Your heretical interpretation. One of 35,000. What am I saying, one of millions.

35,000 = 666

“Your heretical interpretation.”


You mean the interpretation acknowledged by every Christian denomination, including the Papists (except the ignorant ones on FR). Unless you are born from above, spiritually regenerated, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.

Of course, we differ on how that happens. You think it was done in baptism. We think it was done by the Holy Spirit independent of baptism.

You will never understand spiritual truths with a natural mind. Of course it would seem like nonsense to someone without the Spirit.

1 Corinthians 2:10-16 For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. For 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. Now 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. And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.

The 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. The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
