Subject: why would God withhold the gift of faith |
Bible Note: Brother Tim, You asked the question: Where exactly is 'spiritually dead' defined as being unable to respond? Rom 8:7-8 "Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. and 1 Corinthians 2:14- But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. So can you accept the things of God (believe or have faith in spiritual things of God) while still being of this world? I don't think so Tim! :D Sola Scriptura Mike |
