When we are told to "repent", this is different than confess. Confess and repent are two different things. It is true, we are encouraged to confess our sins, both to God and to one another. And, it is good to confess our sins.However, repent (the kind we are told is necessary for salvation)...

(thesuperjag;49014) You know, you misinterpret on what I'm saying, but I'll get technical again.If I were to die in about 10 minutes from this post, does it make me that I already died for the second time? No, that will be the first death. Will I still exist in life? No I will not. Do you not...

Oh, yes I have family who won't take responsibility for things the way they should, even after much grace, and much pain. Neither seems to wake them up. It is frustrating.Father, do what you can... and work your might works in our hearts. (specifically for By His Grace's concerns please).

(archierieus;48764) Jesus often had to deal with extremes. The Pharisees were totally caught up in the OT laws. Jesus said to them that they needed to believe and accept Him as the Messiah. He was not saying that it was okay to murder, to cheat, to lie, etc. But for the Jews, the HUGE issue...

I believe that in the simple fact that God created everything... He had to have also created evil. That doesn't mean He is evil, or even practices evil. It simply means that He created it, and I have no problem with that.God created all things, and He says what is good, and He says what is...

The only contridiction's in the Bible are in our translations of it. It's an amazing thing that God did for us in the Bible.

(ForYou;48673) I find it pointless to look into life for reasons God has already told us. We were made.We were there by God. There is no way we could just somehow be created. Our teacher has taught us about all the DNA. The structure,the types of RNA,how it is transfered it wold be impossible...

:amen: Praise the Lord for this!

Feel so helpless... sometimes when you're trying to break someone of their evolutionary brainwashing... it's just like hitting your head against a brickwall.I was studying to major in biology before we decided to take a different route... but these things always confounded me how someone could...
