Or were you trying to say that we are not to discern good from evil???
Thanks, I didn't think I was throwing stones.
Of course we are to discern good and evil. Part of the curse of the Fall is that we "have become like one of us, able to know good and evil" Genesis 3:22. There are many understandings of that statement but I believe that to some degree it means that as a result of being cast out of the garden, we are on our own. We are forced to make the call b/n good and evil but we do not have the capability to do that on our own. It was and is the domain of God alone.
That does not mean that we are utterly without help. We have scripture and we have the Holy Spirit. The non-believer does not share in that and, apart from his conscience (which is a gift from God), simply makes it up or follows cultural norms, doing whatever seems right in his own eyes.
The believer still must be careful as today we only see, 'as through a glass, darkly.' Hence we must admit in humility that we remain flawed and prone to misunderstanding and misinterpretation. We must make the effort to choose the right because God calls us to. But we can be wrong, and we must rely on the grace and mercy of our Creator and his forgiveness in Christ. We must be comforted by looking forward to that day when we shall be changed and will see the Truth face to face.
Your welcome...I did not see any stones...
By any chance, have you seen or read any of Ray Comfort’s material, “WDJD”, “Hell’s Best Kept Secret”, or “Way Of The Master”?
From reading some of your posts I think you might find them interesting...
God bless
