D
This verse has been used around the forum a lot lately (including by myself) and I'd love some insight. I think I know what it means and how to interpret it but I'd like some opinions.
9Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
1 Cor. 6:9-11
When reading this passage, is it talking about those who do not believe in Christ or people who commit these sins (repeatedly) who are Christians? Isn't the grace of salvation for all who accept Christ good enough to inherit the kingdom?
I know my answers, but I want to hear yours.
