I? I question everything..but I don't question Him and now I've come around to see that if its not in the Scriptures..even if its taught by learned men and women who seemingly know more...the Word of God is its own best interpretor and teacher and if its not there...I'm not about ever suppositioning it between the lines. My understanding about "hell", the state of the dead, the Sabbath, the Last Supper, the "anti-christ" and so many other things have been coming to light now that I have gone Sola Scriptura..so yeah..He's shown me the error of leaning on mine or anyone else's understanding.

When you read in context asking for God's help in understanding you are in the best position to receive the truth.
"God made me aware" YES by others and by other scriptures.

"Out of the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses...". Look else where in scripture for the same thing. Scripture will interpret itself.
I don't believe that I have incorrectly understood something, but there were things that I had to study to understand.

He may agree with much of what's written, but people use the scriptures and twist and contort them to suit there own needs and justify there own actions by declaring that God says it is ok. I think the scriptures need to be simplified.

If you align your spirit with God's your understanding of the Bible will be perfect. If you are failing to understand the scriptures it is because you are still under a spirit of rebellion.
In Christ,

Very unlikely. We have never agreed on anything before. He hasn't sent any lightning bolts my way yet. But then again scripture was written by man, God may not even agree with the scrpture.

God, through the Holy Spirit, is constantly teaching me new things in his word. As my heart is prepared fr new Knowledge, He prepares the understanding.
And in response to another answer on this question.
God is not a poor teacher,,, we are poor students.

It took months for the witch-hunters of Salem to notice that the whole town was f@cked up and it was their fault.
It took centuries for Christians to notice that slavery is bad and they weren't making it any better.
It took Queen Victoria's decision to use anesthesia during delivery to make the godidiots shut up about how sinful it is to try to alleviate human suffering.
God seems to be a very poor teacher.
