03/16/18 FALLACIES OF SINNING RELIGION
If God delivers folks from outward sins (murder, stealing, pedophilia), why not from inner sins (lust, hate, greed)?
Psst HE DOES. THAT IS THE FALLACY OF SINNING RELIGION, otherwise, murderers would keep on murdering, thieves would keep on stealing, perverts would keep on perverting.
But we all know (if we are awake and honest) that God does deliver people from murdering in the flesh, stealing in the flesh, raping in the flesh.
NOW...
If God delivers from sins of the flesh, then why can't He deliver from sins of the spirit?
If God delivers from sins of the flesh, then why won't He deliver from sins of the spirit?
If God delivers from sins of the flesh, then why wouldn't a person want to be delivered from sins of the spirit?
IT DON'T MAKE NO SENSE! (Don't worry about my gram-mar. Focus on the DOCTRINE).
The devil wants folks to sin and sinners want to sin, so they have this arrangement that falsely presents God as not being able, or willing, or interested in saving people from the sins of flesh AND SPIRIT.
BUT GOD SAYS...
2 Corinthians 7:1
1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
James 4:8
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
James 1:21-25
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
