Let us Learn to distinguish between things that Differ, Phil 1:10 Literal Translation
Discernment
Discernment
And this I pray, that your love may yet abound more and more in (full knowledge-#1922=Epignosis) and all perception, for you to distinguish the things that differ, that you may be sincere and without blame for the day of Christ,
Philippians 1:9-10 Literal Version of Philippian 1:10
It takes time and effort, commitment, to understand what is being communicated at a Deeper Level in Scripture. If you are being Drawn to understanding at a Deeper Level maybe you can pick up some help from my 40+ years of commitment to Learning. In Ezekiel 47:1 - 7 there is a pictorial description of of measured-levels, from water to the ankles to waters to swim in. We know that water can represent the Word, so waters to swim in may indicate that the Word now has you. In-Joy your time here at the beach! Marion D. Williams
1 Co 2:13 And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual, English Standard Version.

Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual (people). Strong's Greek word #4152 = pneumatikós translated 'spiritual' means in this context discussing Spiritual topics with Spiritually-minded folk, 1 Corinthians 2:13 KJV
I like to use the term "folk" or people in place of "man" where appropriate because they are not gender-specific. The KJV translates Strong's #G444 antropos as man even though it represents mankind:

The Greek word translated "discerned" is Strong’s #350 αanakrinō Pronounced: an-ak-ree'-no is derived from G303 and G2919; properly to scrutinize, that is, (by implication) investigate, interrogate, determine: - ask, question, discern, examine, judge, search.
In other words, Disciplined study. Correlate Mark 4:23-25 AMPLIFIED Translation- Then He said to them, "Pay attention to what you hear. By your own standard of measurement [that is, to the extent that you study spiritual truth and apply godly wisdom] it will be measured to you [and you will be given even greater ability to respond]--and more will be given to you besides. For whoever has [a teachable heart], to him more [understanding] will be given; and whoever does not have [a yearning for truth], even what he has will be taken away from him."
Mat 13:12 For whoever has [spiritual wisdom because he is receptive to God's word], to him more will be given, and he will be richly and abundantly supplied; but whoever does not have [spiritual wisdom because he has devalued God's word], even what he has will be taken away from him.
Mat 25:29 "For to everyone who has [and values his blessings and gifts from God, and has used them wisely], more will be given, and [he will be richly supplied so that] he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have [because he has ignored or disregarded his blessings and gifts from God], even what he does have will be taken away.
Luk 8:18 So be careful how you listen; for whoever has [a teachable heart], to him more [understanding] will be given; and whoever does not have [a longing for truth], even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him."
Luk 19:26 [Jesus explained,] 'I tell you that to everyone who has [because he valued his gifts from God and has used them wisely], more will be given; but from the one who does not have [because he disregarded his gifts from God], even what he has will be taken away.

Not familiar with Strong's Concordance?
The Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible,[n 1] generally known as Strong's Concordance, is a Bible concordance, an index of every word in the King James Version (KJV), constructed under the direction of American theologian James Strong. Strong first published his Concordance in 1890, while professor of exegetical theology at Drew Theological Seminary.
Strong's Concordance provides an index to the Bible. This allows the reader to find words where they appear in the Bible. It also lets the reader directly compare how the same word may be used elsewhere in the Bible.

EVERGREEN Bible Study Principles
EVERGREEN Bible Study Principles
Evergreen Study Principle # 1) Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the [Word-#3056=Logos] of Truth, 2 Timothy 2:15 AMPC+.
Evergreen Study Principle # 2)...for you to [Learn to] distinguish the things that differ, that you may be sincere and without blame for the day of Christ, (Philippians 1:10 LITV)
And it came to pass, as they were conversing and reasoning together, that, Jesus himself, drawing near, was journeying with them; (Luke 24:15 Rotherham)
Here is my point, it was Jesus the Cornerstone, that was Speaking to the Disciples on Emmaus. Jesus incarnated as our Pattern. Although Jesus was Discipled by Christ, and it was Christ in Jesus that was His hope of Glorification, just as in us, SEE Colossians 1:27, 1 Cor 12:12.
(NOTE: I put green around Jesus since He came to give us Age-abiding Zoe (Eternal Life) , which is Living and Evergreen. Age-abiding, from incarnation to incarnation.)
I see you copied and pasted a few scripts together with some stray thots, still a Mixture without any degree of understanding and discernment . Which means Error in Doctrine.
What I am doing here is attempting to help you Heal of this habit of what I see after all this time invested with you as "sloppy and lazy learning".
Remember, the word translated heal includes: Thayer Definition: G2390 iaomai
1) to cure, heal
2) to make whole
Evergreen Principles will continue to serve you. They never go out of season.
I am glad to continue to help you as long as you are willing to put in the serous work and take our time together seriously.
