You really need to study what Paul was stating here, as his point was that those who are still lost/unsaved have NO way to discern and understanding the spiritual intent/meaning of the scriptures, as that can only happen to those who have now been saved!
God stated that we were all saved due to the will of God, and not due to our will, as the dead in sin natures have no ability to jsut will themselves to being saved now.
Paul states that ONLY those who possess the Holy Spirit will be able to receive and understanding the meaning of the scriptures
God intended the death of Jesus to be a full atonement /provision for ONLY the elect in Christ, chosen out beforehand based upon God choosing them, not them choosing Him
Utterly false claims with no scripture for support.
No one said the lost can will themselves into salvation, the opposite was said, they cannot will themselves into salvation. (Romans 9:16) So a claim based on misrepresentation.
No verse says only the indwelt can understand the meaning of scripture, the opposite was said "scripture will lead to Christ. Galatians 3:24
God chooses individuals for salvation through faith in the truth, 2 Thessalonians 2:13.
The Reformed Baptists strive to change the subject from their unbiblical views, but His truth is marching on.
You MUST have a different version, as mine and everyone else here states that Paul told us that ONLY the saved can understand the scriptures and from the Lord!
The natural MAN CANNOT receive jesus, nor the Gospel, apart from the enabling work of the Holy Spirit! If HE does not wake the sinner up, they will all stay dead in sins!
