Logic is what a Carnal Mind does.
Logic requires the Carnal Mind to PICK between options, weigh the options, and choose WHICH option makes the most sense to them, that a man Concludes to trust "this" and not "that".
How does LOGIC play into a scenario, for a man who HAS ALREADY submitted, given, committed His Life to the Lord, and become Converted? Hasn't THAT man set ASIDE LOGIC of guessing, weighing between Options and Chosen to Trust the Word of God stands as the Sole TRUTH?
IOW, where does LOGIC, of a mans CARNAL MINDS Conclusion, fit into a Quickened mans spirit reliance on Christ is the Truth?
ENLIGHTMENT ~
Every man WHO is hearing the Word of God IS being enLIGHTened.
Their BEING enLIGHTENed is WHAT?
Hearing the TRUTH.
What are they Partaking IN?
Hearing the TRUTH.
Who is PROVIDING the TRUTH?
The Lord.
What is the TRUTH?
The Word of God.
What is happening to THEIR NATURAL HEART?
It is being GIFTED with measures of FAITH.
Who is the Provider of Faith?
The Lord.
Why are they called enLIGHTENed?
Because God IS LIGHT, and what they are Partaking OF IS the Receiving OF His WORD
TO; their ears
And
Partaking OF IS the Receiving OF His GIFT of FAITH; TO their natural hearts.
WHY is it NOT CALLED....CONVERTED?
Because the man HAS NOT, "ACTED" on what he has RECEIVED. (Gods Word to His Ears, and Gods Measure of Faith to His Heart)
If you recall the Lord BLESSES, both the SAVED and the UNSAVED.
The Lords WORD to the ears of a man IS a blessing TO .... in this case ... the UNSAVED.
The Lords GIFT of FAITH to a mans Heart IS a blessing TO ... in this case ... the UNSAVED.
This is a CASE of the UNSAVED....being Partakers of the Lords gifts....While still in their Natural sinful state.
It is precisely HOW a man BEGINS being PREPARED....
TO; Himself "ACT" and "CHOOSE" to give His Life to the Lord.
When ANY man "HAS" heard, "HAS" received measures of Faith....THAT MAN "HAS" partaken of the TRUTH and "HAS" partaken of the Lords Gifts, given him BY THE Lord.
It is called a Beginning, Enlightenment....
It is NOT CALLED a "CONVERSION".
IF IT WERE, "you" have neglected to Consider, the RECEIVER making a CHOICE, TO he himself, MAKING a Commitment TO the Lord.
You have decided, a man HEARING SOMETHING.....means he OPENED HIS MOUTH and made a CONFESSION of heartfelt belief......
WHEN the Scripture is simply notifying you of What the Lord HAS Done......the man has received.....AND THEN REJECTED.
Conversion IS the mans ACTION of ELECTING to RECEIVE the Lord Changing the man Spiritually within with FULL, FAITH-FULLNESS to the Lord and the Lord dwelling WITHIN the man Forever.
If a man IS receiving ENLIGHTMENT....and then REJECTS what he HAS received....that man has FALLEN from FAITH. The measures of Faith he received and the Truth he has receive to his ears......He has REJECTED!
Such a man would be better off, to have NEVER heard, NEVER received enlightment, NEVER received measures of FAITH.....
Because a Person IS NOT ACCOUNTABLE for what they have NOT KNOWN.....BUT IS ACCOUNTABLE and subject to the Consequences for What he HAS KNOWN and REJECTED.
Babies have NOT Heard or Know....They are not held Accountable for not Accepting Christ, because they Were not Enlightened.
People in the World living in complete seclusion, unaware of the rest of the world, who have NOT HEARD, are not Accountable for not Accepting Christ, because they Were not Enlightened.
It is Gods men-servants who minister scouring the World, sending HIS Word TO the World.
It is in the Last Days Gods Angelic ministers who will speak his WORD so NO man will be without Hearing, and faith from Him, that they are thus Prepared to elect to CHOOSE Him .... or not.
Enlightment DOES NOT EQUAL Conversion.
Enlightment....is gifts from God that men CAN and DO reject.
Conversion....is a man electing and choosing TO Accept the Lords gifts of Spiritual Change and His Indwelling Spirit.
God Bless,
