The Holy Bible Cannot Be Judged by Carnal Minds.
The Holy Bible contains spiritual truths that carnal minds cannot discern because they are spiritually discerned. The carnally minded may be able to comprehend some things written in the Holy Bible, such as historical facts, the names of animals, trees, people, etc. The main reason why the carnal minds cannot understand certain truths contained in the Holy Bible is because darkness has strongholds on such minds. The carnally minded is bound in the kingdom of darkness. The darkness prevents the light from entering into such minds. The minds of the children of darkness have to operate in spiritual darkness because that is what they are capable of. While the carnally minded can comprehend many truths such as being kind and merciful and live accordingly, they stumble when it comes to see themselves as sinners in need of the only saviour, Jesus Christ.
As long as a person remains bound by Satan and darkness the Holy Bible will remain foreign to him or her. In Romans 8: 7 you can see the truth that the carnal mind is enemity against God. Such minds cannot obey God. It is difficult, but the carnal minds can be brought into submission to God anytime He chooses to bring them into submission.
Christians have to rely on the Holy Spirit to keep them on a straight course when it is difficult. When Christians are unequally yoked with unbelievers they are resisting the help of the Holy Spirit. They can end up being carnally minded in that particular area where their unbelieving friends have a greater influence on them. Christians can do fleshly acts without any unbeliever influencing them.
This truth does not mean that Christians should not have unbelieving friends. Christians should do their best to keep such friendships with love and peace and with the understanding that God COMES FIRST. Christians owe it to their unbelieving friends to live a Godly life before them. Children of light are to give witness of the light that their friends may overcome the darkness through Jesus.
