it isn’t a matter of brain power, many brilliant Jews reject Jesus and His Church.

Paul tells us “ the unspiritual man does not receive the gifts of the Spirit of God for they are folly to them and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned”

Just....

wow....

If you're going to try to recite Scripture, you could at least try to get it right so you don't make a fool of yourself.

That passage says NOTHING about the gifts of the Spirit but rather wisdom of God.

1 Corinthians 2:6-16 6Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. 7But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. 8None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9But, as it is written,

"What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him"—

10these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. 11For who knows a person’s thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. 13And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.

14The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. 15The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. 16 "For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.

When it gets as low as the CC man made teachings - it is brain power. Some light bulb should go off. After all - catholics don't believe God's Word is The Final Authority. They dismiss it, ignore it, mock it. Nothing good will come out of that as all can see.

I gave that Scripture to you. Let's keep it honest.

Catholics who NEED interpreters - your church knows you are void of the Spirit. And so are they.

Is you little quiz done?
