Bible Question: in one of Paul's letters he speaks of a conflict of two minds what passage is it? |
Bible Answer: In Philippians 1:23 Paul says, “I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you”. In Romans 9:3 he says, “I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh”. In Galatians 5:17 he says, “The flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would”. James also takes on that issue. He says, “He that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. Let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways (James 1:6-8). In 1 Kings 18:21 Elijah came unto all the people, and said, “How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word”. This conflict is something we seem to experience often. I myself have been wondering if I should respond to the question for while I was preparing an answer I noticed that others had done so before me. Now wonder if you are experiencing the same thing, trying to decide if you will tell us if we found the passage you were looking for. |
