Scholars are of the mind. Prophets and other inspired people are dealing with something beyond the mind, which means they see life in completely different ways. Scholars are not bad people, but they do not see the world a prophet sees.
Jesus said, "Show me the stone which the builders have rejected. That stone is the cornerstone."
In other words, the rejected or unseen truth is the actual truth.
Great spirits are always opposed by mediocre minds. Albert Einstein
All great truths begin as blasphemies. George Bernard Shaw

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. Arthur Schopenhauer
