The Bible says things that you cannot understand without God showing you - this is why He lives inside regenerated believers (reborn) as Spirit, to open our minds to His. Only He knows what He is thinking, just as each of us cannot understand each other's thoughts. Verse 14 below even tells us that those outside of Christ are unable to know what God says. It is all foolishness to those who are blind. We have to have God living in us to know. There are people in church who do not understand anything in the Bible, and they need to know and admit their sin, turn from it, and come to faith in Christ to be born anew to understand all God has for them...
1 Corinthians 2:9-14
But as it is written: “ Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” 10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. 13 These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
