The Chosen Vessel to Titus thus: "For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish..." The "we" of course refers the true Christians, who have now been called to knowledge, understanding and wisdom. But not to those who used to attend services, and are still foolish or those in a deceived world.
Then he added, "disobedient." Well, anyone who has not been struck by supernatural blindness, is well aware that that the term "obedience" is never used by the generality of mankind. Not even in religious organisations or families, where children are supposed to be obedient to their parents, and wives to their husbands. Of course, "the spirit that works in the children of disobedience" is the devil (Eph.2:2).
The Chosen Vessel also added: "deceived." True Christians know that Satan has deceived the whole world (Rev.12:9), and that includes the leaders of all countries. So there is no wonder, that no one knows how to solve the problems of world. Of course, earlier in the Epistle, Paul was inspired to write, and I paraphrase: all human relationships are based on mutual deception. People just lie to one another!
