Bible Question:
Hi I am new to the forum, but I need to know something. I have heard many people say "the bible says come as you are". Can any one help me out here. Is that really in the bible? I have looked and I can not find it. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place. |
Bible Answer: Greetings! Welcome to the forum! The phrase 'Come as you are' is not used in the Bible. However, how else would anyone come but as they are? :-) Scripture does issue the invitation to come many times, but there is always a change in the person after he or she comes. See Mt. 11:28, Is. 55:1, and Is. 1:18 for a few examples. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
