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]. |

Bible Note: Hi Hank, Since baptists have so much in common with catholics, perhaps you two fellas could put your heads together and answer a question I have? Where in the Bible can I find any verse at all that says that the natural man has any ability to understand or recieve spiritual things? And Hank, I would'nt recommend making light of a doctrine that is found throughout God's Holy Word. Just a friendly admonishment. John |
