"This is your evidence that lost man does only evil and every motive is suspect?" Actually, I gave at least four Scripture references. Why did you select this one instead of Romans 3? "Then you must be consistent and believe that the regenerated mind set on the things of the spirit only has pure motives." It is not inconsistent to deny this. Those who are in the flesh CANNOT please God. That does not mean that those who are born again ALWAYS please God. The two are not mutually exclusive propositions. I can please God as a Christian, but I frequently do not. "Because man is separated from God because of sin, it does not follow that everything that man does is evil. That is an improper leap." Again, if you have some Scripture that suggests the contrary (regarding the unbeliever), then let's look at it. I think the statement that "THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE" speaks for itself. "I'll close once again by saying how sad your view of man is." Well, I have never said it is a happy view. The question, however, whether it is an accurate (i.e. biblical) view. "The gifts of men, the kindnesses of men, the sacrifices of men: they are all ultimately evil, in your opinion." Anything not done for God's glory is ultimately evil. --Joe! |

Yes Joe! you did quote several verses and I always appreciate Scripture. But those verses don't say what YOU say they say. You want them to say that men are intrinsically, completely evil. So much do you believe this that every motive is not only suspect, but without a doubt evil. And you then use the Romans 8 passages which say that the 'mind set on the flesh is death' proves that every deed and thought is evil. These verses do not show that. "Anything not done for God's glory is ultimately evil." Oh please! You don't really believe this! You can't! Not all actions are intrinsically evil. If a non-Christian picks up a Bible and reads it out of curiosity is not evil. This is ridiculous. I hope that this view is not the predominate view among our religious friends on this forum. - Samantha Hear the Gospel, Believe it, Confess it, Repent and aline with it, Be baptized into it. - Acts 22:16 |
