i see thieves in that litany of sins. seems like ALOT of professing christians

aren’t going to inherit the kingdom as ONLY 5-7 tithe the bible way of 10%.

tithing was NEVER done away with. in the O.T. they tithed to an earthly priest

and now we tithe to a heavenly high priest, the lord jesus christ.

Paul is basically saying that those people who indulge in sin and are not concerned about what God has to say about it will not inherit the kingdom of God. He could actually say that those who do not receive the blood of Jesus covering their sin will not inherit the Kingdom of God. But actually it takes more than just receiving it and just continuing to indulge in and enjoy your sin after you do so. The Holy Spirit is going to start to convict your heart of that sin. Ephesians 4:30 says “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God [do not offend or vex or sadden Him], by Whom you were sealed (marked, branded as God’s own, secured) for the day of redemption (of final deliverance through Christ from evil and the consequences of sin).” Receiving the sacrifice Jesus paid for us is not a license to sin. If one’s actions do not change what-so-ever, was their heart truely in the prayer?

But also, when we evangelize a person, we don’t simply say a prayer with them and walk away thinking we “just increased the Kingdom of God by one today.” We should let them know that God is expecting a changed heart and life. Let them know that they will not be able to walk the walk of obedience to Christ alone. Have a good Bible preaching church nearby for them to attend, if at all possible. Instruct them to get into prayer , asking God the Holy Spirit to give them the strength to change and please Him. Tell them to read the Bible. Starting with the Gospel of John is a good place to start. Help them to become obedient children of God.

The sins listed in verses 9 and 10 do not send a person to hell, because in verse 11 it says “Some of you used to be like that. But now the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and the power of God’s Spirit have washed you and made you holy and acceptable to God.” They were changed. But for those who do not change and continue to indulge in their sin, thinking all is well, because they have received Christ’s blood as payment for their sin, and now they can go ahead and indulge in sin freely, not having to fear of the consequences, they will be sorely mistaken. In James 2:17 it says “So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.” Will deadless faith save a person? From these verses we can know that the answer is obviously no. If a person refuses to live a changed life, if they refuse to see that their sin seperates them from God and they continue to enjoy their sin they will pay the same price as all sinners. As a major part of obedience, they need to be kind and loving to others who are struggling with the sins they used to struggle with. Not only those sins, but the sins of the world. When the Holy Spirit is talking to our hearts we need to try to obey Him, and ask for His strength. Believe me; I know how difficult it is to walk this world free from sin with little godly fellowship.

Could someone please explain to me what Paul means when he writes that neither thieves, nor covetous …. shall inherit the kingdom of God?
