Subject: When do we become sinners? |
Bible Note: Yes, Nolan I'm sad to say we do have some difference here. There was a time when the discussion of God's Word was a noble thing, people were not afraid of words like doctrine and theology, and it was not considered plunging one's self, I assume by your tone, into something negative, by hearty, though courteous discussion. You speak of Tim's reply, and not to beat up on Tim but (yes the but word again..), he alluded to the fact that in Sodom's destruction, their eternal state was not in view. What about Abraham's dialogue with the Angel of the Lord, "for just 10 righteous men I will not destroy Sodom" (excuse my paraphrasing). What of the Apostle's quoting of Isaiah and Jeremiah in Romans 9:29, "except the Lord of Sabbath had left us a POSTERITY, we would become as Sodom". Or what of Peter's comparison of the Sodomites and Lot in II Peter 2:6ff, look particularly at verse 9 and 10. Nolan, my concern is that we look honestly at Scripture, and that we represent it faithfully. My intent is not to insult but to build up and I cannot find the Age of Accountability in Scripture, nor does Romans 7:9 seem to support the notion. Please forgive me if I have offended you in any way, my confidence though is in Christ and his word faithfully taught. Your brother in Christ, Peace. --JCP |
