1 | God grant repentance? | Gal 3:23 | Lookn4ward2Heavn | 187439 | ||
Doc, I Cor 2:14 in no way says or can be correctly interpreted as saying that "God does something physical to man's natural or spiritual substance." As I read it, all it says is that the man, as a sinner, does not value God's word and, therefore, rejects it because he has no spiritual apprehension of it's significance; that is basically it. Is 64:6a states that the transgressor's righteousness, in comparison to God's standard of righteousness, are unacceptable. Nothing here about change of nature as you suggest. The same goes for Titus 1:16; 2:14; 2 Corinthians 7:10, and Acts 11:18. Your interpretation to me has no bearing on the verses you cited. If Packer is suggesting what you have stated, I respectfully submit that my reading of the Bible shows he also is misinterpreting the verses. |

2 | God grant repentance? | Gal 3:23 | Wild Olive Shoot | 187506 | ||
The Gospel is hid to those who are lost. They are under the influence and power of the devil. Who among us has power over the devil that would make him relinquish his hold on the lost? To answer my own question: none but Christ. Until we are enabled by God to hear the Gospel and see it for the light it truly is, we cannot and will not hear for darkness has hold of us and we have not the ability to lift the veil on our own accord. 2Corinthians 4:2-4: 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. Lest the light shine unto them… God has to act upon us or we will continue in darkness. In that darkness, how would you see the need to repent? Stand in His grace, WOS |

Greetings WOS! Fortunately for us, the Light of the World has come. John 1:9 - "The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world." Matt. 4:16 - "the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned." John 1:7 - "He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe." Praise God for His infinite and wonderful grace! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
