CARNAL
CHRISTIANS
THE GREEK word for dull has to do with slowness of perception due to moral laxness. It was the word used as an epithet for a mule. Now mules are not your greatest thinkers. Mules are not your most intelligent animals. They are kind of the dummies of the horse line. They are basically only good for carrying the loads of others on their backs. You don’t really ride them. You don’t really exercise with them. You just kind of use them as labor for work because they are dull. Christians can be mule-minded. Christians can regress to the point where they are of very little value to the things of God—not because God made them that way, but because they have become that way. They have become dull of hearing.64
