6 words

The 6 most important words in this passage are...

     "...we have the mind of Christ."

As His followers, He brings us so in line with Him, we start to think like He does.

Those 6 words disprove the 2nd half of verse 9.

For verse 9 says no one can understand.

But Paul says we CAN understand bc Jesus so redeems & changes us that we start to think like He does.

Just read it - you'll understand what I'm talking about...




I Corinthians 2

9 That is what the Scriptures mean when they say,

"No eye has seen, no ear has heard,

  and no mind has imagined

what God has prepared

  for those who love him."


  10 But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit.

         For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God's deep secrets.

11 No one can know a person's thoughts except that person's own spirit,

       and no one can know God's thoughts except God's own Spirit.


12 And we have received God's Spirit (not the world's spirit),

        so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us.


  13 When we tell you these things, we do not use words that come from human wisdom.

        Instead, we speak words given to us by the Spirit,

       using the Spirit's words to explain spiritual truths.


14 But people who aren't spiritual can't receive these truths from God's Spirit.

        It all sounds foolish to them and they can't understand it,

        for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means.


15 Those who are spiritual can evaluate all things,

        but they themselves cannot be evaluated by others.


16 For,

"Who can know the LORD's thoughts?

  Who knows enough to teach him?"


But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ.
