THE NATURAL MAN CAN NEVER INTERPRET/UNDERSTAND SPIRITUAL THINGS But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 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. 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. Which things also we speak, not in the words which mans wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 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 (2 Cor 2:10-14) Dearly beloved, the truth/revelation of scripture cannot come to anyone through much study; no matter how extensive it may be. The truth of scripture MUST ONLY COME through revelation via the Holy Spirit. The greatest disservice to the Word of God throughout the years have not been the so called tampering of the scriptures, but rather, the natural mans attempts to interpret them. This is the foolishness the Lord has warned us about being drawn into. If one wants to know the truth of the scriptures, they must first humble themselves to the Author and Interpreter of Scripture. The eternal Word is such that those who know not the Author will never truly understand His Book. The natural man trying to interpret spiritual things is like an animal trying to read a book and then teach a class about what they read. You dont need a degree, you dont need a title, all you need is the Holy Spirit and a humble heart. Its the meek that the Lord has promised to beautify with salvation; but the proud, dwells in dry places.
