Bible Question: I lead a bible study in my home each week. The other night one of the members read a passage that he felt said that there are people who are born that are not meant to be saved. He was saying, I believe, that they are inherently evil and God made them that way for a purpose. My question is, does anyone know what passage he was quoting? I wrote down most of his references but for some reason did not write down that one. I really need to find this passage again so that I can further study it. Thanks for your help |
Bible Answer: Hello granny4jesus, He was most likely speaking of the vessels of wrath reserved for destruction, as written in Rom 9:22. Ps 58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb; These who speak lies go astray from birth. Jude 1:4, also 10-16 Rom 3:13 "THEIR THROAT IS AN OPEN GRAVE, WITH THEIR TONGUES THEY KEEP DECEIVING," "THE POISON OF ASPS IS UNDER THEIR LIPS"; or Psalm chapter 5, may it be so. These are some verses that come to mind. Please let me know if any of these are it. There are definitely more scriptures that teach what your "member" was speaking of. Praise be to His Holy name, Jesus. wordoer |
