The ways of man. From the Britannica,
*exegesis*, the critical interpretation of the biblical text to discover its
intended meaning. Both Jews and Christians have used various exegetical
methods throughout their history, and doctrinal and polemical intentions have
often influenced interpretive results; a given text may yield a number of
very different interpretations according to the exegetical presuppositions
and techniques applied to it. The study of these methodological principles
themselves constitutes the field of hermeneutics
(https://www.britannica.com/topic/hermeneutics-principles-of-biblical-
interpretation).
The ways of the Godly.
1Co 2:9-14 (KJV)
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have
entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them
that love him.
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth
all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is
in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is
of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth,
but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 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.
V13 encapsulates the fullness of understanding. Those that have problems with
walking in the spirit, have great difficulties in understanding the things of
God, because they are with not spiritual or Born Again in the first place, or
because they have been lead astray by others who also lack much spiritually
speaking. This is the reason one requires the renewing of the mind after
having been born again.
These people are easily recognized by their demanding exegesis, or solid
exegesis as determined and judged by man, as God has no bearing on the
matter. They are like clouds, without water. Being puffed up they recognize
not their own frailty.
“If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him
acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the
Lord.” (1Co 14:37, KJV)
