Well yeah.1 Corinthians 2:14 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.

Oh it's God's fault people don't seek Him for the truth rather than trusting in themselves?Brilliant strategy. If someone does not agree with you blame God!

I’m inclined to agree. Unless one’s life is animated by the Holy Spirit, the Christian Bible will make little sense and cannot be accepted as being Divinely Inspired. However, where we would disagree is that not everyone who is inspired by the Holy Spirit will necessarily accept the Bible or consider it mandatory to do so.
yes, natural or in Greek soul vs spiritual (the next verse).1 Corinthians 2:14 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.
You would need to define ark. If you mean literally Noah’s Ark that survived a worldwide flood then this contradicts scientific knowledge. If you mean the story was an allegory to assist us to understand specific spiritual teachings then I agree.So are you an ark-believer?

Of course: Renounce all objections as "just not understanding" because those objections are rooted in not being filled with the spirit of god. It's nothing possibly wrong with what men have said god said, it's just they don't have the holy spook so they just can't get it.1 Corinthians 2:14 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.
Sounds like a dodge... " I understand Holy Scripture because God has granted me understanding, YOU don't understand because God hasn't given you understanding, therefore I can claim anything I like, and when it's illogical gibberish, I just condescendingly say God hasn't given you understanding "
Id agree that it might be a story with "spiritual teaching".
Or it might just be a story that never had any biblical
meaning but somehow got in there. Or or.
Our OP has not weighed in. Lots of others, most,
I would venture, who claim god-help think god told
them it was a world wide flood, real as rain.
Lots on this forum are dead set on just that.
All guided of god to that understanding.
How would you explain this?
It is a terrif killer gotcha.Of course: Renounce all objections as "just not understanding" because those objections are rooted in not being filled with the spirit of god.

Everyone is entitled to their beliefs including the Christians and ourselves. Many Christians don’t believe in taking all of Genesis literally as the scientific evidence that contradicts a young earth and a worldwide flood is overwhelming. If people want to ignore science that is their prerogative. In this modern era religion and science need to be in harmony. If religion insists on what science has categorically proved then that belief is mere superstition.
So you are obviously not a natural man.1 Corinthians 2:14 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.
