The spiritually dead CANNOT get it. Not for want of trying even. They are simply unable to get it. Unequipped. All that is seen is paradox and inconsistancy and so it is declared subjectively to little more than 'foolishness'

Whilst approaching the Bible with a particular preconception might well corrupt your study, the alternative chosen would only be appropriate if the Bible was something that should or could be approached like any other text.
