You seem confused. God does like it when we obey Him, doing good works to show our appreciation for our salvation, and not to try to earn it. Don’t you want God to like what you do? Don’t you want to be approved by God? 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that...

1 Corinthians 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. ————————— Where did you ever get the bizarre idea that...

You can just obey Jesus simple and clear words, instead of putting your trust in violence and weapons. Turn the other cheek. Love your enemies. Do good unto those who abuse you. Pray for those who persecute you. Resist not an evil man. Blessed be the peacemakers. Put away thy sword...

Correction. One US service member may have been shot by another US service member. This is nothing new. Accidentally discharges and homicides have happened in the past.

You have successfully distorted the pacifism of Jesus into glorification of violence. Jesus said just two swords were enough. He did not say all disciples should carry swords. Two were enough, as He said, so He would be reckoned among the transgressors and be arrested. When Peter used his...

Is God protecting Iran? Or the Ukraine?

When did the thief on the cross know he was saved? When Jesus told him he would be with Jesus in paradise? Or when the thief died and faced the final judgment? 1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal...

But enough about me. How do you deal with sin in your life? Do you confess them and receive forgiveness — or do you assume you do not have to acknowledge them because you have automatic forgiveness?

I am made aware of the sins I commit. This awareness comes from scriptures memorized and scriptures I read, plus being convicted by the Holy Spirit. Forgiveness is needed even when we are saved. I do not believe in automatic forgiveness. We do not lose salvation when we sin, but we break...

Your mistake is imposing restrictions on the scriptures that comply with your interpretation.

Saved believers need to confess each sin they commit after being saved. We are not just automatically forgiven, for that would make us hardened and callous toward sinning, if we did not have to acknowledge and admit our sins that we commit after being saved. The “we” and “us” in 1 John 1 refer...

Who benefited when Jesus walked on water? When He passed through a mob that took Him to the edge of a cliff? When He walked through walls to enter a locked room where His disciples were hiding? When Jesus told Nathanael that He saw him under a fig tree? When He calmed the storm? When Jesus...

The hideously false theology of @Behold : look at his unbiblical replies to @complete Behold brazenly negates what scripture clearly says. QUOTE If you say you have sin, when Jesus has become your "one time eternal sacrifice for sin", then you are either lying, very theologically confused...

I understand that you do not exhibit Christian love or correct doctrine. You insult a woman who told you she was done arguing with you, but you persisted in pestering her anyway. You are interested in dominating, not discussing. It is my business because this is a group discussion forum. You...

But there is nothing wrong with doing something for your own benefit. When Jesus ate, drank water, slept, it was for His own benefit. You read the Bible for your own benefit as well as the benefit of others you bless.

This is the brazen language of demons. “Bible worshipers built their church the way they wanted it….the Bible is an idol and the mark of the beast.” He tells you to throw your Bible away, it is just history, and get the Holy Spirit. But he would have never even heard about the Holy Spirit if...

You have no respect for others. You just obsessively keep hammering away at your warped libertine ideology. PS95 told you she does not want to keep arguing with you, but you persist. Telling her “You are so badly instructed that you don’t even…” is an arrogant, insulting, personal attack. Is...

Just because your friend is a believer does not mean she was not bullying you. As a woman, you might prefer to say she was pestering you. But your friend was relentless, which means she wanted to force you, over-power you, manipulate you to do something you did not want to do, which is unkind...

That is a common situation. Perhaps if you simply stated why you did not want to go, she would not have pestered you so much. “I don’t go to bars (movie theaters or whatnot) anymore because…” Your friend was being sadistic, trying to bully you, wear you down, to force you to comply with them...
