Not so. They died. “…that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.” (Luke 16:22-23). It even says the rich man lift up...

Believers must test everything with the Word of God. Going off our feelings or our heart alone is not a good indication of whether or not we are of the truth. We need to be born again spiritually whereby we will not have a mindset to justify sin. We justified sin as a part of our old life. So...

The story of the Rich man who went to torments is proof there is a hell (if you believe Scripture).

This is turning God’s grace into a license for immorality (Jude 1:4). God’s grace teaches us to deny ungodliness and that we should live righteously and godly in this present world (Titus 2:11-12). Jesus warned about how sin can destroy our souls (Matthew 5:28-30) (Matthew 6:15) (Matthew 12:37)...

You criticized me and another poster in another thread about whether or not we keep the 1st greatest commandment. I have heard these types of questions before by those who believe they can sin and still be saved. You also gave a “like” rep to the OP that is against Sinless Perfection (with an...

So if you believe you can cease from sin then why did you give a ”like” rep to the OP on their denial of Sinless Perfection?

I already laid forth my case of what Romans 7:14-24 and I know you reject it because you prefer the idea that you can sin and still be saved on some level (i.e. you say that you don’t become unborn by sin - implying you can sin and still be saved or that you don’t lose salvation by sin). The...

Again, loving others will not help you if you believe and teach that sinning does not make a believer to face spiritual death. Jesus taught this in Matthew 5:28-30, Matthew 6:15, Matthew 12:37, Matthew 25:31-46.

Because you say you don’t become unborn (Lose salvation or endanger your salvation) when you sin. You also gave a “like” to the OP in that it is against Sinless Perfection (Which is going against the Bible’s teaching on overcoming sin in this life - 1 Peter 4:1-2).

Even Christians face the pain of death in being persecuted for Christ. One of my favorite scenes in a Christian film that I love is when Polycarp is martyred for his faith. I also hope to share in the sufferings of Christ in the Lord's timing (When I have finished my race and have fought the...

Then why did you give a “like” to the OP (the original post of this thread) in that he was against Sinless Perfection? If you believe we don’t continue to serve sin then why did you approve of Johann’s stand against Sinless Perfection? This means you are for continuing to serve sin if you are...

My apologies. I did read that wrong. You are correct on this one particular point. It does say ye became (past tense) the servants (slaves) of righteousness. They obeyed that doctrine (the gospel of grace) and just like Abraham believed the promise and it was accounted to him as righteousness...

@marks 1 Peter 4:1-2 1 “Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; 2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of...

Jesus says, “This is the first and great commandment.” (Matthew 22:38).

1 John 5:2 ”By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.”

No offense, you do err not knowing the Scriptures or the power of God. This power of God is to overcome sin. We also are given another commandment that we are to keep in the New Covenant. 1 Timothy 6:10-14 10 “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they...

Did you not try to convince me that you yourself do not keep the 1st commandment all the time and you implied that others cannot do this, as well?

Most Christians I have run into who believe as you do will say unbiblical things like, “We cannot stop sinning this side of Heaven.” Are you in disagreement with them?

So you believe saved Christians overcome sin in this life? I do not get that impression from our discussion because you believe Paul struggled with sin in Romans 7:14-24 as a Christian. What is your interpretation on 1 John 1:8? I get the impression it is like most other Christians who say they...

But you spoke up as if I was not aware of it when I was in fact aware of it. If you believed I was aware of this, you would not have said anything to the contrary.
