AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 2:3 Among these [unbelievers] we all once lived in the passions of our flesh [our behavior governed by the sinful self], indulging the desires of human nature [without the Holy Spirit] and [the impulses] of the [sinful] mind. We were, by nature, children [under the sentence] of [God's] wrath, just like the rest [of mankind]. |

Bible Note: John Reformed - To New Creature you say, "Like most modern evangelicals, you probably believe 'man is the captain of his soul and the master of his fate.' ..... Do you know most modern evangelicals? Unless you do, this is not only a particularly offensive remark but a dishonest one too. I'm an evangelical and I suppose a modern one, since I live in this so-called modern age, and I don't believe that I'm the captain of my soul or the master of my fate. I believe in the sovereign God every ounce as much as any Calvinist claims to, but, unlike the Calvinist, I believe that God so loved everybody in the world that He gave His one and only Son that WHOEVER (not whoever of the 'elect') believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. (cf. John 3:16) --Hank |
