Some simple thoughts from scriptureWhat does 'natural man' mean I Cor 2: 14 in context and if he can't discern (understand) spiritual things, why? Because he is not 'born again'? So how can an unsaved man ever understand- left to himself?
What does John 3: 8 mean? What does v6 mean?
What does Romans 8:9 mean?
What does John 16: 8-14 mean?
What about I Corinthians 12:3?
Matthew 16: 16,17?
How can you call upon the Lord Jesus to save you 'but by the Holy Ghost'? Yet if you are not saved you have not the Holy Ghost?
How can you discern spiritiual things i.e. the gospel but by the Holy Ghost? What happens to the natural man FIRST so that he can believe?
If a blind man sees, a deaf man hears etc., (a dead man lives)-what happened to them first so that they could believe and seek the Lord Jesus for a miracle?
The same thing as Peter in Matthew 16: 15-17? If so then is such not the work of God alone John 6: 29 and 16:14? He receives ALL the glory?
Who convicts the sinner of sin? Why? Because you first sought Jesus or HE first sought you? How do you co-opperate as you can't believe Jesus is Lord without the Holy Spirit according to I Corinthians 12:3? Isn't the Spirit Sovereign verses 8-11 and John 3:8???
