The real trick is to allow God the Holy Spirit to teach us what Scripture means as we breath it in, instead of us by habit of a scarred soul, reading our meaning into Scripture.
Amen and amen, double dittoes, etc. Spiritual things are only spiritually understood. I Corin. 2:14 (really all of ch. 2).
The carnal (natural) mind cannot understand the things of the spirit, and much error and many problems are the result of the natural mind attempting to understand and explain that which only comes by the Holy Spirit.
And, the necessity for spiritual revelation from God is throughout the NT and Paul’s teachings.....only if God opens our eyes can we see....and only if we know we are blind in and of ourselves, crying out in our hearts for “a spirit of wisdom and revelation in THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM” can we truly see....this was Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians....
