Nice judgement, there. What makes your questions special?Because you are not spiritual. By this everyone will understand who is spiritual. If the questions seems "weird" to them, they are far from spirituality and will never achieve it!
How does one know whether one is spiritual --because your questions are spiritually derived?And stop spam the thread with "uh" "ah" "i am lost" "what i am, i just wonder, pls tell me?" ... answer only if you are spiritual!
I suppose you are referring, as I was, to: 1 Corinthians 2:14: "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."Language barrier?
Ha! Even Christ wasn't exactly Monk like, I think.spir·it·u·al
/ˈspiriCH(o͞o)əl/
adjective
I think most of us would fall short if we use that defintition. I don't know too many Christians that are truly Monk like, I know Im not.

Are you claiming, like another supposed 'apostle' of my acquaintance, to be special, even among the Redeemed, to have the authority to speak 'ex cathedra', so that if one rejects or questions your word, they are rejecting or questioning God?
I suppose you are referring, as I was, to: 1 Corinthians 2:14:
My bad. I thought I was responding to the OPWhere did you get anything even close to that idea? Again, I think we all fall short.
Really odd reply.
No, a language barrier between th OP and us.
From the Eastern Orthodox experience, those who consider themselves to be spiritually powerful or advanced, have more than likely fallen into prelest or plani, the Russian and Greek terms respectively for "spiritual delusion". The truly spiritually advanced are always humble and see themselves as the least worthy of all because the closer you are to God, the more even the slightest imperfections show up in the ever brightening light of God's holiness.
You defeated a Balrog?Roughly as powerful as Gandalf in his hayday.
Roughly as powerful as Gandalf in his hayday.
Idk.
I cannot say I am strong. I cannot say my strength comes from myself. I cannot say I am powerful in spirit.
I’m not smart in the world or wise in spirit, though I hope to be.
Plus, you can’t give yourself a rank, it must be given to you by others. Therefore, it is impossible to know because others will give our rank to us, not ourselves.
Hope that makes sense.
God bless.
