Scripture Verses On Double Mindedness
Scriptures – Double Mindedness 5/21/2009 These Scriptures will have some of a little of reference verses, also. A double-minded believer is someone who is constantly living in a state of compromise. Half of you lives for God, while the other half lives for your bad habit. Hence, you are “double-minded.” “What does it mean to be double-minded (James 1:8; 4:8)?” Answer: The term double-minded comes from the Greek word dipsuchos, meaning “a person with two minds or souls.” It’s interesting that this word appears only in the book of James (James 1:8; 4:8). Bible scholars conclude that James might have coined this word. To grasp the full meaning of this word, it is best to understand how it is used within its context.Single-mindedness vs. Double-mindedness Three Types of Minds Scripture speaks about three types of minds: the natural mind (an unbeliever), a double-minded person (a Christian) and a single-minded person (also a Christian).
