Paul said that having some straight testimonial evidence from witnesses... One man sleeping with his mother in law. Does anyone here have such evidence that others are yet so carnal they must be constantly rebuked as Paul found it so needful to do?
1 Corinthians 3:1-3 KJV
The dark rainbow . when a man a man are sitting in a church claiming to BELIEVE
One has to understand the scale of the truth. Before Paul had a real connection to God, he justified himself through the scriptures. When the truth was revealed to Him...he was able to put the scriptures into their proper context. His writings became his testimony of the truth IN power AND NOT in word...as he puts it.
It can be...and it can be much more than that. People can return to their vomit...they can become enemies of the cross...they can rebel like Korah...they can proclaim they are rich when in fact they are poor wretched naked and blind.
I'm asking concerning that place as an adjective.
Since teaching -- by definition -- consists of words, you just contradicted yourself with your Gnostic philosophy. Here is what you said before that "The irony is that people will make the same religious mistake Paul made BEFORE his encounter with Christ...and base their faith on words rather than power and actual encounter."
Religious pride alert. The fallen condition of mankind is that he is a slave to sin.
I’m not following you there. I read nothing about a guy sleeping with his mother in law and I just read 1 Corinthians 1-3 again. He does not appear to be talking to one man either but to many of those present.
So yes, I have evidence that some are yet so carnal they need rebuke.They often go into threads and start hollering at and harassing whoever it is they’re mad at and fed up with. There is absolutely NO shaking the dust off the feet and leaving the persons thread. There is a constant following of the person and entering their threads and searching for their posts. And an argument of, I’m fighting satan and false teaching, is ridiculous. Jesus didn’t go following after and hollering at so called false teachers. THEY sought out wherever HE was currently speaking or teaching.
Like here, for instance. And when we were all trying so hard.
Any mention of the balance of goodness and severity of God brings out the old spirit of the Pharisee to murder the truth speaker. No surprise there.
Well I’m good and well tired of it. And his last sentence is stirring men up to join him in getting rid of you. It’s ridiculous. I’m going to start spraining my fingers hitting the report button on nonsense like that. I have confidence in letting the mods decide if he should be allowed to speak like that to another member.
I'm trying to do that...but the resistance is very great.
You are bringing in the topic of homosexuality and not contributing to the topic. Please stay on, or at least around, the topic of the op. And I would venture to at least guess that none in here are homosexual or married to the same sex. So please keep to topic.
As concerns a believer, yes, I think ”yet carnal” equates to immaturity and still ruled by the passions of their flesh.
That's all you are doing? Is it? In your posts to others, (not all) you make things direct and personal by saying, "you are still carnal, fleshly, and have need of Christ", on the sole basis of their differing in theology. Paul said those things based on evidential behavior and character. What things I have seen in others posts here, things that you claim are fleshly and carnal, I see also in yours. Now I do not immediately start the writers of being fleshly and carnal , but there could be any number of reasons why they differ to me in theology. I could be wrong for a start, and that would mean someone needs to get their Bible out and show to me how. Or, they could be wrong, (according to my perception of biblical truth which could also be wrong) and that would then be my calling to get my Bible out and show them how, which they would in response either show me my error, or deny my right to speak on some account, whether it's my denominational affiliation which everyone knows is SDA, or their misunderstanding of what I'm actually trying to say, (or ignorance of what SDAs actually teach which is common) which I would endeavor to clarify, which on some subjects is not an easy task. Some topics cannot be described or explained in a few paragraphs, and very few have the patience or willingness to go further. But what I try to avoid is calling those who do not agree stupid, fleshly, carnal, and unsaved and in need of Jesus. That simply ain't my job.
Please stick to the topic of the op, which is what does it mean to be born again, or at least somewhere around the topic. Your opinions of this man are not the topic of his thread.
