How long he tarried as both an adulterer and a murderer, I cannot tell from scripture.

He was unclean BEFORE he commited adultery, looking and lusting coveting his neighbor's wife, and afterwards too.
How long would have the Holy Spirit tarried IN HIM, I cannot tell. But, one of the purposes of the Holy Ghost that abides in us as it did also in the days of old, is, to convict us of sin...not to depart everytime sin is commited. If the Holy Ghost departed everytime that someone sin...I doubt that there would even be a church. Why? By breaking the least of God's commandments, we are taught that we have broken all of them. In other words, we become guilty of the whole.
Therefore, a LIFE of repentance is required. |
Are you saying that your scriptures and my scriptures contradict each other?
We both know that that's impossible.
John 7:39 clearly shows that the OT prophets we're not infilled with the Holy Ghost, at least not in the same way as it is given today.
