Subject: meaning of according to the flesh? |
Bible Note: I'm sorry, I didn't do a very good job of reviewing your post and see your second question. The answer is very clear from the Bible. God's Word teaches very clearly in Acts 8 that christians can sin often in their lives and must repent to maintain the fellowship with God as cited in 1 John 1. We must be faithful till death as cited in Rev 2:10. You'll get a wide variety of opinions on this subject but I would urge you to study ALL of God's Word and don't take a chance on an innovative interpretation of God's Word. God will judge us on Judgment Day by ALL of the Words contained in the WHOLE NT, as per Jesus and His authorized representatives, the Apostles. Again, study all of this topic by inserting the key words in the search function on the right of your screen for a complete, balanced picture of God's Will on the subject. God bless. --Rowdy |
