1 | Sectarians go to Hell? | Gal 5:20 | Percival | 4838 | ||
Dear members, This scripture, in the context of Gal.5:19-21 speaks of things that would negate our inheritance of the kingdom of God. Among them is 'factions' (also translated 'sect' in the NASB) - haireses, meaning choice, opinion, and the basis of the word heresy. My question is in two parts: 1-Does 'not inheriting the kingdom of God' mean going to Hell? (including heretics) and 2-Does not a goodly part of Christianity engage in sectarian practices? Praise the Lord! |

2 | Sectarians go to Hell? | Gal 5:20 | Hank | 4875 | ||
Percival, please see two other of Paul's lists in Rom.1:24-32 and 1 Cor.6:9,10. Charles Ryrie says of this list, "The tense indicates habitually practicing these sins, exhibiting a life-style that shows an unsaved condition." John MacArthur says, "These sins characterise all unredeemed mankind living under the impotent commands of the law which produces only iniquity, though not every person manifests all these sins nor exhibits them to the same degree." To extend Paul's meaning to encompass sects (or factions) in the same sense as we commonly use it, i.e., denominations, is probably a strained interpretation. That would rather force upon us the conclusion that no Baptists, or Methodists, or Lutherians, etc. would enter the kindgom of God. And the next question to ask would be, "Then who will?" It would seem that Paul had in mind more grievous issues. --Hank | ||||||
