The burden of wisdom/enlightenment, being good is too hard!

RE: The burden of wisdom/enlightenment, being good is too hard!
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. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 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. 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. Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 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 2:9-14 / I enjoy reading your threads, because at times you reach the very limit of worldly reasoning. ps: dont let the foolishness of "christiandom" put you off reading the Epistles of Paul the Apotle, as they are packed full of pearls of sound reasoning, be they in or out of their framework.
