NASB | 1 Corinthians 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. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 2:14 ¶ But the natural [unbelieving] man does not accept the things [the teachings and revelations] of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness [absurd and illogical] to him; and he is incapable of understanding them, because they are spiritually discerned and appreciated, [and he is unqualified to judge spiritual matters]. |
Subject: How can anyone be saved? |
Bible Note: Dear Mommapbs, You said: I can see that you have thought much on this topic. I have Momma. I set out to disprove it. And ran smack dab up against His Word. I have agonized over Election verses Free Will and all that it implies. In the end I took comfort from the Word. Gen 18:25 "... Shall not the Judge of all the earth deal justly?" The Sovereignty of God and the responsibility of man are one of those questions that may have to wait til we're glorified...if then! In the meantime my acceptance of God's election of us has sure cleared up alot of verses that troubled me.(John 6., Rom 9 etc.) God Bless, John |
