1 | I just started reading the Bible and.... | OT general | petedavis6263 | 211271 | ||
Hello BradK, It definitely is late for me and I think this will be my last post for the night. Thank you for your kind words. I haven't yet made it to Romans, just partially through Mark right now. With respect to being guilty before God, I choose to believe that I am born of Him. My pastor told me once awhile ago, as God spoke in 1 John 3:4-9, whoever is born of God cannot sin. Ever since I was a little boy I had a remarkable kindness towards others. I never bullied anyone and no one ever bullied me. I had and I still have a God-given respect for others. Red, yellow, black or white, everyone's the same in my sight. In my business career I am a straight shooter. I am honest, fair and generous both with my customers and employees. I have been very successful as my blessings have been abundant. I believe I am a sinner only to those who judge incorrectly. Through mine own eyes I see clearly. As 1 John 5:18 tells me, whoever is born of God cannot be touched by the wicked one. I regret that I have never attempted to read the bible completely until now. Although I am only a few books into the effort, I am surprised at what I have learned so far. I'm not sure if I'm stepping on any toes and if I have offended anyone, I am deeply sorry. I do not mean to insult or hurt anybody. If I am despised because I speak the truth as my eyes see it, then I ask for forgiveness. Thank you for your kind understanding. Pete |

Hello Pete, If I may, are you a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, and, if so, for how long? Also, what church do you fellowship at? It would appear that you are denying the doctrine of original sin? 1 John 3:4-9 would be speaking of those who are professed believers! In verse 9, one who is "born of God" is one who has placed their faith in Jesus Christ, not one in their natural state. (See 1 John 5:11-12) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
