Bible Note: [Is that what Paul and Peter are teaching, in your view? If so, are they wrong to teach it?] No..Quite the contary it's required of a son to be disciplined that he bring honor to his namesake. What Paul says is that in fighting the good fight of faith the fight has to do with retaining a singleness of eye on Christ. That's a fight to be sure because of the distractions and things that enter our minds by osmosus. Keeping our faith in Christ frees Him [by our faith in Him] to excercise His FAITH in us. "I live BY the FAITH OF the son of God"....Paul. See the woman with the issue of blood and ponder that for awhile. |
