Subject: Satan's will or God's will |
Bible Note: Dear Curt....Welcome to the Forum......You Wrote:..... "The clear meaning of the text is that we are to hold each other accountable to God's Word, and by lovingly teaching and correcting each other, we will avoid Satan's snare."...... But of course we are accountable to "God's Word" but the scripture referenced applies to a "will" not the Word. The question is whose will is the Scripture refering to. So "escape from the snare of the devil" indicates that the "snare" is the will of Satan. Metaphors. Satan wants us to sin. It is the will of Satan that we sin. We choose to do the will of God or the will of Satan. Satan, his will or not, has no power over us. So please explain what "snare" means to the verse if not a metaphor. And the "clear meaning" of the verse would be what? :-) God Bless....Jensen |
