Bible Note: Hello CSM, You wrote: "The point being glory used in I Cor 15:38-45, denotes the usefulness of a thing" How do you arrive at this? You wrote: "If you can understand the natural things of the earth and their relationships you can understand the Godhead, according to this scripture [Ro 1:20] scripture." No, it says you can see evidence of God via the display of his power and godhead (i.e. divine nature). The godhead is only understandable through spiritual means 1 Cor 2:12-14 (ESV): Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. Steve |
