Is it possible for a child of God to come into condemnation?
Some might jokingly say, 'Yes, on CC'. And that would be true, but does God ever condemn those who are in Jesus?
One of the scriptures that would come into question obviously would be Romans 8:1, which I see many using.
The King James writes it like this.
Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
But there are other versions that leave out the latter half and write it like this.
(ASV) There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.
The funny thing about this is that most of the old text found, about 95%, agree with the KJB, and the other 5%, agree with the ASV.
Many translation of today leave out the latter half claiming that the older and more reliable text don't have it in there. The older part is true, but as for the more reliable text, that I call into question.
Have any of you looked at a Catholic bible lately? I know some of you are Catholic, and I have nothing against the people who claim to be Catholic. I just have a thing or two against the church and its doctrines, which I believe made it so that they could have power/influence over the masses. That's why they outlawed it for anyone to have a bible in the early church history.
Anyway, if you have, you would see that it too has the same verse without the latter half.
What does that have to do with the older and more reliable text?
They are Catholic texts, that the early church manipulated by attempting to erase that which was written in the codex Sinaiticus and Vaticanus. And yes, you can still see the old writing they erased on the parchment.
Those who wrote the KJB had these same text available to review, only for Spurgeon to call them corrupt.
The reason why it is important is because, with the text removed, it leads Christians to believe that they can do anything without coming into condemnation, and that they are automatically forgiven of every sins they commit.
But with the latter half in place, it would let those who are in Christ Jesus, or to those who are born again, know that they can indeed come into condemnation if they fail to walk after the Spirit and choose to walk after the flesh.
That would mean they cannot do anything they want to do without consequences, and that everything they do is not automatically forgiven and covered under the blood of Jesus without repentance.
God forbid that we should preach repentance to the church, or the body of Christ.
There are many more verses in the bible that deal with this subject, but for now, what are some of your thoughts?
Can we, the body of Christ, come into condemnation or not?
