Wow, what a scholarly response. “Scripture says that spiritually dead people cannot comprehend scriptural truth - this is why those people did not understand the Lord in myriad places in the Bible.” Perhaps that applies to you?
Scholarly? Maybe. Scriptural? Certainly:
1 Cor 2:
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 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 can’t help it if the RCC interprets Scripture is such a wooden fashion, without understanding.
