What has Athens to do with Jerusalem?

People's reasoning places such a huge obstacle in their personal growth in God. We attempt to apply human analysis to things that the spiritual mind is needed to comprehend.

I have been facing others using human reasoning to cope with circumstances the last few days and I came across this quotation from Tertullian. "What has Athens to do with Jerusalem?" Why attempt to take the things of God and approach it without having His ways in mind?

"As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."
Isaiah 55:9

I want to have the mind of Christ. In every situation I face. May it be Lord.
