Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?

Corinthians 2:10-16

The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. What is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words. The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, for Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

They stand in need of teaching. They have to be reminded that human cleverness is a far cry from God's wisdom.

Why?

No one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. So we have no right to be proud of what we have done.

Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him? No, no one can do it for all of us are created by the Lord.

How?

To know the Lord is the gift of the Holy Spirit leading us to know the Lord. Be humble and Honor the Holy name of the Lord. Make decisions not by my mind but by the leading of the Lord.
