Summary :-

1 Corinthians 2:14-15
[14] But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. [15] But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. …

The covenant that we are in are call the “new” covenant”. We are in “better” days
Paul and Apostles are ministers of the new covenant
Laws on stones vs Laws on hearts
Letter Vs Spirit
Fading glory vs permanent glory
External vs internal

To whom is it written? 1 Cor. 1:7; 3:6

The contrast is not between believers and unbelievers
It is between:
Mature believers and infants in Christ (2:6; 3:1)
Spiritual believers and carnal believers (3:1)
Spiritual believers and believers who act like they do not have the Spirit (2:14, 15)

Problem is there is no GROWTH (3:6, 7)

Mature/Spiritual makes right judgements; right judgements about all things...

Spiritual man is not subject to any man’s judgement, meaning, the world will not be able to make right judgements about a spiritual man. That’s why Paul says, “I care very little if I am judged by you” 1 Cor 4:3

When we are transformed, we think like God because we have the mind of Christ (2:16), we have access to the deeper things of God (2:10)

Pastor, You expound the word so aptly. I am touched..so powerful..knowing my Jesus with more clarity.God bless you

[rajkumarray]

I am so glad to hear this sermon.... Glory to God.... God bless you sir...

[vijinvijila]

Very good . Rare people will accept it. Paul accepted by sacrificing all he has just the sake of knowing Jesus more.
I too... Thanks

Many pastors started out preaching truth but as their followers increases they transformed themselves into their true self. That is:
Profiteering from the words of God.
Examples are merchandising books of their own thought or shall we say philosophy, even into selling anointing oil, entertainments etc.
Even able to charm female followers with words of God for their own bodily pleasure.
They are able to do all these things because a huge numbers of Christian are actually idolaters, - 2Cor11:14 - And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
:15 - It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their actions.
Beware of idols in the flesh.
