Education, experience, intelligence etc. increases understanding as the Holy Spirit can reveal more. The more a person has, more will be given. We all start with milk but we hopefully don't stay there or churn our milk into cheese and pretend we're eating meat.   All our great theologians were/are extremely intelligent: Luther, Calvin, Packer, Stott, Grudem. Intelligence and wisdom are 2 different things but a Christian can ask for wisdom and he can be gifted with wisdom by the Spirit. An intelligent Christian with wisdom can be taught and such a person would be used mightily by the Spirit. Paul is an example of such a person.

Terry The “intelligence” that matter to God is the kind that comes from believing His Word.  This cannot be learned at the Blind Guides Cemetery.  Izzy
