I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, I'm glad the gospel, Jesus came to die in the place of sinners, and I'm a sinner, is a lot easier to get my head around what you just posted. I don't need my intellectual powers healed or strengthened, I need a saviour.Faith and reason are not mutually exclusive. Each help to guide the other. Indeed, one who refuses to know God will have an intellect which is darkened to the reality of both God and of himself.
God alone can rid us of the pride and passions which cloud our ability to perceive truth. By his grace our intellectual powers, darkened by original and personal sin, can be healed and strengthened.
