:rolleyes: ... seriously, ForestGreenCook? Do you believe every person sitting in church pews is born again? Unbelievers go to church because they believe the church will teach them the Word of God. The problem is that there are many preachers who do not preach God's Word so folks sit in the...

ForestGreenCook, in Post 2075, you stated (bold mine), "God loves the world of believers who believe in spiritual things, only, after they have been born again by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (Eph 2:1-5)". That statement is completely untrue because when you read Ephesians 2:1-5, God says...

Paul does not need to explain that those who are not born again ... those who do not have Holy Spirit within … cannot comprehend spiritual matters. However, in 1 Cor 2:14, Paul explains that it is carnal christians who cannot comprehend spiritual matters. 1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural...
