Body

Who Was St. Patrick?

“As far as our evidence goes, Patrick was the first person in Christian history to … grasp that teaching all nations meant teaching even barbarians who lived beyond the border of the frontiers of the Roman Empire.” - DeYoung

Carnal Christians -- do they exist?

Paul wrote (NKJV)

And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ.

I chose the NKJV because it retains the word “carnal,” and the term “carnal Christian” was derived from that. So do genuinely carnal Christians exist? Or are these new believers who haven’t progressed much? Or is Paul uncertain about their conversion?

This could tie in with 2 Corinthians 13:5 perhaps?
