    purgatory

    (DrBubbaLove;31960) We obviously reject that the absence of the word "Purgatory" in scripture makes it unbiblical. I don't reject "purgatory" because of it not being in the Bible. I reject it because it's not real. When a person dies, their soul or whatever you want to call it goes to heaven if...

    Asking for forgiveness

    (eternalarcadia;32664) Hey JonJT. God is all-knowing and knows what your going to ask for before you even ask it. Therefore, when we come to him, he already knows all of our sins, it's just up to us to acknowledge that we have sinned. Look at Adam and Eve. God asked "Where art thou?" Not because...

    How much can God take?

    If we have been forgiven, then we are no longer condemned. If we sin as Christians, we will lose our fellowship with Him but not our salvation. "He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins."Unfortunately, we will be tempted to sin, but we don't HAVE to give in to it. Unfortunately, too often...

    Hello

    Welcome to the Board, Brian. I seem to welcoming a lot of Brains lately. Of course, I'm in several Web sites and not just this one. Being retired I have a lot of time to do whatever I want and no money to do it.

    Greetings

    (TenderTrue;32445) I'm already posting in the other forums. I didn't notice this welcome wagon forum until now. :angel9: Hello! Welcome to the Board. I posted several times before coming across this one at the bottom. It should be the very first place one posts, but how can anyone do that when...

    God's name used in vain

    When someone said the name Jesus Christ in a way that it shouldn't be used, I said "Oh, do you know Him too?" You could have heard a pin drop it was quiet. :naughty:

    How to deal w/abuse?

    If I don't know what a person is going through, I don't find it necessary to say something just to be saying something--especially those dumb cliches like "Well, at least you've got four more children" to someone who is burying their child. How dumb of a statement is that? No one and nothing can...

    Is it sin if we eat meat with blood in it?

    We are no longer under the law but under grace. The OT laws no longer apply. If they did, we would be stoning people for adultery, and we would be doing the same with disobedient children. We also couldn't eat pork and other things we enjoy. Of course, those laws were given to the Jews and might...

    people not believing that Jesus died for them

    I thank God that His forgiveness and cleansing is ETERNAL just like the life He gives. If I am given ETERNAL life when I'm saved, how can it be called eternal if I can lose it? That's only temporary life until the next time you sin, which is something we do every day--often without even knowing...

    Judgement only for Unsaved?

    (Red_Letters88;32157) A pastor and I have 2 different views here.I believe Judgement is for all- the dead know nothing till this day. Neither do they enter Heaven or Hell yet.He believes only the unsaved undergo Judgement. Judgement day for Christians is for rewards.Scripture please Our sins are...

    Asking for forgiveness

    (JonJT;32044) When we pray to the Lord and ask for forgiveness, must we name every sin we can remember committing, or is just acknowledging the fact that we are sinful and asking for forgiveness sufficient? I can't possibly remember every sin I've committed. What about when you're first saved...
