That is your responsibility to know you brought it up. Do your own work instead of pawning it off on others
I know what the context is...but you should do your own study so that you can know what it is...and, that the context does not nullify the scripture in question.
I mean, John the Baptist was *not* a carnal man! ;) Right?
He was filled with the Holy Ghost from birth.
Yes, good description! However, you would have to say that all men and women under the Law were "lions!" They certainly were not! The Prophets were not "lions," even though they had sin natures, and struggled, as Paul said, against sin, and were prevented from having eternal life.
Every prophet who prophesied had to be born again in order to receive the Spirit of Christ (see 1 Peter 1:11)..
The unregenerated unbeliever.
All is forgiven. All, for all time.
Consider what it says in Ezekiel 33:11-20 and see if ou think the same thing afterwards.
Grace has not been extended to you.....that is why you don’t understand it.....
Some things must be “Spiritually Revealed”......if you lack that “ Spirit” , you also Lack “ ears to hear”, and I have been advised to not “ cast my pearls before swine”......
You are certainly quick to judge, aren't you?
I believe that
@CharismaticLady's testimony bears out the fact that she is a recipient of grace.
I can commit Adultery and Murder my wife anytime I “WANT” to and here is the Clincher—— I don’t “ WANT” to!
David committed Adultery and Murder, yet he is a Saved man ....
Did he "WANT TO"?
David was STILL “ a man after God’s Own Heart” and was still counted as a “ Hero Of Faith”.
Of course, concerning David's sin with Bathsheba, God said of it that it would be an occasion for the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme...which is what they do when they teach that it is okay to commit adultery and murder because "David did it."
I don't think that you are looking at it from a perspective of how normal human people think...
Adultery and murder is indeed heinous.
Don’t start whining when God metes out your Chastisement —- If David received it —- you are going to receive it too.....That is the lesson to be taken from David’s life—— Act like a Fool...give into your sinful lusts ...
Disobey God....Do evil....never forget that “ your sin will find you out”.....pay a terrible price for what you have done to keep yourself and others from doing it again ,
Unless you are a bastard and not a true son.
Completely Unbiblical.....
His statement was in fact biblical (1 John 3:9, 1 John 3:6, 1 John 2:17; Jude 1:24, 2 Peter 1:10, 1 John 2:10, 1 John 3:7, 1 John 3:3, 1 John 2:6; 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 (kjv), Hebrews 10:14 (kjv), Colossians 2:11 (nlt)).
Unbiblical Hog-Wash.....I will ask you again—- why does Paul talk so much about God’s Chastisement for “ HIS CHILDREN” if those “ Children” never sin? God sure would be Unkind if he went about Punishing His Children for no good reason, wouldn't you agree?
Even those who have never yet believed are considered to be "the offspring of God" in holy scripture (Acts of the Apostles 17:28).
