Interplanetary is fairly intelligent, however, lacks the ability to grasp the truth of the Scriptures, do to the fact he's unable to "Rightly Divide" the Scriptures and therefore remains in ignorance. Another poor soul.
There are plenty of people in the world who's intelect has been stymied by the system of perception they have bought into too soon.
They become experts not only at being wrong, but at being oblivious to the fact that they are actually clueless that they are wrong.
The system of looking at a thing they have bought into has become their sense of reality.
This is very similar to when one is looking for a passage in a chapter in Scripture one "just know is in THIS chapter" cannot find it; tries again...and again...only to realize one has been looking either in the wrong chapter, if not, in the wrong book of Scripture :chuckle:
Prior to said realization one has a sense that one "just knows the passage is in here - it just has to be..."
In such moments, one's sense of perception has been momentarily sabotaged by what is actually one's momentary criteria for determining "how to know I am looking in the right place to begin with."
Seminary and books based experts like Interplanner - they never have that moment of realization that they are looking at a thing based on a set of criteria that is off.
Worse; they take great issue with having this kind of thing pointed out to them.
It so becomes a part of their sense of "being faithful" and of who they are.
You do not often find such have much of a sense of humor about themselves :chuckle:
The very quality we need during such "embarresing" moments if we hope to get ourselves back to looking at a thing objectively; these types tend to have in very short supply.
One cannot hope to get through to such; one can only try - for "they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise."
It is, what it is.
:chuckle:
