“the vomit of sin they return to is trying to be justified by their own righteousness of the flesh.” I was responding to the “vomit of sin” post. I don’t see how that is adding to it by considering what “the vomit” is that they return to.The passage says no such thing.
You add that to the scripture.
Don’t do that.
Ezekiel 36:16-17 The word of the LORD came to me: [17] "Son of man, when the house of Israel lived in their own land, they defiled it by their ways and their deeds. Their ways before me were like the uncleanness of a woman in her menstrual impurity.
Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
Proverbs 26:11-12 As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool returns to his folly. [12] See you a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
what is the vomit they return to. What is their folly? What is a man wise in his own conceit which is worse off than a fool that returns to his folly? We say it is they’re returning to their failure of beating that addiction. Or their failure to overcome that one thing they just can’t get right. But what if the vomit they return to is “all our righteousness” instead of Philippians 3:9 to be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
You said I added to …but I’m only suggesting Paul may have said to return to his own righteous which of the law was to return to his own vomit.. and that he didn’t want to return to his own vomit. 2 Peter 2:22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
