The sound teaching is that those who reject the truth of the resurrection
will not hear the scriptures.
1 Corinthians 15:
12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you
that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that
he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
Without the Spirit of the Risen Christ, you can "hear" all the scripture you want,
and it will be empty words. Worse still, they will be turned into something of our
own making, re-shaping God into our own image.
2 Corinthians 3:
14 But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted
in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ.
15 But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
16 Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
