There is such a thing that is said to be called Spiritual Discernment, there is also such a thing that is said to be called the natural man. And I know there are a lot of different things that are said to be spiritual, but I'm talking about things spiritually discerned of the so called scriptures, which are allegedly given by inspiration of God.
1Cor 2 14 KJV But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them , because they are spiritually discerned.
2Tim 3 16 - 17 KJV All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
The question is, how does one know if an individual understands things spiritually discerned, or, if they are one of the natural man?
There are some that will argue there are no such things as things spiritually discerned, there are some that will argue they understand things spiritually discerned when actually they do not, also there are some that actually do have an understanding of things spiritually discerned. Which are you? And how do you know which individuals fit into which of the three categories?
Those that argue there are no such things as things spiritually discerned will argue with the same private interpretations of Religion, which aren't true, as those that argue they understand things spiritually discerned when actually they do not. Only one that does actually have an understanding of things spiritually discerned of Religion knows, with certainty, those that do understand things spiritually discerned from those that do not.
There are a thousand different ways to test any individual to know, with certainty, if they understand things spiritually discerned or not.
One that understands things spiritually discerned understands that in an animal sacrifice there are no actual animals involved, as what it's talking about is the animal nature in you.
In an individual coming to have an understanding of wisdom, an understanding of how to properly separate things they know from things they do not know, they will be able to overcome their flight and fight instinct, sacrificing the animal nature in them.
It is wise to properly separate
things you Know,
things you Do Not Know,
and Opinion.
It is to be a fool to mix them.
Only one that has an understanding of wisdom, is one with a true appreciation for life. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, that leadeth unto life, and few there be that find wisdom.
Know, Do Not Know, Opinion
Rom 1 22 - 23 KJV Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
1Cor 13 11 KJV When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
Ye Must Be Born Again
Non-tangibles such as knowledge, and truth, and logic are what certain of the ancients called spiritual things.
The spirit of truth and the spirit of error, in other words logic and fallacy.
To understand the scientific method without error is what it means to have the spirit without measure.
The righteousness of the law is fulfilled in us, who walk not after the stories people tell, but after the universally immutable objects of knowledge, and truth, and logic Discerned according to the scientific method.
Rom 8 4 KJV That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Those not true to the scientific method are spiritual drunkards, every single one of them.
Spiritual discernment, the understanding of the scientific method, is testable. Try every human, discern if they have a proper understanding of the scientific method or not. Do they properly separate things they know from things they do not know or not?
God caused the big bang(belief not required), his work is spacetime, the objective reality we all share where the uncertainty principle holds true. The table of the field to sup at with Christ is the periodic table. I am about my fathers' business, throughly furnished unto all good works. In righteousness do I judge and make my war. Books be damned.
Plato, Newton, Einstein, and Hawking, Hitchens, Dawkins, and Darwin, did all sup at the table with Christ all the days of their life.
Mat 7 13 - 14 KJV Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
