And when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for Him according to the custom of the law, 28 he took Him up in his arms and blessed God... 34 Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother, “Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign [G4592] say-me-on which will be spoken against 35 (yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. The thoughts of every heart are revealed by the words spoken for or against the Messiah. Furthermore, judgment will be based on every Word that He has spoken. John 12:8 He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him— the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.

Justified by words, and the treasure of our heart Matthew 12:35-37 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thoughts of every heart are revealed by the words spoken for or against the Messiah. Furthermore, judgment will be based on every Word that He has spoken. Romans 12:8-10 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. To Confess Christ [G3670] homologeo To speak the same words, to establish an agreement, to declare openly When we speak for Christ, we speak as Christ, and others hear His Words, by which we are justified. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. 22 For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; 23 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

Those are characteristics of someone who is disciplined and educated in what and why he believed. Being ignorance of the bible, lax in attending church does not lead to being Spiritual.
