It happened left and right in the New testament! It's called repentance.
God bless you, too.

Ohhhhhhhhh....now I understand. I guess people now don't repent and THEN, they always did? That's a perfect explanation. Why didn't I think of that?

Dictionary definition of "Straw man":
"What a person accuses another of making when they have nothing worthwhile to add to a discussion or cannot cite any reasonable scripture to counter the intelligent point of another".
I just looked it up.

So Mike......exactly where in the New Testament did anyone ever "Seek for the Holy Ghost" and not get it because there was "sin in their life"? I'm tearing my Strong's Exhaustive Concordance apart and I'm coming up empty.

Naaaa.....I like my definition better. And it certainly applies here. So can you help me because evidently they left it outta my bible...that chapter where these poor people with sin in their lives kept "seeking" the Holy Ghost. Maybe there were really 30 chapters in Acts and my bible only has 28.
