Featured "New Age" or Spiritual

That brings up two thoughts.

1. We had an EMS call one night in our county that came in as "patient stating his house is full of demons". I can't speak for my other brothers in my department, but I approached that call as very likely a case of mental problems, but I left the door open in my mind for it to actually be otherworldly, even though I figured that was unlikely. I don't think demons operate nowadays as they did in ancient times, although they're just as active in other ways.

I think that fits in your idea of two extremes. The spiritual denier would not even have the possibility that the call would be true and the objective truth denier would see demons everywhere.

2. Depending on what you mean by objective truth, it may need to be denied. If we think of what the source for all truth is, it's God. And we know God and His Truth through His Holy Word. Things that science claims are true, yet don't fit into God's Word can't be true as you can't have two opposing truths. A flashlight can't be on and off at the same time. It must be either/or. Evolution is a good example of that.

We can see cases where finches are similar and likely have specialized over the last couple thousand years, so we can believe that as objective truth because it fits in God's Word. But we can't believe the Darwinian idea of the changing of kinds as the Bible clearly states that God made all species, and the Earth isn't that old.

In other words, objective truth is downstream from the Bible. Everything claimed as truth must be filtered by God's Word. A scientist's idea of objective truth would not match God's idea of objective truth.

 

First, there is very little in your threads that is obvious. In the other thread, I gave you opportunities to share scripture and you didn't.
So, in that light, thank you for sharing scripture.
Upon reading your use of the term "spiritual" I still don't see you using it in the same meaning that Paul does. You seem to use it as though it were mystical (which is what the new age does [and this group has not died out by any means]), but Paul is not speaking mystical spiritism at all.

1 Corinthians 2:11-16
No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit. And we have received God’s Spirit (not the world’s spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us. When we tell you these things, we do not use words that come from human wisdom. Instead, we speak words given to us by the Spirit, using the Spirit’s words to explain spiritual truths. But people who aren’t spiritual can’t receive these truths from God’s Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can’t understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means. Those who are spiritual can evaluate all things, but they themselves cannot be evaluated by others. For, “Who can know the Lord’s thoughts? Who knows enough to teach him?” But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ.

 

Jon, you didn't. And now you have created a thread to double down.
Jon, you can play your games with others. I have said what I needed to say. I won't get into your game playing.

 

LOL. This resembles little if anything to the post of which you refer.

No, your first post was saying that there was a higher and more authoritative truth than biblical truth. That one can have 'poor theology' yet be in possession of this higher truth, that is manifest in civility and morality.

 

Anyone care to exegete the passage? I receive my understanding from what scripture actually says.

1 Corinthians 2:6-16

Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”— these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. 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.

Who is the "we" and "us" in this passage?

How is the mind of Christ imparted?

Let the text speak for itself.

 

Exegete 1 Corinthians 2:6-16.

 

Not as denial of such, but a rejection of Word of faith, modern day Apostles and Prophets, and other aberrant teachings concerning supernatural in the church!

 

new Age alive and well in many charismatic churches today

 

Basically it seems to be any theology and doctrines that Jon C agrees with!

 

No, we all agree with Pauline Justification of the NT, do you?

 

It is new age, as they basically teach that we are like gods!

 

If you examine the links, he does not understand Adam, pre fall or post fall.

Just read what he believes. Adam had no spirit, just flesh.

JonC actually posted this.

I am trying to post, JonC is now saying I said this...when it is a direct quote from JonC.lol
When I go to answer. it does not allow me to, it says I have insufficient privledges to post here.??
