Hello Everyone.
So, how bad do you have to be for God to have a reprobate mind about you? I did something very bad in my church. All for love. My live has NEVER been the same since. I once was so so close with God. I'd get up every morning, early, to spend time with Him, and pray. I taught Sunday school, was an intercessor in the church, on the prayer team, and the treasurer of the church. But then I gave into sin, and now I am on the other side of the spectrum, so far away from God. I try to read the bible, but all I can think is how can I ask God for ANYTHING after what I did. How can He love me or want me still???
I am really needing prayer and guidance, but I don't know where to turn.
Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words: Reprobate
(b) of persons, Romans 1:28 , of a "reprobate mind," a mind of which God cannot approve, and which must be rejected by Him, the effect of refusing "to have God in their knowledge;"
2 Tim 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
2 Tin 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
(NOTE: vs 7 ever learning, yet, vs 8 resist the truth)
KJV Dictionary Definition: Reprobation
When a sinner is so hardened as to feel no remorse or misgiving of conscience, it is considered as a sign of reprobation.
toofargone, in post #20 you said: "QUOTE My heart is filled with sorrow, deep remorse, and constant aguish and deep regret over my sin; the regret of what I had done fills me DAILY.
toofargone, Reread the KJB Dictionary definition. Your post is clear, you have/feel remorse. When Christ said; It's Finished. He was speaking of His redemptive SIN ATONING sacrifice. At the Cross, Christ forgave YOU! Time to forgive yourself & move forward.
