The Greeks believed in multipe gods when Paul reasoned with them.
More error on your part!
Think about what you just told me.
Paul was reasoning with who?
The greeks.
The Greeks were not guided by the Holy Spirit!
They did not have miraculous understanding coming directly from God.
Why then is Paul reasoning with them?
Paul reasoned with non-believers to get them to reason themselves.
That is the only way one comes to the truth.
Faith comes by hearing the gospel, Romans 10:17.
2Timothy 2:15 why must we work to rightly divide if God gives knowledge miraculously?
There would be no need to work at it. The apostles were given spiritual knowledge miraculously through the Holy Spirit.
THEY NEVER HAD TO STUDY! They never had to WORK, to know Gods truth!
Mankind does have to use the mind that God gave us, 2Timothy 2:15.
It seems that Paul spoke strongly against human logic. The greeks were the epitome of human logic and He said the gospel is foolishness to human wisdom!
The Greeks used the wisdom of the WORLD.
You are using a strawman argument against me!
I never said one uses the wisdom of the world to reason the scriptures.
I said reasoning is required when studying Gods word.
When a conclusion on any Bible subject does not make logical or rationale sense.
Like calvinism, it is error!
1Corinthians 1:22
For Jews request a sign and Greeks seek
after wisdom(worldly wisdom).
To know Gods word one must seek after Gods wisdom.
To do so one must use logical reasoning when examining the scriptures.
Proverbs 2:1-6
-for the Lord gives wisdom; From
His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
If calvinist's are correct, those not yet saved cannot understand Gods word.
Just the opposite is taught by God in His word.
The lost can understand with the mind God gave them.
Ephesians 3:4
Whereby when ye read, ye may
understand My knowledge in the mystery of Christ.
God demands we understand His word. That includes all that God has given a mind that can comprehend His gospel,
Ephesians 5:17
Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
If the lost cannot understand the Bible, then God expects those who are lost to do the impossible!
Calvinism is illogical nonsense.
I'm sure you believe there are retarded people who are elected.
Do they miraculously understand the scriptures?
No, they do not.
I have a down syndrome Uncle who is in heaven.
He never could understand the gospel.
Calvinism teaches understanding is given miraculously to Gods elect.
Find a mentally retarded person , that will have understanding like you and I can.
You will never find one!
That's because Godly wisdom of His word is not given miraculously.
It is given through hard work, 2Timothy 2:15.
"To be a follower of John Calvin one must throw away logic and embrace insanity"
Which is exactly what the religious crowd said about Jesus! He is mad and has a demon- why listen to Him!
Big difference between Jesus and John Calvin Sir.
Jesus was not illogical, He was mentally sound.
John Calvin was illogical.
Jesus always silenced anyone who challenged His wisdom.
John Calvin had no Godly wisdom. He was literally unstable in his thinking.
It seems that Paul spoke strongly against human logic. The greeks were the epitome of human logic and He said the gospel is foolishness to human wisdom!
I'm not endorsing human wisdom!
I'm endorsing Godly wisdom!
How do we get Godly wisdom?
Is it miraculously given before we hear the gospel like the calvinist's teach?
Or does it come by hearing the wisdom of God taught to us, then with the mind God gave us we reason whether it be true or false.
Romans 10:17
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
How does the Bible say we can come to know the wisdom of God?
Without using logic as the calvinist teach?
Romans 10:14
How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed?
And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?
And how shall they hear without a preacher?
No need of preachers to teach us Gods wisdom if we do not have the ability to reason/understand it.
No need for a preacher, if God directly gives you His wisdom through a miracle, as the calvinist teach.
Calvinism is unbiblical, irrational wisdom of men, not the wisdom of God.
