07/21/19 WE ARE LIMITED

1- If a man knows only what he learned from ONE OF HIS FIVE SENSES, he would be limited, regardless of intellectual astuteness.

This is 1 of 9 short posts addressing the limitation of human knowledge (understanding, wisdom). I composed these 9 posts because Liberalism, Humanism, Naturalism, Scientism precludes the possibility and fact of the "supernatural," spiritual realm. I start with the most obvious argument and move to my premise that knowledge in the natural realm does not include truths in the spiritual realm. The most intelligent of people are totally ignorant of the spiritual world until they become saved.

2- If a man knows only what he learned from ALL OF HIS FIVES SENSES, he would be limited, regardless of intellectual astuteness.

3- If a man knows only what he learned from EXPERIENCE and EDUCATION he would be limited, regardless of intellectual astuteness.

4- If a man knows only what he learned from ALL HUMAN DISCOVERY, he would be limited, regardless of intellectual astuteness.

5- If a man knows only what is NATURALLY COMPREHENDED, he would be limited, regardless of intellectual astuteness.

6- If a man DENIES GOD, he is A FOOL, regardless of intellectual astuteness.

7- A man must claim to know ALL ABOUT ALL, ALL THE TIME (unlimited knowledge), in order to deny the existence of God.

8- We are psycho/physical totalities (body, soul, spirit; natural and spiritual). FULL KNOWLEDGE INCLUDES SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE (God).

9- The NATURAL MAN does not understand, comprehend, accept the revelation of God.
TRUE KNOWLEDGE REQUIRES SALVATION.

GOD SAYS...
1 Corinthians 2:6-16
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 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.
12 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.
13 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.
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.
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
