Subject: Whose will causes a believer to sin? |
Bible Note: Greetings John! I am at a loss my friend. If I understand your response correctly, then the commands of Scripture have no meaning whatsoever. Paul commands us in Rom. 6:12 - "Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires." But, you are saying that when a believers sins, he is only doing what God ordained. So, God commands us not to sin, but then MAKES us sin? Yet, Rom. 8:9 says, "You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ." We clearly do not read Scripture in the same way my friend. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
