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]. |

Bible Note: Thanks for the clarification. When one is of a "theological system" (which all are) it would seem hard to comment on certain issues without getting into debates. I do agree that one should not be combative and use demeaning language but assert the text (the whole texts) in their arguments. I guess even the best of us allow personality to get in the way at times. I am guilty of that I am sure and as I stated before I apologize for any misunderstanding on my behalf. But I can not apologize for the "content" of my posts for I can not apologize for what the Scripture emphatically states to the glory of God alone. No offense was taken here and I pray none was received. I must admit though I was a little bothered by Hanks "tone" of his post, but he has probably seen and heard moe than I have here and thus just weary...as his post did indicate. May God Bless the Truth. |
