So much for *passions are neutral.*
You want to ride the perverbial fence, but in the eyes of Holy God there are no fence riders. Fear is a lack of faith in God’s Grace, but that in itself is sinful. The article acts like any passion of the flesh is neutral because it’s all natural, but the passions of the flesh are exactly what born again Christians fight against every second of every day.
Matthew 26:41 King James Version (KJV)
41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Ephesians 6:10-11 King James Version (KJV)
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Revelation 3:15-16 King James Version (KJV)
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Matthew 12:30 King James Version (KJV)
30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
