  • I Corinthians 2:7-3:5
  • I Corinthians 2:11 – This seems to be referring to the Holy Spirit because I Corinthians 2:12 talks about receiving this Spirit of God and we know the Holy Spirit was specifically sent to reveal God’s Word.
  • I Corinthians 2:14-15 – The “natural man” is a man that closes his mind to spiritual things and wants to direct his own steps. The spiritually-minded man discerns all things and cannot be judged by those who do not.
  • I Corinthians 3:2 – See Hebrews 5:12-14.
  • I Corinthians 3:3 – The Corinthians were not able to bear the strong meat of God’s Word because they were still losing their battle with fleshly lusts.

  • Suffering is the lot of mankind
    • God created man and woman in the Garden of Eden and gave them everything they needed.
  • Why is this?
    • Satan is the initial case of suffering – he told Even the lie and she sinned, and then Adam sinned as well. Thus they were separated from God.
    • Suffering is not God’s fault. God made it so suffering and death did not have to happen.
  • What is the remedy?
    • Spiritually?
      • Romans 5:12
      • Romans 1:4
      • Acts 2:9-11
      • Hebrews 7:25
      • Acts 2:36
      • Matthew 11:28
      • God has adequately reversed the reality of spiritual death. He has not reversed the reality of physical death.
    • Bodily?
      • I Corinthians 6:19-20
      • Romans 6:12
    • Mentally?
      • Keep your mind active in the things of Christ.
      • Philippians 4:8
      • Hebrews 5:12
