Chris,
Heres some more to consider. Galatians 5:19-21 19Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Are you getting the point? There are several more of these inspired lists of what Jesus considers sin. If one spends time in Gods word he will teach them those things he opposes. |

Paul warned the Ephesians:5:3-5
3But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 4Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. 5For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Lovers of Jesus will want to abide (remain in fellowship) with him. They will spend time just thanking him for the good things he has done. As to people being lost because they did not know sin is, thats what the Bible is for. If one doesn't take the time in Gods word to know what pleases and displeases the Lord they certainly are putting their soul at risk. |

Re: Be Perfect Be Pure
Do we really think that what we mean in the 21st century in English by the word perfect is what the Hellenized world of the 1st century meant by the world teleos?
We look in our Bible lexicons, and we see definitions for teleos ranging from complete, whole, mature, lacking the need for anything to be added, and etc. These are all fine and good, by WHY and HOW does teleos mean these things? That is the question. |
