Level of education is not necessarily a true measure of intelligence

YOU SAID IT. The Holy Spirit is the Revealer and the Education IN ME.
When out the HOLY SPIRIT giving you Eternal Life, you are still spiritually dead.
John 14:16 {NET2} Then I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you forever –
John 14:17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, because it does not see him or know him. But you know him, because he resides with you and will be in you.
John 14:18 “I will not abandon you as orphans, I will come to you.
John 14:26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and will cause you to remember everything I said to you.
Yes, I used a different tool on my Lap Top, to research this. It is called "theWORD" and it is from England, and yes it has the KJV too, her is the list of their FREE BIBLES:
ASV, BBE, ESV2011, HCSB, ISV, KJV, NET2, UKJV, WEB, YLT, and a lot of others, that I never heard of, and some New Testaments. And quite a few are in Foreign Languages, even in Chinese. YES THEY ARE ALL FREE, and the only one I had to buy is NASB77, and it cost me $14.95. Not all of their versions are in Red Letter editions, some what of a disappointment.
There's not a really good way, anyhow. We can give people tests but who decides a person who doesn't test well is unintelligent? I do well on tests but I'm dumb.
Maybe a bigger problem is defining intelligence tho. Because a person isn't necessarily less intelligent just because they don't do as well with certain kinds of logic puzzles.

You are speaking my language this time ...lol and there is math involved too.
For certain, there are many assumptions behind the Bell curve.
Having administered many standardized tests over the years, certainly I have seen some very smart people not do well with standardized tests, processing speed is typically one reason.
It is often not realized that people deemed within that gifted range of 98th percentile and higher, quite often struggle in life and in school, but I have not looked at the stats lately. It is actually quite sad.

I agree we have an internal Battle going on between our Human Spiritual Mind in the Heart, and the human fleshly mind that lies between our Ears. BUT I ASKED you to define what is IMPUTED Righteousness of CHRIST ? ? ? By the way, we define any work done out of the WRONG MOTIVE, and the only RIGHT MOTIVE is Agapê LOVE for GOD. (Some Bibles pronounce that word Agapē, which means the same, the Ultimate form of Godly LOVE, generated in the born again HEART.)
I have had that experience too, THEY think we believe we can Sin all we want, WHICH IS ONLY IN THE FALSE INFORMATION, that they have been taught. You try to correct them and teach what we REALLY believe, and they turn a totally deaf ear, and continue to spout there False Information. I have tried on numerous occasions to correct them, that we BELIEVE, Obedience is not part of SALVATION, but it is Part of AGAPE LOVE, after you are SAVED. Agape Love, in John 14:15, and 1 John 5:3 proves that, but they do not want to hear the TRUTH. I think the really like putting us down.
