Bible Note: According to your interpretation of the "natural man" in 1 Cor 2:14, it would be impossible for those caught up in sin and error to repent! Why? Because the things of God are foolishness to them and they CANNOT recieve them (even if they would accept what they consider to be nonsense in the first place) because they are SPIRITUALLY discerned. By definition, the natural man does not possess spiritual life. I understand your (shall we say) reluctance. If you or Tim were to accept the plain reading of the text, your freewill doctrines would have to be abandoned. A daunting prospect indeed! Only God Himself is able to give one the courage to take that step. God Bless, Disciplerami, John Reformed |
