1 | How does any Homosexual believe they are | Rom 1:19 | Radioman2 | 91530 | ||
"the mind of the flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit]" (AMPLIFIED) "the mind of the flesh" (ASV); "human nature" (GNT); "the sinful nature" (NLT); "the corrupt nature" (GOD's WORD) CurtMan: Good question and good to hear from you. I would go first with the text of the Amplified Bible in defining the term "carnal mind." The carnal mind is "the mind of the flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit]." The word "carnal" comes from the Latin "carn-, caro FLESH." Compare the English word "carnivorous" which means "subsisting or feeding on animal tissues", i.e. meat or flesh. AMPLIFIED Romans 8:6 Now the mind of the flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit] is death [death that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter]. But the mind of the [Holy] Spirit is life and [soul] peace [both now and forever]. AMPLIFIED Romans 8:7 [That is] because the mind of the flesh [with its carnal thoughts and purposes] is hostile to God, for it does not submit itself to God's Law; indeed it cannot. AMPLIFIED Romans 8:8 So then those who are living the life of the flesh [catering to the appetites and impulses of their carnal nature] cannot please or satisfy God, or be acceptable to Him. Consider also the following translations/definitions: The American Standard Version, highly regarded for its scholarship and accuracy, gives what is probably the most literal translation of the Greek phrase translated "carnal mind." In Romans 8:6 the ASV says "the mind of the flesh." NEW LIVING TRANSLATION Romans 8 6If your sinful nature controls your mind, there is death. But if the Holy Spirit controls your mind, there is life and peace. 7For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God's laws, and it never will. The NLT translation for "to be carnally minded" is "If your sinful nature controls your mind." The NLT translates "the carnal mind" as "the sinful nature." The GOD's WORD translation translates "the carnal mind" as "the corrupt nature." The Good News Translation translates "the carnal mind" as "human nature." I will go with these clear and accurate definitions of "the carnal mind." Grace to you, Radioman2 |

Hey RM2, Good to hear from you too. Needless to say my encounters with you have always been educational. The question I asked had a purpose, a destination, the place is I Corinthians, the purpose is this: What’s your take on Carnal Christians?? According to chp.1, v.2 Paul greeted the church and called them saints. In chp. 3, v.3 he called them Carnal, as a matter of fact he alluded to their carnality about three or four different times within the first three chapters. Thereafter and throughout the rest of the book he listed their shortcomings. To say that the Corinthian Church was just short of perfect would be a gross understatement. Now a Carnal Mind can not please God, neither can a Carnal Christian, but they were Christians, they were saints, and at some point and time their eternal resting-place becomes an issue. My focus is on the fact that they were Carnal and they were Saints, What’s your take on this?? The CurtMan |
