FUTILITY: TRYING TO UNDERSTAND SCRIPTURE BY HUMAN INTELLECT

Many try to understand Scripture by the fleshly power of the human intellect. If they lean on preconceived ideas, doctrines, theological training, Bible commentaries, or marginal notes rather than Christ, those act as “old wineskins” that burst under the pressure of the “new wine” flowing from God’s throne. The fleshly nature acts as a veil to blind them and dull their hearing.

“But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart” (2 Corinthians 3:16-18).

When they read Scripture, they only see the theology they’ve been taught. The fleshly veil makes it impossible for them to hear God’s voice. We need to turn our attention to Jesus and listen closely to His voice.

“Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Corinthians 3:16-18).

The word they translated as “open” is literally “unveiled,” and the word they translated as “changed” is literally “transfigured.”
