James 2:13 NKJV — For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

Jesus willingly agreed to die, a perfect sacrifice to satisfy God's demand for Justice. There is ONE thing that can triumph over Justice. And that is mercy.

but, back to man's redemption. God's zjudgement was that the soul that sins must die. Life for life, blood for blood.. and, since Adam's sin changed his DNA, everyone born after him was born dead....there was no life in us to exchange for our debt to God's judgement against sin, according to...

1 John 3:8 NKJV — He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Every last "work" of the adversary, every pollution of God's "very good" creation will be judged and...

I've been trying to think of a simple response....but struggling to simplify because man's blood, and the Son of Man's blood have a lot of common touchpoints. I don't have the understanding to know exactly why He did things this way, but it seems clear the the Bible teaches us the life of a...

Genesis 9:4-6 NKJV — “But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. “Surely for your lifeblood I will demand a reckoning; from the hand of every beast I will require it, and from the hand of man. From the hand of every man’s brother I will require the life of man. “Whoever sheds...

I kinda doubt the Lord is going to be impressed with someone whipping out a Webster's dictionary and parsing the word "born" for Him at the Judgement.

It's truth that sets us free.

Friend i have not chided or rebuked anyone for getting to a place where death seems preferable to life. Many saints, very honored ones including Isaiah, Jonah, David and Job all reached that point and He did not rebuke them either. Nor have i.

so, I'd certainly hate to meet Him face to face for the first time when my last living act was murder. Not a fun idea...at all. But of all the serious consequences, loss of salvation isn't one of them.

We were purchased by Jesus, at a huge cost....His life. We are now owned by Him. Our lives are His possession, not our own. Taking our own life is taking a life that isn't ours to take...it is murder....self murder.

I had a conversation with @FluffyYellowDuck a couple of weeks ago I might bring to this thread if Fluffy doesn't object. I think I might have bored her to bits with it, but it kinda laid the foundation for the topic of "spirit, soul and body, which relates to understanding why Jesus doesn't...

Here is a recent update on the situation in Israel.....the heat is still on...

Thankyou. I hope to expand on this soon, but committing suicide will not cost anyone their salvation. It's a serious issue for sure, but it doesn't overturn what Jesus did for us at the new birth. I think its an important topic for survivors to understand biblically, which is why I'm...

Lily? When you say "irreversible ", are you referring to loss of life (obviously irreversible in a suicide ) or did you mean something else? Like losing your salvation? I'm curious because it's been on my heart to bring up the topic of our assurance of our salvation.

my neck feels fine btw :)

I think you're a precious treasure the Lord has chosen to share with us :)

Lilygrace, you are never the burden to us you sometimes feel like you are :) please don't feel bad or feel you need to apologize. I am so glad you are here. Always. I really hope one day you'll feel free to just say what is on your mind freely, without feeling a need to apologize for it...

And it's ok if you blow your own mind now and then :) there is a lot new that shows up when He begins to reveal new inside connections and restorations....thank God they're not always horrific...sometimes it's just surprising.. And maybe a little amusing :)

Shattered i have dozens of thoughts running through my head. :) not sure what to focus on first. I will say that KZ54's introduction didn't seem weird or feel odd to me at all. Viewed from outside it all felt pretty normal to me. I'm just rejoicing to see Jesus delivering the awareness of...
