Bible Note: 1 Cor 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, 1 Cor 2:13 which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. 1 Cor 2:14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. Dear disciplerami, I honestly cannot understand how one could read 1 cor 2 and come to the conclusion that Paul is talkng about saints as "natural" men. It is quite plain that he is contrasting "but" (v.13) the saints of Corinth "we" (v.12) with "natural man" (v.14.) I am not "assuming" anything. It is as clear as glass. "we" have received, NOT the spirit of the world, BUT the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God. John |
