Jude 1:10 warns against interpreting spiritual truths based on human instinct:
Jude 1:10
But these people blaspheme all that they do not understand, and they are destroyed by all that they, like unreasoning animals, understand instinctively.
1 Corinthians 2:12-14 emphasizes the importance of seeking a spiritual understanding of Scripture, guided by the Holy Spirit, rather than relying on human instinct ( Jude 10) or wisdom. |
