Dontcha love how people who blow a gasket at the thought that someone would make a judgment about the state of their soul then goes on and demands that we make that very judgment about a public figure whom we don’t know personally based on some moral failure in their lives?
Works based religionists have always accused those who adhere to the gospel of grace of taking sin too lightly.
What they don’t understand is how the new birth creates in one a spirit that does not want to sin instead of looking for every opportunity to sin since there are no outside constraints imposed on them. They do not understand the internal control that one can exercise because they have never been born of the spirit.
Their carnal mind sees the lack of outside control, the Law, as license to sin because that’s what they would do if they were in our place.
It is all about a sensitivity t His Spirit within us. And not ignoring nor suppressing it...rather if need be asking for conformation...or simply walking on in faith.
And then someone would make a judgment about the state of their soul
You made a very clear statement that the born again's "spirit" can't sin, only their soul sins.
MHG made a very clear statement that their body sins, but their spirit does not sin.
Ravi Z by all accounts did sin - even if it was not the things he was accused of (I'm not convinced by the stories about him) - but you are saying that his body and his soul sinned but his spirit did not sin - so does that mean Ravi sinned or didn't sin?
Perhaps they don’t understand because it hasn’t happened to them yet. They are striving to be counted worthy, to earn or merit God’s salvation. They really haven’t a clue about what GRACE truly is.
