On bible knowledge
But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
To conclude my musings on why some people just don’t have (to me) basic bible knowledge, I was humbled and convicted by a friend of my pride.
Firstly, these things are revealed to us! Not something we can understand unassisted - christian or not. The above verse makes it clear that without the spirit working in us, the bible becomes meaningless and dead! What pride to think we could understand it on our own! The only reason a christian can read and rejoice at God’s written revelation is the spirit that dwells in us.
Is your bible reading dead today? maybe you need to get in touch with the spirit again.
