Bible Question (short): The risk of emptying oneself? |
Question (full): Matthew 12:43-45 Is it talking about a so-call believer who acknowledged his own sin and determined to abandon it (...the unclean spirit goes out of a man...), but failed to accept and follow the Word / the Holy Spirit, thus emptying himself (... finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order ...). On the other hand, he was possessed with those heresy, false doctrines, worldly philosopy, etc. (...other spirits more wicked than itself...), and his condition was even worse than before? I don't know if my such understanding correct. I have been stuck with this scripture for quite some time. I believe some of you will be able to guide me through. Thanks Azure |
