THE PROBLEM

THE PROBLEM is, after being saved (we are yet carnal) and (know not how to believe the truth) therefore (Romans 10:3-4;  3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.) thus,

FIRST:/   When the scriptures say ~ 2 Corinthians 5:17 - Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

ONE:/  Carnal believers (not knowing the great and utter, far reaching significance hereof this verse; not knowing nor understanding what this verse really means).......

A./ Thus, they come up with there own ideas and conceptions;
then,
B./ teach these traditions and precepts of man as if it were doctrine;
and,
C./ they speak evil of the things they understand not.
and,
D./ They don't know how to believe it, therefore, they try to explain it away or usurpt it with their own beliefs.

E./ Therefore, they entered not in; and, those that were entering in they hindered.
and,
F./ Not knowing how to believe.....

Titus 1:15;...unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.

Isaiah 59:12 - For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;

when it should be like this



John 9:41; - Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin:



it becomes like this

John 9:41; but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

which,
G./  becomes SELF CONDEMNATION

Romans 14:22 - ......Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.   SELF CONDEMNATION

Galatians 2:18 - For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
  
Titus 1:15 - Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.

1 John 3:20 - For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

2 Peter 3:4 - And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

Isaiah 59:12 - For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them; 

because, 
H./ .....Romans 10:3-4;  3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 

I./   Romans 10:16 - But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? 

J./   So that, when the scriptures say ~ Hebrews 10:2;....because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. they know not how to believe nor understand it.
and,
TWO:/  Carnal believers (not knowing the great and utter, far reaching significance hereof this verse; not knowing nor understanding what this verse really means).......

A./ Thus, they come up with there own ideas and conceptions;
then,
B./ teach these traditions and precepts of man as if it were doctrine;
and,
C./ they speak evil of the things they understand not.
and,
D./ They don't know how to believe it, therefore, they try to explain it away or usurpt it with their own beliefs.
 


The whole cycle of recidivism, sin sickness and the syndrome of sin recycles and begins again and again and again ~ 2 Timothy 3:7 - Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.   

THREE:/     THUS,

2 Thessalonians 2:10 - ....because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

Romans 10:2 - For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

Hosea 4:6 - My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

2 Peter 3:16 - As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.


THEREFORE,

2 Peter 3:4 - ....for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

Isaiah 59:12 - For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;

John 9:41; but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

Hosea 4:6 - My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

2 Peter 3:16 - As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
 


FOUR:/     NOT KNOWING THAT.....
Proverbs 16:6 - By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.  
and, 
Hebrews 10:2 - ...once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.

SECOND:/   Hebrews 2:8-10;
8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
"now we see not yet all things put under him."

2 Peter 3:4;  ....for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

i.e. sin, death, lusts, corruption, etcc..........all yet remain: why ?

1./    Then, this apparent contradiction causes the natural, carnal, mind/man to stumble.

1 Peter 2:8;  And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

2 Peter 3:16;  As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

and,

2./   The whole incongruency is interpreted naturally, in human terms of understanding (which is to say, not according to nor in accordance to nor with The Word of God).
