Subject: Paul had problems? No one acts good? |
Bible Note: Thank you for your post above, which I find most challenging, I will now address each of the verses you quote in turn. Romans 7, please explain how a person speaking in the first person singular present tense, and doing so at the behest of the Holy Spirit, is not refering to himself? You will be pleased to know that I do not teach "Sinless Perfection". Jesus was only refering to the way in which men think/judge things, and not the way He Jesus (one who is sinlessly perfect),Judges. Luke 11:13. Here Jesus is only saying that evil people are able to give gifts that other evil people think are good, and indeed as I have said before, we fallen sinfull humans do think that we can give good gifts, but this is not what God says. Phil 3:4-6, Paul is clearly refering to the time before his conversion, when he was as v6 says "a persecutor of the church", and why did you leave out veses 7-8, where the above verses are put into there correct perspective. Paul counts what he had refered to in verses 4-6 as gain, now in verses 7-8, as "lost rubbish". Regarding Acts 24:16, you will be pleased to know that I also feel the same way. Must close now due to time, more later. Christian love. Edwin. |
