Axe Elf
Prophet
My love of this Bible verse came up today in another thread. It is certainly one of my favorite verses of all time, if not my most favorite--and I think it applies across religions, even those that may not necessarily recognize a deity in the traditional sense. I would very much be interested to hear how it resonates with everyone else.
"But the spiritual man tries all things [he examines, investigates, inquires into, questions, and discerns all things], yet is himself to be put on trial and judged by no one [he can read the meaning of everything, but no one can properly discern or appraise or get an insight into him]." --1 Corinthians 2:15 (Amplified Bible)
I don't want to say too much about it myself, at this point, but I do want to make it clear that I don't think that it literally means to "try" everything, like heroin and bestiality and whatever else--but to put everything on trial, evaluate everything for yourself.
I'm listening...
