Bible Note: Hi Fervent, I do not believe that God desires we be either "wholly righteous or wholly unrighteous"; his desire is for us to be "wholly unrighteous". What you suggest I am aware is the standard understanding of the texts but it is seems to me to be wrong because everywhere in the Bible God commands and desires us to be holy. Nowhere, except and only here as it has been erroneously interpreted, does the Bible suggest that God wants us one way or the other. God wants us to be one way: holy. You might want to check out the Expositor's Bible Commentary on that verse. |
