What is the wrong way for Christians to follow?
One View:The wrong way would be: 'to follow your heart' & 'to follow your flesh'.The Bible occasionally refers to the 'heart' in a figurative way; as if it had a mind of its own. The Bible states that our 'heart' can be a deceptive little thing. It may wish to please God, and do what is right; but it works in conjunction with 'the flesh'. The 'flesh' may desire something which Jehovah God has determined is wrong. The 'mind/brain' knows right from wrong, by having read the Bible. So the 'flesh' -- needs 'the heart' to force 'the mind' to work for the flesh; to find a loophole; to figure out something that makes allowance for the wrongdoing.One should put full trust in God's requirements, that they are indeed righteous. This is the best way to follow; you can't hardly go wrong.
