Why? What was the need for this?

I do want to add something a bit hesitantly. I have been around a few with a LOT of tattoos, and have noticed they almost have an addiction to getting inked. It is not just the tattoo. It is the getting the tattoo that draws them as well. Does this ring a bell with any here? When I said it was...

Do you remember what Paul said about eating meat that had been offered to an idol? To the man who thought it a sin, it was a sin to him if he ate. To another, whose heart did not convict him, if he ate, he did not sin. Human nature wants to categorize actions as sin or not sin, but this is...

It would seem from the following verse and your take on it that you think the gospel is... 1. Repent 2. Believe but no number 3. Is that correct? Endurance is not necessary, correct? And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In...

Actually, I have been sharing the message God gave me to share, the same message that set me free from the angry and sin-bound 'old me' for fourteen straight years now. Yes, I have been accused of being 'a bit' stubborn, lol. And you are right. A whole lot of seed has been cast forth, and scant...

I would like to ask all reading or contributing to this discussion to consider something. This is a post about salvation and sin, and if a lost person came here and read each post here, and tried to make sense of it all, their heads would explode, lol. We are like the builders of the Tower of...

People who say that all sin is willful sin must have not ever had a battle with an addictive sin, whether it be drugs, sex, overeating, porn, gambling, alcohol or the like. These are sins that are in the Romans 7 category. The ones you love and hate at the same time. The ones you truly long to...

i wish you the best as well. blessings to you Addy, Gideon

Just one thing to think about. If I am in error, even if my intent is good (and it is), all that happens is that it makes saints temporarily feel guilty but does nothing to affect their eternity. Right? However, if I am correct, if sin can harden hearts and cause men's faith to die, leading...

Mark, Jesus tells us to watch, for the enemy of our souls is out to steal from us. I am certainly not espousing being so self critical that we do not walk in the rest He has for us. But I do not think it an exaggeration that the accepted adage that holiness and entire sanctification will 'just...

Hello my friend and favorite Canadien critic! I hope the day finds you well. So, if you would be so kind, I would like to know your interpretation of the verse I shared. Why would God include over a dozen serious warnings in the Word if we have nothing to be warned about? As to why God visited...

Why? Because we have an enemy trying to rob us. The book of Hebrews has some of the most explicit warnings in the entire Bible as to our need to be vigilant, and the enemy knows this. So he has concocted a twisting of truth to somehow try to convince us that these warnings somehow are not meant...

I have stated before, I have nothing against you and refuse to join your insults and false accusations. To do so is simply to lower myself to a fleshly level which can in no way glorify the Lord and I refuse to do so. All I know is that Jesus said you will know them by their fruits displayed...

I began this post with a deep sorrow for what I was seeing as far as growing attitudes within the body of Christ. After 14 pages of replies, my sorrow has only deepened and my concern for our current state is even more grave than before. I am neither Democrat or Republican. But what the current...

LOL, probably a bit more diplomatic than my answer. I like it.

Actually, I just saw this post. Here is my perspective on tattoos. Remember when Jesus was questioned about dietary laws and said it is not what goes into your body that defiles you, but what comes out of you? Well, I believe the same thing applies to tattoos. We want to concentrate on outer...

Absolutely. According to the parable of the sower, good seed is sown. And the good seed sprouts. And if weeds choke the life out of it, what is the result? Why would Jesus share the parable of the sower? Why would He say that to whom much is given, much is required? We have seen the gospel...

Your mean spiritedness is plain for all to see and reflects your heart. Now, answer clearly. No need for a PM. Let everyone read it. Are you accusing me of being a heretic? A simple yes or no will do. I am praying for you. be blessed, Behold. I mean that. Gids

Why are you always dancing around what you long to say but do not have the nerve to do so? To what end? Regardless of what you assume about me, I love the Lord with all of my heart and believe He is fully able to keep that which I have committed unto Him until that day. You do realize...

How many warnings will it take to awaken His own to the truth? Our faith is not a one time prayer but a living relationship whereby we are to grow up into Him in all things. He has given us spiritual armor. He has assured us that He will not allow us to be tempted beyond our ability to resist...
