It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life. - John 6:63
Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye cannot hear my word. – John 8:43
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned. - I Corinthians 2:14
For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it. - Isaiah 55:10-11
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. – Romans 8:1-9
” Not everyone can perceive the difference between the words of God and the words of men.”
I take it you can? :)
Why do you suppose +John’s gospel is called the “Holy Good News according to John”? and not as I had otherwise proposed. A plot of those Roman Catholics established by Constantine the Great? Why not perhaps called something along the lines of “Holy Good News according to John which The Church understands one way but which those of you who are self defined as the elect or God’s sheep will know is actually God’s very words taken down by his secretary +John for you alone, well maybe along with Calvin et al, to really, honest to goodness understand and not for mega sinners like +John Chrysostomos or +Gregory Palamas let alone the common run of sinners who humble themselves in churches and monasteries to understand?
