1 | The meaning of your statments | Luke 5:8 | brother paul | 179491 | ||
Dear Brian, Sorry for the delay, I've been away, If I understand your reply correctly, you ask how is it that 'sin' and 'evil' are in repemtive plan of God. Thank you for your question. 1 Cor 5:5 speaks p;ainly how an evildoer should be turned over to Satan that the Spirit might be saved. Somehow what we might consider as 'wrong' and 'sinful' has an ultimate goal of bringing people to repentance. Is this how we learn? Did mankind have to fall into 'sin' to begin to understand His ways? Did Judas have to betray Christ? Without Judas would I be a Christian? Is there a 'Judas' in us all? Is it part of the process of coming to know Him? Is 'sin' and realisation of 'sin' a part of reconciliation to Him? Romans 3:7, even Paul's lie is unto His glory. Romans 7:13 where the sin must become exceedingly sinful. When Paul said he had been accused of saying that, 'let us do evil that goog may abound' (Rom 3:8) he was accused of exactly the the point I a, trying to make. I, like Paul, do not advocate a life of sin. I, like Paul, say that God is all in all, (1 Cor 15:28) and averything permitted in God's wisdom could have been prevented by His power. Therefore anything that happens is OK by me. If he has permitted it, why should I object? Once we enter this spiritual understanding, it changes everything, all of a sudden everything is fine, it's in Him, no problems, do not be anxious, we are at peace, in Him. Got it? Love you brother, Yours and His, Paul |

Paul Sir: Would you please explain your paragraph of post 179246. "This is where legalism and orthodoxy separates itself from the Spirit. We have to rethink the meaning of 'sin' and 'salvation' in the ultimate plan of God. Was not everything He made good? What we call 'evil' might be part of His creative plan and purpose. What we call 'sin' may have been designed. Do we continue to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil?" Please break it down, and explain it with Bible references. Sir, on post 179491 I have the same question as BradK and Hank. In light of 'all' of GOD's Attributes , help this pea-brain human understand what you mean in both posts. 1 John 1:9 and 1 John 1:7b, Brian |

Hello Brian, 1 John 1:9 and 7b are explicit, I totally agree, everything must come back through Christ, yes yes yes, that is exactly where I come from. But how does He get us to that place? It is through our experience of sin sepereration and denial, where we stagger from one bad decision to another. That's how He does it, using our experience in sin and spiritual blindness to bring us to a place where we accept Him. My question is, do we judge this procedure as 'wrong'? Therefore is wordly 'sin' wrong and out of God's plan, if ultimately it might bring people to Him? This is the readjustment of our thinking. What we call 'sin' might be His plan. Romans 1:26 explains how God gives evildoers over to sin, and 1 Cor 5:5 repeats the same principle. God uses 'sin' to bring people to repentance. Therefore is it 'wrong'? I do not advocate a life of sin, that is not the point, but I can see how people are concluded in sin to come to God. In Matthew 13:24-30 we have the parable of the wheat and tares. It starts with Jesus saying that the kingdom of heaven is likened unto, and to be in the kingdom of heaven we must be born of the spirit. (John 3:5) In this spirit message Jesus exp;ains how the would be gardeners do not know the difference between the wheat and the tares until they have matured. Do we have to wait until sin has worked it's process? Until sin has become exceedingly sinful? (Rom 7:13) Yes I do think we have to revisit these questions and redifine what me mean by sin in the divine plan of salvation. Yours, and His, in Him Paul |

Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more kindness and forgiveness? Romans 6:1 (NLT) But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound...What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Romans 5:20b; 6:1-2 (KJV) |
