    King David was saved before he committed his sins of adultery and murder. But when he sinned, he lost his salvation and needed to have forgiveness of God to be restored back to the LORD. #1. Numbers 35:16-18 says it only takes one act of murder to be a murderer; And Leviticus 20:10 says it...

    Why did Jesus warn about how sin can destroy our souls in the afterlife? I would like to stop and read Matthew 5:22, and Matthew 5:28-30, and Matthew 6:15 several times in prayer. Ask yourself: Do you really believe these words by Jesus? It should scare you to death that you don’t believe these...

    And…. It’s not Scripture. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17). Faith does not come from listening to hymns or secular worldly sayings from popular teachers nowadays (that are contrary to Scripture). Again, what do you do with the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:22...

    It does not really matter if it was a picture at your church. Your church is not infallible and or above God’s Word and or the standard of all truth. Again, I actually thought you were initially Catholic based on your avatar because it is hallmark tradition of Catholics do to that on forums (By...

    Keep reading, and you will see this: John 3:20-21 “For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” In other words...

    So… then why did Jesus warn us about how sin can destroy our souls in the afterlife in Matthew 5:22, Matthew 5:28-30, Matthew 6:15? Even Paul says you can deny the faith and be worse than an infidel (unbeliever) if you do not provide for your own (1 Timothy 5:8). Not sure how many of you dance...

    John 6:37-40 says, 37 "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath...

    That is not a Scripture verse or passage that explains what you said. In fact, your words here do not explain away the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:22, Matthew 5:28-30, Matthew 6:15, etcetera. We will be judged by the words of Jesus on the last day if we do not receive them (John 12:48). John...

    Proverbs 30:20 says: “Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.” Isaiah 5:20 “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for...

    Does God expect us to obey the hundreds of NT commands on day one of our service to be saved?

    I don't believe we can understand the Scriptures without the Holy Spirit, either. But we need to make sure that when we were saved by God's grace that we have not accepted another Jesus or accepted another gospel in the fact that it calls us falsely to think we can later abide in some level of...

    Does God expect us to obey the hundreds of NT commands on day one of our service to be saved?

    No. It's called believing the Bible. 1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Psalms 66:18 says, “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:” I really don't think addressing...

    Does God expect us to obey the hundreds of NT commands on day one of our service to be saved?

    We are saved initially by God's grace without works (Ephesians 2:8-9) (cf. Ephesians 2:1). But God's grace is not 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). What you call...

    I have been a member of various different Christian forums over the past 10 years, and I have ran into “Sin and Still Be Saved Type Believers” like yourself over the years. In fact, it is the predominant viewpoint that is pushed on most general Christian forums. Yes, you are not “Hyper Grace”...

    I am not sure why you would ask such a thing seeing you can simply Google it. It's not like we are living in the 80's or something. Besides, anyone who has been studying the Bible for any length of time knows there are many New Testament commands. Sure He did. “Hear, O Israel, the Lord our...

    Ephesians 2:10 says: “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” Okay. You have a special talent in misunderstanding people and making an imaginary case against them that they have never made. I was not...

    Does God expect us to obey the hundreds of NT commands on day one of our service to be saved?

    I think we need to read all of the context in Colossians to see what is going on (Instead of just reading this portion of Scripture out of context). We have to first keep in mind that this is talking to a body of believers at Colossae. Paul does not know who in that church is risen with Christ...

    A slave to righteousness is a person who does righteousness. See 1 John 3:7. A slave to sin will not abide in the house forever (John 8:34-35) (Matthew 13:41-42).

    Does God expect us to obey the hundreds of NT commands on day one of our service to be saved?

    What you see as a lack of mercy, I see it as rebellion. I believe God can be merciful to us, but we have to be willing to turn from our sins and to live a holy life. Those believers who have disposition to think they must sin and still be saved on some level having a wrong view of grace...

    I am not saying that God will do so according to His what His Word says directly, but we do know God can blot a person’s name out of the book of life in Revelation 3:5. Was a person who is in the book of life seated in heavenly places?

    In the Parable of the Sheep and Goats (in Matthew 25:31-46): We learn that those who did not help the poor in this life were told to go away into everlasting punishment. Those who did help the poor were told to inherit the Kingdom. Nothing is stated here in this Parable as to the reason why...
