It is an observation from what you post on here, nothing more. You are always asking for proof for the carnal mind, rather than testing the spirits to see if they are of God.... (1 John 4:1-6).

This is a reference to the letter to the Laodiceans (Revelation 3:14-21) It is more like the manna of the Spirit, versus the carnal meat of Man, where deception comes from "let no man deceive you", "I am of Paul, I am of Apollus.... are ye yet not carnal" (1 Corinthians 3:1-4), "doctrines and...

the difference is the Good ground that is able to receive the teaching of the Holy Ghost versus the hardened heart and mind that is unable to do so. This is the meaning of 1 Corinthians 2:15 when you understand it right.

I Lived for twenty years being self deceived and not growing Spiritually, It can happen to any of us. My mind was complacent thinking I have all i need. That is twenty year of not digesting the Spiritual meat, and just suckling on the doctrine that tells you that you need nothing.... but we need...

I Am pulling the "conversation" back on topic, Milk to meat, what it is that prevents this, and when we finally move from milk to meat.

Luke 18:9-14 indeed....

Yup, That is the root of the problem. self deception, The Laodicean problem. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked (Revelation 3:17)

That your mind is unable to grasp what the Spirit is saying to the churches....that reliance on your intellect is the root of self deception.

Now quoting scripture is a cop out? Before you used to complain that I did not quote scripture.... Here's a clue, the scripture points directly to your response and is a comment unto itself.

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. 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...

If You watch the first 15-20 minutes of the video you would get the gist of the sermon, instead of speculating and questioning.... But alas you do not like videos so I will not press this point further. Suffice it to say this is refreshing to hear from fundamentalists.... the being taught by...
