Bible Question (short): Are there stillborn Christians? |
Question (full): 1 Peter 2:2 like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, I Pet. 1:22, has always been somewhat of a puzzle to me. I would like to know the proper Greek grammatical construct of this verse. Is it a command given to new believers, or is it telling us that this will be the natural response of those who are new born in Christ? I.e. Did you ever see a new born that wasn't hungry for milk? I am very perplexed by so called Christians that don't have a hunger for God's word. CDBJ |
