Bible Note: Jeff: You had written: 'With this in mind, let me ask what you meant by your statement: “According to Scripture, there is none who seeks God” This is a definitive statement. Yet I don’t know of this teaching.' My only purpose in posting what I did was to point out, in response to the above statement, that the Bible in Rom. 3:10 says that '..no one seeks for God. ' I was not then, nor am I now, participating in the debate. Merely providing factual information in response to your statement that you didn't know of this teaching. Grace to you, Kalos |
