Absolutely..
But to be fair, comprehending your babble is no easy task..

Zemirah Loc: Sojourner En Route...

Hang in there, Canuckus,

In all fairness, have you ever encountered anything you couldn't explain to your own satisfaction?

Canuckus Deploracus Loc: North of the wall

Constantly...
It's frustrating at times...

Sorry... I had to change two words so you might comprehend it...

1 Corinthians 2:14
The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them babble (foolishness), and cannot comprehend (understand) them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.

I too gathered that. My take, to be as enlighten and know puts Parky in an exalted state of existence with the super power of discernment.

Needless to say, your comprehension sucks! You just proved what I posted. But I'll pray for you nonetheless.

Parky60 Loc: People's Republic of Illinois

I wouldn't expect you to comprehend what I posted. But I'll pray for you nonetheless.

You are far down the rabbit hole. What you say is muffled. Makes comprehension difficult.

Parky60 Loc: People's Republic of Illinois

Let me try to put what I posted in words you might understand...

People who do not have the Spirit of God indwelling in them do not accept biblical teachings, considering them babble and not comprehending what they teach because they are only understood if one is indwelt by the Spirit. You and canuckus are not indwelt by the Spirit therefore biblical teachings are considered foolishness to you.

RascalRiley Loc: Somewhere south of Detroit

Said he who believes he is enlighten.

Different reality.

Parky60 Loc: People's Republic of Illinois

Thank you for proving my point.

BTW... there is only ONE reality... and its author is Jesus Christ.

When Jesus commissioned His disciples to go forth and proclaim the kingdom of God, he bestowed upon them the Holy Spirit which gave them the power to heal the sick, the crippled and cast out demons.

So, if the Spirit of God is fully "indwelt" as you claim, wouldn't you have the power to heal the sick, the crippled, and cast out demons?

I think it is wrong to claim the Holy Spirit indwells in you then assume some kind of superiority over others by which you pass judgement. One virtue Jesus emphasized in His teachings is humility.

One of the ministries in which the Holy Spirit has in the life of the believer is known as the “indwelling.” From Scripture, we learn a number of important things about this ministry.

The Holy Spirit indwells the believer the moment that a person trusts Jesus Christ as their Savior. Indeed, a person cannot be a Christian without the Holy Spirit indwelling them. The Bible makes this clear.

Thus, all believers in Jesus Christ are indwelt by the Spirit of God. Indeed, there is no such thing as a Christian without the Holy Spirit.

Furthermore, the Lord has promised that the Spirit of God will dwell forever with believers. He will never leave those whom He indwells. He is forever with us.

Thus, this ministry of the Holy Spirit secures the relationship of the believer with the Lord. We can have confidence that God will be with us always through His Spirit who dwell inside of us.

While the Bible says this is what takes places, we cannot fully comprehend how this can be so. We believe these truths by faith.

There are actually three biblical lists of the “gifts of the Spirit,” also known as spiritual gifts. The three main passages describing the spiritual gifts are Romans 12:6–8; 1 Corinthians 12:4–11; and 1 Corinthians 12:28. We could also include Ephesians 4:11, but that is a list of offices within the church, not spiritual gifts, per se. The spiritual gifts identified in Romans 12:6-8 are:

• Prophesying
• Serving
• Teaching
• Encouraging
• Giving
• Leadership
• Mercy

The list in 1 Corinthians 12:4–11 includes:

• The word of wisdom
• The word of knowledge
• Faith
• Healing
• Miraculous powers
• Prophecy
• Distinguishing between spirits
• Speaking in tongues
• Interpretation of tongues

The list in 1 Corinthians 12:28 includes:

• Healings
• Helps
• Governments
• Diversities of tongues

I have exhibited many of these gifts though not all but am fully confident that any and all of them could be used in me if the need arose.


I was not assuming any type of superiority or passing judgment on anyone. I was merely pointing out – backed up by Scripture – that that a person that is not indwelt by the Holy cannot discern things of the Spirit such as the Holy Bible and to that person it is foolishness.
