NASB | Romans 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 10:17 So faith comes from hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the [preaching of the] message concerning Christ. |
Subject: Is hearing necessary for salvation? |
Bible Note: Certainly worth a penny more. Thank you. Indeed it is a jump to use Ps. 111:10 and Pro. 9:10 as proof that "only the Spirit of God can give understsanding". True, fear of the Lord is spiritual discernment, and I cannot conclude that only the Spirit can give understanding of spiritual things. As you have stated, Paul teaches that creation is an evidence of God which should lead men towards him. That seems as though God expects spiritual discernment of everyone. |
