My, my Lance, you've just run right off here into
another subject entirely - Let's stick with the one at hand and see
what
God has to say about it ... Those prophets are
messing with your head.
1 Cor 2:14 Juxtaposes the two kinds of
wisdom - which are natural/worldly and spiritual or
that from above.
1 Cor 1:20 "For since in the wisdom of God the world
through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well pleased through
the (incarnation)? ... foolishness of the message preached to save those who
believe"
There is a natural body and there is a spiritual body
(1 Cor 15:44-46)
There is wisdom from above and there is wisdom that is
earthly, sensual and demonic (James 3:15)
There are people who are spiritually minded and those
who are worldly minded and devoid of the Spirit (Jude 19)
Unless and until they repent the world can not receive
the Spirit of Truth (John 14:17)
God makes foolish the wisdom of the world (1 Cor
1:18-20)
So lets stay on track and see what leads up to
1 Cor 2:14 ...... Paul writes:
1 Cor 2:6 The wisdom we speak is not of this age nor of
the rulers of this age who are passing away....
1 Cor 2:7 We speak God's wisdom in a mystery
.....
1 Cor 2:8 The wisdom which none of the rulers of this
age has understood ...
1 Cor 2:10 For to us God revealed them through the
Spirit for the Spirit searches all things even the depths of
God....
1 Cor 2:11 Who knows the thought of a man except the
spirit of the man which is in him ...
even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God
1 Cor 2:12 Now we have received not the spirit of the
world but the Spirit who is from God that we might know.....
1 Cor 2:13 Which things we also speak not in words
taught by human wisdom but in those taught by the Spirit
combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words
1 Cor 2:14 But the natural (or worldly) 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 discerned.
So how did "merely human" get into the
conversation and where does the drug of sophistry come from? Paul is
discussing two kinds of wisdom here - this
is not about who the people think they are or
mature/immature.
