We use the words taught by the Spirit to explain spiritual truths.The person without the Spirit doesn’t accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. These things are foolish to them. They can’t understand them. In fact, such things can’t be understood without the Spirit’s help.The person who has the Spirit can judge all things.
