for those who refuse to believe ( in the saving power of Jesus Christ, His death burial resurrection and ascension into heaven , His shed blood paying for our sins ) but still want the sheen or aura of being... good
“They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate” (Titus 1:16). Romans 1:18 18 For kthe wrath of God lis revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. Romans 1:28 28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. can we agree that agreeing with the world and accepting this mindset, ( paganism, basically) leads to a reprobate mind, it is something God does, He shuts people off from the truth... they can;t even see the truth when it is presented to them. deceivers and being deceived that;s right, they can;t tell when presented with a lie, either. 2 Timothy 3:13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. notice that word evil once on this path ( and you might agree most of the world has been on this path most of the time) Depravity .it coincidences in some bible version with our definition of reprobate minds, you know the term legally it is called depraved indifference . not caring what your actions do to others, Bing;s dictionary depravity [dəˈpravədē] NOUN
Evil. evil [ˈēvəl] ADJECTIVE
NOUN
well that;s just peachy. if you have turned from God, you are evil? Yes, my friends. and we all have this capacity, sons and daughters of Adam. the sin nature. this is it .this is where it leads, to death despair and horrors.... and I know you who my be reprobate will not read this post, but I hope in some ways it can help. help Christians understand the mindset they are dealing with. helping them to spread the gospel when and where they can, because the Holy Spirit does still continue His work. and so does Satan and his minions if you hadn;t noticed, he is really ratcheting it up lately. Pray for the supernatural level of fear to abate . pray for your leaders, even if you think they are long gone into a reprobate mind.Pray for the lost. they really cannot understand, led about by every whim, every fear . If we Christians are of many minds, many thoughts about what is happening it must be so much worse for those who dont know Jesus and even knowing they will soon shun us jail us and even worse, we were once "such as them." and we know the solution.. belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.not our own righteousness, but His. maranatha |
