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, Here is a similar scripture: Gal 5:16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Why tell a believer to walk after the Spirit. Wouldn't that be automatic for someone that is "Elect". It sounds like a command (with the choice to refuse or obey). You said: "You also said that: "We all have the spirit of life". Would you tell me what you mean by "all"? " All men (believers or not) have the spirit of life: Ecclesiastes 12:7 and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. The point is that all men have the "light of life" to make a fair choice for Jesus: John 1:4In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. I must confess that I am just starting the "really" understand some of these scriptures myself. I pray that others will much more understand and expound. God Bless, Pastor Glenn |
