Which of course, would be why it was said that the carnal mind is enmity, or G-d's enemy. Seeing how He has no flesh and blood enemies, it would seem that your carnal mind is a principality. But don't take my word for it, READ THE WORD for it. Peace
So when Jesus went around putting folk in to a sound mind, how would you describe that sound mind? let me guess you can't just like you cannot describe the characteristics of the Spirit. We know from your bible that when Jesus put folk into a sound frame of mind they wanted to follow the way.
So? Either you come into agreement with His Word or you can chuck it all, because if you can't be faithful with little, He can't trust you with a lot. With agreement, there is covenant, with covenant there is revelation, because union produces new life, the life of the Spirit.
Man thinks life is the absence of death, and it is, but His life is Spirit AND truth, and thus they that worship Him worship Him in Spirit AND truth. Not Spirit alone, and not truth alone, because Spirit is wine and truth is bread/Word and He told us to partake of them often. True communion is the eating of the bread and the wine with the light of the candlestick, and this is the covenant that produces new life, revelation. Peace
Then why do you follow another mind steeped in carnal ignorance and barbaric beliefs. The things you believe about God are NOT compatible with the "mind of Christ."

You ACTUALLY think what you said in the bold is something Jesus would say?????? You truly haven't a clue what the "mind of Christ" (and therefore the mind of God) is all about!!!Tragic!

You think slaughtering infants and sucklings (the innocent) is reasonable?

Is your reading comprehension really that bad, or you just tired? Read it again.... I'll give you the benefit of the doubt this time. Peace

It boggles the mind, Jer. It is truly an enigma!

No benefit of doubt needed. Your views are truly out-there and spiritually indefensible under a God who IS agape love. Truly tragic.
You don't know me, and more importantly IF you knew HIM, and weren't all just content to be bitter runaways from some secular Spirit-less Christianity that failed explaining the first step ie. being born from above (and now you're all bitter about it because you found out they lied to you about some things: no shock there, the carnal mind is a liar), perhaps then you too would be able to hear me as others that read this board do.
Don't allow what they deprived you of, color the rest of your life. Find HIM, not some head knowledge of him like the devils that believe and tremble, and EXPERIENCE what it is to walk in the SPIRIT for real, to be taught of HIM FOR REAL, to hear HIM FOR REAL, and you won't worry about how much "broader Scriptural knowledge" you can cram in that won't be worth it's weight in the iron chains it will bind your Spirit with.
Because NONE OF IT, unless the Spirit quickened it to the ones that received it, will profit you one iota, except to further puff up your rebellious carnal ass natures that bray at every step in the path. Peace
You have called people "bugs" to God. But the Word you say you know, calls us His children.
I never knew real spiritual joy until I fled the confines of fundamentalism. Again, you praise stupidity in the name of God, rejecting the Proverb:
Quote:
The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.
Prov. 4:7
But I am here because God has asked me to keep appealing to you despite your hate for those who encourage you to find WISDOM about all that Scripture.

Well, let's see now. What does the Word say. Oh, I know. Repent and be baptized in water AND the Spirit. The Spirit and the washing of the water of the WORD will renew your mind. It actually intends to replace it completely, but that's another topic. Now since the disciples only had the Tanach to renew their mind with in conjunction with the Spirit, wonder how that worked? Maybe like water coming out of a Rock? Surely not... Peace

Not surprisingly since you didn't even understand what I said. Peace

Once again, just in time to twist my words. Never fails. What else can the serpent nature do, I suppose.
As for Prov. 4:7, you don't even know what the depth of it means; go study and come back and tell me.
I doubt that, since....
A) I don't hate anyone, and B) wisdom has not been hidden from me. She's hidden from the mockers and scorners of every generation. Peace
