1 | Genesis Creation, a practical example? | Bible general Archive 1 | Morant61 | 20003 | ||
Scripture............................ Greetings Sir! I can't really think of anything real specific. The passage you referred to is probably the best. Mk. 7:20 He went on: ‘‘What comes out of a man is what makes him ‘unclean.’ 21 For from within, out of men’s hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, 22 greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. 23 All these evils come from inside and make a man ‘unclean.’” Other than that, there are passages like Rom. 8:1-12, where sin is dealt with more as an act of will than anything else. By this, I simply mean that a believer is able to will something other than sin. But, you original passage is good enough for it speaks of evil coming from the heart. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Clarification ................................. Dear Tim, So it seems that our process would work in this case as well. We can see too scripture passages that appear to contradict if both taken literally. One implies that the hand can cause sin, and the other says that sin comes from inside the heart of a person. Based on this we can say that one must be figurative based on an objective process instead of just because the first passage appears (subjectively) to be hyperbolic language. So far, so good. |
