Comments on: Are you sure you are saved? Part 4 http://www.3waystolive.com/2008/01/are-you-sure-you-are-saved-part-4.html Which is your way?

Do you honestly want to know the answer or just to trap Christianity? I guess it is the latter. You are not the first and will not be the last. Actually, there were plenty of people like you even in the times of Jesus, trying to trap Jesus on the issue of adultery (Matthew 22) or condemnation for adultery (John 8). My first answer to you will be that there is an answer to every 'contradiction' in the Bible. Some might be already known, for some we need to wait until we meet God face to face. Regarding your particular citation, a common Christian understanding of this verse is that no one understand, no one seeks God on its own. Instead, God comes in into our life and drives our desire to understand and seek him. But to get this interpretation, you need to read this verse in the context of the whole book of Romans (or at least its first four chapters). Of course, God must be already working in your heart for you to have even desire to do so. Hi Robert,

You say you go to church to try to learn more of “God's Truth”? You go to learn how to be “more Christlike”? And most of you have gone to a “million” different churches to try to find the one that says it best. (Or, do you just go to make others believe you are trying to “become”?) Wouldn't this make you be a “seeker”? And your actions would make the Bible be lying since scripture says that no one “seeks”! It says that on one seeks. But you do seek. You make the Bible be untruthful! Rom 3:11 11 “no one seeks for God.” Christian, why do you make the Bible be so untruthful?
