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: John, "If you wish to say that the atonement was insufficient to save, but that works of men were needed to to complete the work of Christ, I can't stop you." I said no such thing. Please do not put words into my mouth. It is bad enough that you put the word "alone" into Paul's mouth next to faith when it was never there. Check your concordance and Greek lexicon. Paul knew the word for alone and used it, put not ever with faith. If he wanted to say "faith alone" he could have and would have and the Holy Spirit would have inspired him to do so. But he did not! Taking the obedience out of faith leaves an empty shell, a body without a spirit, which is dead as James said. If you are upset that Paul never said "faith alone" take it up with Paul and the Holy Spirit. Emmaus |
