(goldy;22088) I thought that Christians can pray for one another. According to your logic, this is a sin. If you truly feel this way, you should never ask anyone to pray for you again. And correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Jesus say things like, "Receive the Holy Spirit. Whoever sins you...

(thesuperjag;22056) Hello Jake, I didn't mean it that way. We are supposed to share the gospel to Christ to unbelievers, as Christ wants every single soul saved. Yes, I've been to a Catholic church once. I ask if I should bring in my bible, (which Christ's Words are in the bible) They said no...

(J.M.;22031) Thank you for responding. I don't recall making any claim the wages of sin was "only" spiritual death, I don't believe that, but I wrote that post a few years ago now so it could be in there. If it is I'll correct that mistake. The point I was trying to make is that man died...

(J.M.;21940) You don't 'get elected' by loving God, you love God because you are elect. There is nothing in the unregenerate man that will cause him to love God, natural man is a God hater. It is true brother that you don't "get elected" by loving God, there is nothing good in us, yet God has...

One of the most popular traditions is that the covenant is a "contract" between God and us. If you read Romans 4 and Galatians 3:17 and chapter 4 of the same you will see that God's covenant is simply His promises. The idea of a "compact" is that God fulfills His part and we fulfill our part. A...
