What this memes says is especially true for study of the Bible. Some say you can't study it, that God just has to 'show' it to you. Au contraire; [ www.yourdictionary.com/au-contraire]...Paul admonishes all men (see Acts 17:30/KJB) to do so. What I think gets fouled up is people thinking they can treat it just any other book or novel. Meaning an unsaved man who picks it up with an intent to disbelieve it will get his or her wish. Read with a believing attitude of the heart is another matter, altogether. God can work with that, But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: [1 Corinthians 2:14a]...that's where the spirit of God (or lack of) comes into play. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Acts 17:30 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15 [written by our apostle, Paul of Tarsus.]
