    Can sinning can be overcome?

    Jesus can certainly save you from committing sins. That's why he is called the Savior from sin. If you still sin, you are still a slave of sin because Jesus said when he shall make you free, you shall be free indeed. Is anything hard and impossible to God? But because of unbelief, one cannot...

    If a sin hurts another person, is forgiveness from God all that is necessary?

    Hello! You are right that we should only ask for God's will. With your example, a Christian who walks in Spirit would submit to God's will even though it's against the Christian's will and even though that would cause him grief and suffering. He could ask God to cure his mother, but in the end...

    Matthew 7:21 question

    God also told us that whoever does not provide for his own have denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. We really should provide by working while being content with our wages and that's where God's miracle in provision will work. All his commandments are working side by side and...

    Matthew 7:21 question

    (continuation) Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee ? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee ? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King...

    Matthew 7:21 question

    Brothers and sisters, God has given us many passages of what his will is. It’s the opposite of what we humans always do. Evangelism is what most people do because of the Matthew 28 passage. But if you will notice, many unbelievers are turned off by us Christians because of our “Holier than...

    Have I grieved/quenched the Holy Spirit

    Yes, I don't give you my own opinion. I tell you what is written in the bible. John 6:63 KJV It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. It is not a literal voice. The answer is in the bible. You ask and we...

    Have I grieved/quenched the Holy Spirit

    May I ask how you expect the Holy Spirit to answer you? I'm not sure if you want to hear a literal voice or something.

    Have I grieved/quenched the Holy Spirit

    Am I not telling you what the Holy Spirit says? Am I not quoting you the words of God? The Word is the Spirit. So I'm giving you the answer of the Holy Spirit is to humble yourself before God. Ephesians 6:17 KJV And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of...

    Have I grieved/quenched the Holy Spirit

    Would you consider Job as well? I know you are suffering so I'm sure reading Job would give you comfort and hope about your trial. Job 2:3-10 KJV And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that...

    Have I grieved/quenched the Holy Spirit

    I assure you that you will not get an answer except you humble yourself. Have you heard the story of Naaman? How he was angry when he didn't get what he expected when he wanted to be healed? But when he humbled himself and did the strange but simple thing that Elisha commanded him to do, he was...

    Have I grieved/quenched the Holy Spirit

    Did you blaspheme? No. As I said, I experienced this, we can even talk about the whole story of how Jesus healed me. I'd love to share with you if you want to. Are you going to be healed? Absolutely yes, if you would only let God. However, I'm not sure if you are angry with God because of...

    Have I grieved/quenched the Holy Spirit

    Cheer up. I have been like that before. There is definitely an escape. This happens so that we would draw closer to God. Are you reading your bible? I know your heart is broken because of this and have you read that the Lord is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit?

    Do you still struggle with this question?

    1 Peter 2:24 LSB vs NASB95

    He died in our place so that we can count ourselves dead to sin without having to physically die so that we might live righteously by putting on Christ. I am crucified (dead to sin), and Christ lives in me (the righteous one). It's an exchange of life. Dying to self. Whoever loses his life shall...

    Doubt: Am I Really Saved?

    Yes. That is actually the goal of the Word of God, to show us how sinful we are and wretched. I also experienced what you did and Jesus saved me from all my fears. That's why I am compelled to find others who are going through this as well.

    If a sin hurts another person, is forgiveness from God all that is necessary?

    If a Christian performs some Behavior which deeply hurts another person, perhaps even to the point where it drives that other person away from the church as they now associate that pain with christianity, would that be a sin? 1 Corinthians 8:12 KJV But when ye sin so against the brethren, and...

    Doubt: Am I Really Saved?

    That's not a warning. It's a commandment. “Go, and sin no more.” The warning is “lest a worse things happens to you.”

    Doubt: Am I Really Saved?

    Jesus said, “Go and sin no more.”

    Two sides of the gulf: hell and paradise.

    Yes, definitely pride. 1 Peter 5:5 KJV Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Job 35:12 KJV There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of...

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    What makes a believer a carnal? for whereas there is among you ENVYING, and STRIFE, and DIVISIONS, are ye not CARNAL, AND WALK AS MEN? (Fleshly) Let's take STRIFE and ENVYING. Do you still fight with someone and envy others? Apostle Paul described these as carnal mind. Now are you saved if...
