For Lack Of Godly Wisdom, People Are Destroyed

Last Updated : July 25, 2006


"But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and
destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand
not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;"
2 Peter 2:12, KJV

"But these speak evil of those things which they know not:
but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those
things they corrupt themselves."
Jude 1:10, KJV

The word 'brute' means to be destitute of reason in Greek.
In other words, because they lack the Spirit of God, and
must therefore rely upon their human wisdom, they view our
Christian beliefs as foolishness:

"In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of
them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious
gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto
them."
2 Corinthians 4:4, 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."
1 Corinthians 2:14, KJV

[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.] The fool hath
said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they
have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalms 14:1, KJV

If these people would only ask for the Wisdom of God's
Spirit:

"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth
to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be
given him."
James 1:5, KJV

But they are too proud, and too arrogant to do that; thus,
they will die in their ignorance:

"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou
hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou
shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law
of thy God, I will also forget thy children."
Hosea 4:6, KJV
