Still, I don't think I'd want to be upchucked by Jesus.
True. Being goven over to the world” (or to sin since the person chooses to live a carnal life) is also not good. The person caught in alcohol will die a miserable death with liver failure, other issues, the drug abuser will suffer tremendously, lose family, etc So many hurts come from choosing to backslide, but some people just have to learn the hard way, and their relationship with God really suffers. Not thst Living for God protects us from life’s ills, BUT it does mean we can lean on him when they come, and he will help,us through them. The backslider has only their drugs or alcohol or their particular sins to turn to to cope because God is not close to them, as per thr choice of the carnal Christian. IS like they have this huge Nanuet table spread before them, just out of reach, a d they refuse to,take the effort to reach the table and be filled. They starve just a few feet away from the table.
