double minded?
What is a simple solution for double mindedness?
Also, have you any Bible based insights on a carnal indivdual? If so, please feel free to pass along. (i am most curious and interested in this topic since i recently watched it on tv from CrefloDollarMinistries (carnal man stage) and didn't get to watch it all).
Thanks in advance and God bless

i agree with technoma...
and this is what i have found:
The teaching of the two categories of Christians has been popularized by the Scofield Bible, Dallas Theological Seminary and Campus Crusade for Christ.
A quote from the Scofield Bible clearly sets out exactly what the teaching is: "Paul divides men into three classes: 'Natural' i.e. the Adamic Man, unrenewed through the new birth; 'Spiritual' i.e. the renewed man as Spirit-filled and walking in the Spirit in full communion with God; 'Carnal,' 'fleshly,' i.e. the renewed man who walking 'after the flesh,' remains a babe in Christ" (Scofield Reference Bible, pp. 1213, 1214, Cf. Rom. 8:5-15).
It is very important to observe the two main points in this Scofield note. First, the division of men into three classes; second, we are told that one of these classes of men comprises the "carnal," the "fleshly," "the babe(s) in Christ," "who walk after the flesh." To "walk" implies the bent of their lives; their leaning or bias is in one direction, that is, towards carnality.
One of the most common and popular presentations of this position is available in the form of a small tract which presents the teaching like this:
After you have invited Christ to come into your life, it is possible for you to take control of the throne of your life again. The New Testament passage, 1 Cor. 2:14-3:3, identified three kinds of people:

The word Carnal comes from the same origins as the Spanish word Carne meaning meat or flesh. The natural tendencies of man is to satisfy the lusts of their flesh, that is what to be carnally minded means... to be self centered and care only for satisfying the lusts of the flesh at the expense of others. Being double minded is when people preach against the carnal man while yet continuing to satisfy their carnal lusts.
Rom. 8: 6-7 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Cor. 2: 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
2 Peter 2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

Could you elaborate on what a
"carnal man" is? Never heard of that.
