| Worlds Of Wisdom |
|
Being of a different realm, and of a different substance, there is a particular Language which is spoken in the spirit and that Language is the living, breathing, Language of God Himself. This wisdom cannot be known through the faculty of the senses, because it supersedes them. 1 CORINTHIANS 2:13
(KJV)
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
(Wand)
We deliver our sermons not in the terms of oratorical skill, but in language taught by the spirit, fitting a spiritual subject to a spiritual manner of approach…
(Jordan)
What I'm trying to say is that this instruction is not the result of education on the human level, but rather it comes from the spirits teachings; that is, we use spiritual insights to ascertain spiritual truths…
(TCNT)
In speaking, too, of these gifts, we do not use language suggested by human wisdom, but language suggested by the spirit, and so we explain spiritual things in spiritual words…
(Way)
Yes, it is of these high themes that I then discourse, not in the rhetoric of the schools, in terms of human philosophy; but in terms learnt in the spirit's school do I embody spiritual conceptions in spiritual language…
(Laubach)
We teach this to others, not in word's of human wisdom, but in words taught us by the spirit.. We explain the spirit's truths in the spirit's language…
"We explain the spirit's truths in the spirit's language"! Glory to God, the Word is communicated by the Spirit to us in the spirit! It is the divine way of communication. We don't have to worry about human levels of education and knowledge because all of God can only be explained by God. In and through God's own Spirit to our own spirit in the Divine Language of the Spirit. God has taken of the things which He has created in and through the spirit, applied them to us, in and through the same realm of spiritual comprehension in the school of the spirit of truth so now we can and do know Him. That is why the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God and the wisdom of God is foolishness to man. These two worlds of wisdom anre dyametrically opposed to each other and the twain shall never meet. Head knowledge vs. Spirit knowledge. Reason vs. Heart. Flesh vs. Spirit. As Galatians 5:17 (ESV) says: "For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do." Think about it. We start as soon as we are old enough to talk and some of us even before that. We start learning the ways of the world we are born into. Why? So we can function according to its rules, regulations and modes of operation. But these are not the ways of God and we can't know Him through these ways. The natural man cannot and doesn't have the ability to know God. |
