""First example: - I have put $120,000 on the line to help someone who needed a hand up but, this person did not stand up etc etc etc Matt 6:1-4 1Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. 2Therefore when thou...

I've already stated that>>>>> I TOO WOULD NOT HOUSE HIM 1 Tim 5:8 Paul further reinforces the command from Christ You & I can try & justify why we would not house him till we are blue in the face yet it remains WILFUL SIN. Fortunately we ARE forgiven of ALL OUR sins by placing our faith & trust...

>>>>>""The other Apostles (Eph. 4: 11) were given by the Lord when He ascended to the Father and was made Head of the Body. The Apostles etc were to equip the Body for the work of ministry. (v. 12) The Church "body of Christ" is who believers are 'today' Gal 3:28, 1 Cor 12:13, Col 3:11, Gal...

>>>>"This is works 1 Cor 15:1-4, Eph 1:13 < the saving Gospel today. Believing & trusting in the death/burial/resurrection of Christ for the forgivesness of sin is works ? How so ? *** Not according to :- Titu 3:5. Gal 2:16. Eph 2:8-9. Rom 3:28. Rom 4:5. Rom 5:1

>>>>>"there are a small handful on this forum who claim to have experienced what seems to be an altered state of spiritual consciousness for an extended (though finite) period of time. From GOD or GOD simply allowing them to be tested by 'other sources' ?

If you have room in your home & you don't house a person you know to be homeless, you FAIL at the LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF command = willful sin which I too am also guilty of.

>>>>""how can they therefore have forgiveness of sins ONLY by believing & trusting the saving Gospel 1 Cor 15:1-4, Eph 1:13 for believers today that was taught by Christ ONLY to Paul Gal 1:11-12 who is our Acts 9:15 Christ selected Apostle Rom 11:13 & Minister Rom 15:16

Correct on all 3. ALL saved believers sin in some way either in thought, desire, word, deed or fail to do what is right. Luke 10:30-37 quickly bursts their precious delicate NEVER SIN ego nonsense.

Your resume is irrelevant The command is LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. Your 'neighbor' is ANYONE that you are aware of that needs help that you can provide. GUARANTEE you have walked past someone you suspected was homeless and DID very little if anything. Luke 10:30-31 is a good description of...

cheating on your spouse IS SIN. Some believers PUMP THEIR CHEST saying they would never do that. That they're much better than that yet they when asked about other sin in their life, they make excuses, minimize it, try & justify it, etc etc, glad no-one here is like that :gd

In the same circumstance I would not house him. Why ? Because I'm a sinner, I do a VERY POOR JOB of the LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR as yourself command. Though I remain eternally saved, I will probably suffer loss as a result :- 1 Corinthians 3:15 states, "If any man's work shall be burned, he shall...

Do you believe you are a Christian & if so do you claim you no longer sin ?

There are many who will point out the sins of others yet when asked about their own will either not answer, lie or try to justify that what they do is not really sin

>>>>>""I do not go out into the byways to find people that I can help. Would you ""go out into the byways to find"" a close loved family member that you believed was homeless ?

Do you claim you no longer sin ?

Been there, done that, see that

Agreed. A Christian today is someone who believes & trusts in the death/burial/resurrection of Christ for the forgiveness of their sins . Gal 1:11-12, 1 Cor 15:1-4, Eph 1:13, Eph 4:30

>>> What churches and preachers claim is truth is >>>>SOMETIMES<<<<< not Truth. Ps, I'm UNdenominational

Yet they are now a Christian and no longer agnostic = saved

Do you believe that "Real Christians" no longer sin ?
