NASB | Ephesians 2:3 Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. |
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]. |
Subject: Dear John: Is it possible? |
Bible Note: We differ about these things in this present age because we are still sinners. I'm certain that my knowledge of the Bible is flawed in many ways. Nevertheless, until I am further enlightened by the Holy Spirit, I must stand on the truth which I have been given. We are not foreordained to confusion. But spiritual growth takes place over time. Participation on the forum has been a great help to me and I praise God for you and Hank; Tim and Joe and all the brothers ans sisters with whom I have been priviledged to converse with. It may not appear to be the case to all, but, it has been a humbling experience as well as anything else. I know that the doctrines of grace, which seem to come contiually from yours truly, are a burden for some members. But my love for what I believe to be God's truth compels me. To desist would be like abandoning the gospel itself! I would become a pleaser of men. Of course no one is compelled to pay any attention at all to my posts. It seems strange that those who are the staunchest defenders of "freedom to choose", would deny me my right to discuss that which interests me. Anyway, I still love you all and pray for God's blessing on us all (each and everyone :-) John Ps I've been recieving some inquiries regarding "does all always mean all". Any takers? :-O |
