flesh vs the spirit?

Question

Why is it that people seek spiritual understanding then try to mock Jesus because they are trying to understand his spiritual teachings with a mind of flesh not of spirit, get frustrated and try to dismiss the whole idea with some foolish judgement.

Answer 1

Because:
1. they are Blinded by satan, from birth
2. they are Human Beings with a freewill

Answer 2

Are you asking a question or delivering a thinly veiled judgment or making some observation.

But, giving you the benefit of the doubt, read the parables of the sower and the seeds. One talks about different ground on which the seed falls. Another talks about enemies sowing weeds among the seeds. Those explanations do it.

Answer 3

I don't think anyone (even the most cynical christian hater) is trying to mock jesus's teachings. They are some great morals to be had in the bible. We are just saying there is no real jesus. It's like there's great moral lessons to be had in some TV Shows or Movies. But I wouldn't try to base my life off of any of them.

Answer 4

They don't understand the mind of God, or the spiritual rebirth that brings us into fellowship with God
They think they can understand it with a carnal mind or a flesh mind and that will never happen

Answer 5

"The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it". John 1:5

Not all,but many are not here to seek spiritual enlightenment,but rather are here in an attempt to distinguish the flickering light that is still visible.

Flesh and spirit are one and the same, my dear. You're a self-aware projection of your own neurotransmitters.
