Ricky,
Yes, you misunderstand.
Ecc 1:9
"That which has been is that which will be,
And that which has been done is that which will be done.
So there is nothing new under the sun."
There are not new revelations, only old ones to be learned again. Every "new" idea, concept, thought, understanding we come across must be supported by the old.
As believers, we are not studying to learn "new" things, we are studying to learn "old" things............things that God has already revealed.
God did not make any of us "one man shows". He uses others to reveal his truth to us. Not only do we need to study the Word, we need to study the ideas of others.
