    Our sins were forgiven after believing in the Lord, but why do we still often sin? How can we finally escape the bondage of sin?

    "Our sins were forgiven after believing in the Lord, but why do we still often sin? How can we finally escape the bondage of sin?" This is a very important question. It makes a lot of sense. The answer is Romans 7. There are two stages of being a Christian. The first stage is when you accept...

    Newbie - unsure

    Hello Vimes. I'd like to give some short answers to your questions. What is it to have faith? Faith is believing in something that is unseen which influences every aspect of our lives and every decision that we make. You can find what is faith in Hebrews 11. For example, God warned Noah about...

    I'm torn by Luke 17:33 and the need for self-preservation.

    Hello brother Stephan. When Jesus said Whoever seeks to save his life shall lose it, he really meant it. I could only say this by experience. I used to fear life, worrying about the future. I'm just poor and I live in a 3rd world country. I grew up being relatively poor. But then later got a...

    Can sinning can be overcome?

    Hello! In the Old Testament times, the Israelites were never able to completely obey and fulfill the whole law because of the flesh and the flesh being under the bondage of sin. So we see the problem is they were in the flesh and the flesh is weak and can never obey what the law requires...

    Removed Thread.

    Hearing the voice of God means obeying what he commands in the bible, not hearing a literal voice. His people obviously heard the voice of the false prophets but did not obey them. John 10:8,27 KJV All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. [27] My...

    I Have question

    Is this what you're possibly looking for? The whole chapter 1 of Matthew it traces the lineage of the Messiah back to Isaac, the son of Abraham. Matthew 1:1-2 KJV The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. [2] Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob...

    Blasphemed God's Spirit?

    I don't think so, really. To me, it happened to the purpose that I would draw nearer to God, to seek his righteousness and his kingdom, until I have found it. I truly believe God wants you to do that as well, to seek his will alone and learn what he teaches you. Have you tested yourself whether...

    Blasphemed God's Spirit?

    Hi Daniel. Thanks for sharing! That definitely sounds strange, at least to me, but may I ask if you've been reading the bible and since it's been 5 years already, I wonder if there were things you tried to do to remove it, or did you ever ask God to remove it from you?

    Blasphemed God's Spirit?

    Hello Daniel. I'm now 30 and around your age I also struggled with blasphemous thoughts against the Holy Spirit. It started when I was spending a lot more time with God. But now I'm already past that very difficult stage and now at peace with God. Do you remember how it started? The good news is...

    It is a bad idea but I think about it anyway

    God said, Woe to those who call evil good and call good evil. Since you said everything, then you could also say that lie is a dual edge sword. I could lie for good reasons. I could also murder for good reasons. I could fornicate for good reasons. Pride is pride, and God said he hates the proud...

    It is a bad idea but I think about it anyway

    Matthew 5:28 KJV But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 KJV Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters...

    It is a bad idea but I think about it anyway

    Is the goal of your plan to help you to abstain from sinning (enjoying media and lusts)? If you want to live a holy life and get as much reward in heaven, then your plan of being in monastery would not fulfill these desires. Before you witness, have you considered your life first if it is...

    The source of quarrels and conflicts is not God nor His Divine Nature.

    To share something from the title itself, the source of quarrels and conflicts I believe is the fear of death, knowingly or unknowingly. People say, “Put your mask on first before you help others,” this proves that for fear of death, people become selfish and want to save their lives first. They...

    The source of quarrels and conflicts is not God nor His Divine Nature.

    To me personally when I accepted Jesus when I was 13, I started to read his word and that created in me delight in his word. So when God gave me delight in his word, it also created in me the will to obey his commandments, however as time went on, around when I was 23 onwards, I started to...

    The source of quarrels and conflicts is not God nor His Divine Nature.

    Oh! My heart is glad to know that it gave you some new perspective! Here's where Jesus tells more about what you are experiencing: Matthew 5:3-8 KJV Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [4] Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. [5] Blessed are...
