Bible Note: Doc, I Cor 2:14 in no way says or can be correctly interpreted as saying that "God does something physical to man's natural or spiritual substance." As I read it, all it says is that the man, as a sinner, does not value God's word and, therefore, rejects it because he has no spiritual apprehension of it's significance; that is basically it. Is 64:6a states that the transgressor's righteousness, in comparison to God's standard of righteousness, are unacceptable. Nothing here about change of nature as you suggest. The same goes for Titus 1:16; 2:14; 2 Corinthians 7:10, and Acts 11:18. Your interpretation to me has no bearing on the verses you cited. If Packer is suggesting what you have stated, I respectfully submit that my reading of the Bible shows he also is misinterpreting the verses. |
