I happen to enjoy my “high IQ”, especially when reading God’s Word.  I’d recommend it to anyone. J Just be sure not to let it get dumbed down by the School of Higher Unbelief.  Izzy   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Caroline Wong Sent: Saturday, April 16, 2005 2:28 PM To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Re [Truth Talk] Saved -- Salvation -- and the pigpen   So what of people born with very high IQs. Is that God's will? Does He want them to use it or deny it? Is it something that should be checked at the door when they walk into the church? Can it only be used in the secular world?   Love,   Caroline ----- Original Message ----- From: ShieldsFamily To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: Saturday, April 16, 2005 11:49 AM Subject: RE: [TruthTalk] Re [Truth Talk] Saved -- Salvation -- and the pigpen   Caroline Wong wrote: The barrier to understanding is not education but whether the person is informed by the Holy Spirit or not while reading. 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.
