Acts 13:41 "Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you shall in no way believe, though a man declare it unto you."

The sinful nature of natural men clouds their judgment of what the bible teaches because sin clouds men's judgment of spiritual things. A natural man cannot make sense of something spiritual.
