The good word of God does not ever strip man of his free will. This fact should be understood, by the fact that you and I are even able to have this conversation. You are allowed to wax stronger in your beliefs, or to grow cold in your feelings towards God. This is your choice. God will not...

BiggAndyy, I'm sure the Lord says that there were some who knew His will, and did not do it. They receive more stripes, than one who did not. The Holy Ghost is given to Christ's followers, the heirs of Salvation. If you cannot believe that, do a study to see what gifts the heirs of salvation...

Mjrhealth, Open and bold sin was rebuked. And it was made known that hidden sin would be brought into judgment as well. The Pharisees were hypocrites, they had all that coming. And they purposely rejected Him. No one is saying you cannot be friendly to a loved one, or even people you don't...

BiggAndyy, Really? So, God created Adam and Eve, and even Satan but also gave them free will. Is it because God is weak, the Satan took 1/3 of the angels, and most of mankind with him? Adam and Eve were created, good, holy and healthy. They still chose to sin. Was God's goodness to "weak" to...

The Bible makes known what happens when someone dies. When you die, you cease to exist. Scripture is plain about that fact. However, that is not a reason to close your Bible whatsoever. I am not saying, there is no God, and there is no heaven, and that the rightoues have nothing to look forward...

I am not out of context, the reason I needed to post what happened at death, is because he made a mention of being able to have consciousness in death. That needed to be stated, because if you do not understand what happens at the moment of death, that is how you will be duped into believing...

With men, it is impossible, but with God all things are impossible. What I am trying to do, is what scripture tells you. Be ye holy, for God is holy. Keep the Commandments of God. If Jesus is truly within you, you will be keeping the 10 Commandments, no questions asked. Will you make mistakes...

Again, rebuking the world of their iniquity is not finger pointing. It is pointing out the cherished sinfulness of the world. You are a Christian, that is your job. This is why there have been so few men in the Christian era who have been as John the Baptist, or Elisha. They will not a bear an...

The ones who knew the Lord's will, and did it not are not declared to still receive a "positive" reward. To built a foundation upon sand is to build your faith upon something which is not Christ. That is why to some Christians Christ becomes a "rock of offense" and "a stumbling block". The ones...

The fact that they actually received the Holy Ghost, and tasted of the blessings of God is PROOF that they were heirs of salvation. Such is understood by other passages within scripture that they were in fact heirs of salvation, before turning their backs. Notice two good gifts God gives to the...

I commented to the statement you made about hell being eternal. The quotes I presented show you that hell is not eternal. It also comments on what you said about why such a punishment is eternal. I then explained the real eternal punishment -- death -- as it is directly contrasted to the...

"Obsessed with the law" -- Not really, and I find that accusation rather strange, as you are on a topic about The Law of God, specifically the Sabbath. You're right when you say it's about love. But you are conclusively wrong when you say it's not about the law. The Law of God tells you how to...

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. The opposite of life is death, or eternal life in fire? Death, correct? So then, if we choose the opposite of evil, which is righteousness, we are rewarded with Eternal Life through...

I understand what you are saying, but you are in error. The Good Word of God shows that they were made heirs of salvation,but turned their backs and they henceforth have lost their salvation. Yes, in the future is when we are saved, but you get salvation "today". 2 Corinthians 6:2 (For he...

"Go, and sin no more" Yet it was very evident that Jesus knew she was in sin, so He had to tell her, "Go and sin no more". Jesus was demonstrating His mercy upon the poor sinner, and also showing how He would not allow stoning to be done anymore to people. So, when a Christian must point out to...

God is love, you are forgiven for breaking the law. You are not loosed from obediance to the 10 Commandments. That is not love, to be loosed from such an obligation. No one is going to tell me that you actually love God and your neighbours when you routinely break the other 9 commandments. But...

Foreigner, Especially for those who desire to live, as will the wicked gather round the camp of the Saints? How is that peace? Why do you think there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth? That must be an almost maddening experience for the wicked to go through: To behold you could have had...

Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. I think this is pretty clear, as he tells you to work out your salvation. It shows that salvation is dependent upon...
