1 | How do we receive Him? As Guest/Owner? | John 1:12 | kalos | 164049 | ||
"no one seeks for God" Romans 3:10-12 (ESV) as it is written: "None is righteous, no, not one; [11] no one understands; no one seeks for God. [12] All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one." Grace to you, Jeff. --Kalos |

Hello brother Kalos, Glad you joined. I hope your not using this passage to support the notion that no one seeks God as that is the context of the last post. You are a good bible student and teacher so I'm sure you have researched the quote from Paul referring to several passages of the OT including Psalms and Isaiah. Question, what was Paul's intent when quoting the OT there in Romans 3? What was the context of the statements when they were made in the OT? Do the statements intend to imply and or do they teach that no one seeks God? If your answer to the last question is yes, what do you do with the verses I quoted in my last post and the many similar ones in the bible (keeping in mind to keep those in context as well). Look forward to your answers if you have time. with love, Jeff |

Jeff: You had written: 'With this in mind, let me ask what you meant by your statement: “According to Scripture, there is none who seeks God” This is a definitive statement. Yet I don’t know of this teaching.' My only purpose in posting what I did was to point out, in response to the above statement, that the Bible in Rom. 3:10 says that '..no one seeks for God. ' I was not then, nor am I now, participating in the debate. Merely providing factual information in response to your statement that you didn't know of this teaching. Grace to you, Kalos |

Thanks Kalos, I did know of the scriptures you pointed out, but I appreciate your contribution. By "teaching" I was referring to mommas presentation of it. Perhaps I'm reading in to her statements but I took it to mean that this was a statement of truth concerning all people of all time. She and I are working it through I believe and I hope to understand her position and make my own clear as well. I hope to learn from her and she from me. Forgive me if I came across cross. To my discredit, I have allowed myself to be on the defensive lately. with love, Jeff |
