Subject: Is sin inherited from father and mother? |
Bible Note: Dear John, Have you heard this one: Roses are red, violets are blue, if you ain't Gentile, then you must be Jew. Excuse me for repeating that, but I have a point. If God granted to Jew the ability to repent, and God granted to Gentiles the ability to repent, that covers everyone. God has granted it to everyone. Also, I who began this thread, do not believe in Arminianism, Pelagagianism, Calvinism, or any other 'ism.' As long as my argumentation is viewed as being one of these 'isms', then you won't hear what I'm say. The 'natural man' that you refer to from 1 Corinthians 2, can be a Christian or non-Christian. Romans 8 speaks to Christians and encourages them to set their minds on the things of the Spirit, not the things of the flesh. It is a choice. Weigh the evidence, and choose to fix your hopes on things above. The 'born again' Corinthians were very carnal, as you know. Carnal, Natural, it is all the same. They were looking at things as mere men. They were looking at things, not as spiritual men. They were, like Peter, putting man's interests ahead of God's. Peter 'stood condemned' because He chose to separate himself from the Gentiles when Jewish brethren entered the room. Paul rebuked him. Peter was caught in a sin and he was 'called down' for it. Sin is a choice, just like love and faith. We choose to love, we choose to put our faith in God, and not in the things of this world. "God gave the right to become children of God" to those who choose to receive Him. That's Bible, that's good news! It isn't good news if the Gospel isn't for all because Christ atonement was a 'limited atonement' or because 'spiritual separation' and the certain destruction is inherited. Have a good day. I must go to bed. |
