Understanding the Spiritual Blindness of the Natural Man in Corinthians
The natural man, devoid of spiritual discernment, finds the things of the Spirit foolish and incomprehensible. Without illumination from the Holy Spirit, they cannot grasp the depths of God's Word. This spiritual blindness leads to the rejection of the message of salvation through Christ, perceived as foolishness by worldly wisdom. The necessity of the Holy Spirit's work in revealing Scripture for the understanding of God's mind is emphasized through various biblical references, highlighting the contrast between human folly and divine wisdom.
