Bible Question:
Word Study ... iniquity is avon ... from avah Did you have to learn to sin? avon means perversity, depravity, iniquity, guilt or punishment of iniquity Verse 2 says, "Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity." Verse 9 says, "Hide Thy face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities." So when I was brought forth in iniquity, either my birth was iniquity or I was. If you study the Hebrew you may understand. avon is from avah means to bend, twist, distort ... to commit iniquity, do wrong, pervert. Then the second part ... either conception was sin, or I was a sinner at that time. Apparently you do not get it ... so this is my last breath to you on this. Read what God has written and other posts. |
Bible Answer: "Apparently you do not get it." I'm only trying to teach the truth, and I'm sorry to have brought out such a spirit in you. Accept my apologies. Maybe others will be more patient. You offer two choice: 'either conception was sin or I was a sinner at that time.' It is convenient that you limit the possibilities of its meaning, but not accurate. Maybe his mother was sinful, maybe the world in which he was born into was sinful. Why would I accept your interpretation when others exist? Why would I interpret David's word to be saying, "I inherited someone else's sins"? Sorry, that just doesn't fit the Gospel message. Each man has free will and the Gospel is for ALLLLLLLL. God is not a respector or persons, as He desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. How can I take God's 'desire' seriously if He doesn't make a good faith offer of salvation to all men? If people come into the world depraved and stay in that condition because God DIDN'T ELECT THEM, that is not a sincere offering at all! God gives everyone the same chance. If he opens the eyes of one man, to be fair, He must open the eyes of all men. He does so through the preaching of the message. Each man is then responsible for accepting or rejecting it. Good day. p.s. I understand I won't hear from you again on this matter, and I'm indeed sorry. |
