the love of God is the essence of life, because God is love (1John 4:8; John 17:3). i was an old sinner, but then i got saved by grace, and i'm not an old sinner anymore - i am a new creature (2Cor 5:17). i am made up of three parts: spirit, soul, and body (1Thes 5:23). my body is my...

Genesis 2:17 KJVR (17) But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. if God says 'do this and you die' and people do it anyway, then i think it's safe to say that the death penalty is not a deterent...

i should have been more precise by saying "...permanently rejecting..."; this was my intent my point was that, in my understanding, the scripture you referenced does not clearly justify the belief that 'saying that any person has an unclean spirit when that person has the indwelling of the Holy...

the "He" referred to in verse 30 isn't any Christian; it is Jesus. John 14:6 KJVR (6) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Rejecting Jesus makes one "subject to eternal condemnation"; true? GLY!!!

Mark 10:15 KJVR (15) Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. it's all too easy to forget this Truth when debating doctrines. little children quickly learn to do what their parents tell them, when they tell them...

i have used none of those slurs in my posts to you - nor have I condemned you - and most importantly God is not condemning you either (John 8). you can't 'stop that homosexuality' any more than a sick person can 'stop that being sick' - it's God's role to heal, save deliver. what i'm trying to...

i believe they can try (although it's not them but the devil they are yielded to - even if they don't realize this) - but it's up to me whether i receive curses or not - 'it will be unto me even as I believe' GLY!!!

no opinion to offer - just truth - 'by His stripes i WAS healed' - 'He forgave all my iniquities and healed ALL my disease'! BUT - we aren't reborn in Christ with a mind fully renewed in this truth. If it weren't for doctors and medicines, many Christians (including me) wouldn't live long...

this has nothing to do with homosexuality - this applies to any form of deception - you are a new creature in Christ - you are not homosexual - but you have not renewed your mind to this truth because you have not died to yourself - you have not put yourself last behind God and then other people...

Thank God He's selfless toward you - try focusing on getting your relationship needs met by God alone and you won't be consumed by how people treat you - you'll only want them to know the God who is more than enough for you all by Himself - your focus will shift from what you need to what they...

Exodus 33:18-19 KJVR (18) And he said, I beseech thee, show me thy glory. (19) And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy...

Good point about God's chosen fast! Isaiah 58:5-7 KJVR (5) Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD? (6) Is...

"But I can't help how I feel ..." that is one of the devil's most seductive lies - you are not a slave to your feelings IF you are reborn in Christ: John 14:1 KJVR (1) Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. This is not a suggestion - it is a command from the...

i vote 'other' because i believe we enter into heaven - life eternal - the instant we are reborn in Christ. to me, the concept of 'heaven' has little to do with the mansions He has for us to live in, or the perfect weather, health, etc. that most people think of when they think of 'heaven' -...

This isn't about homosexuality, it is about faith - believing God. You can believe God in spite of what you mind, body, emotions, experience, and the world says about you - this is the key to salvation - not only for the eternity after your physical body dies, but also for this life. Brother...

purpose of water baptism: to make Jesus manifest (recognizable) to the people of Israel in that day: John 1:29-31 KJV (29) The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. (30) This is he of whom I said, After me cometh...

actually, that's just a symptom that will change effortlessly as he gains knowledge of God's love for him

two things jump out at me as i read your post: -you're having trouble recognizing the Love that GOD has FOR YOU -you're having trouble recognizing the Love of God IN you FOR OTHERS as it wells up towards someone God wants to minister to THROUGH you i wish i knew a better way to say this, but...

Romans 11:19-23 KJV (19) Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. (20) Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: (21) For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare...

The issue here isn't about sexuality; it's about 'purposed unbelief'. When i read Romans chapter 1 i can see no room for an interpretation that would allow a 'homosexual' (practicing or not) to be justified in their homosexual belief - God's Word is clear on this area - He calls it an...
