As I have been suggesting recently, please suggest a Scripture you would like to discuss,
so that we don't waste time playing verbal ping-pong. Thanks.
“And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will
give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; and
that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.”
2 Timothy 2:24-26
We aren’t born like that but we yield to sin and become bound and servants of sin
“Know ye not, that to
whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey;
whether of sin unto death,
or of obedience unto righteousness?”
Romans 6:16 KJV
We all eventually yeild to sin and then it entangles and binds us so that we need to be
set free of that captivity to sin
“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,
If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and
ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
John 8:31-32 KJV
We’re born free then we yeild later to sin as we grow and then we need salvation and freedom or redemption , restoration ,
reconciliation to our original state
sin corrupts us and makes it like this
“I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and
bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.”
Romans 7:21-23 KJV
Notice it says
bringing me into captivity we aren’t born as captives to Satan we freely choose to serve sin in life and become bond servants of his Will which is sin. At this point we need remisssion of sins power over us to hold us captive in that law of sin within us because of good and evil
awe are born free , then choose sin when we are found in sin we thy en need remission of sins and restoration through the gospel
We aren’t made wrong by God we choose wrong and end up realization mg we need Jesus or were dead meat
