Bible Note: No Mark...the text does not expicitely say the that unsaved "cannot even bear listening to God's Word"? That attitude is( from my own experience) common in evangelism and was a generalization on my part. I apologize for not framing my response more fully than I did. Lookn's characterization of the natural man was (IMO) a grave underestmation of the condition of unsaved man. The point I was attempting to make was this ...apart from the work of the Holy Sprit, the unsaved (natural) man considers the Gospel as foolishness. That being spiritually dead, the person can only understand carnal things.And that, spritual things can only be believed by those who themselves are spiritual persons. Those who have the Spirit indwelling their hearts and minds. Thanks, Hoppy |
