I'm still curious so I"ll ask the question again: Try it a third time.
For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, "YOU SHALL NOT COVET." So then your answer is that it is NOT acceptable for a Christian to covet if I'm reading you right.
Christians use the law as a check. We use the written law as a guide to tell us if we're sinning...or better worded, to tell us when we're not letting Christ live through us and instead are letting our own nature live.
" So then your answer is that it is NOT acceptable for a Christian to covet if I'm reading you right. "
But it happens anyway every day in the life of a Christian whether they are aware of it or not.
Can't shed off the flesh man can we ? it's only until death do us part will we ever be released from that part of our being.
