In this mortal body, one cannot walk after the lusts of the flesh and expect to inherit eternal life. Romans 8 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in...

Jesus did indeed pay the ultimate price for Salvation. Glory to God! Once received, His blood cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness [sin], we lie, and do not the truth: 7 But if we walk in the light [righteousness and holiness], as...

The concept of universalism is not taught in the Scriptures. It's a man made doctrine to appeal to the flesh. The reality of eternal damnation is tough to swallow, but it is what is taught in the Scriptures. Jesus speaking. Matthew 5 27 You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You...

It's true that only Jesus can transform us, but we are the ones responsible for "yielding" to Him. As we yield consistently, and this can take time, He makes us brand new people. I speak from experience, as I don't even recognize the sinful man I use to be, one who could care less about...

I am sure there is much repentance and regret in Hell, but the blood of Jesus' Cross is forever out of reach for them. This breaks my heart, but it's the truth of God's Word.

Trying and doing are two different things. One must perform the latter to inherit eternal life. Hell is full of people with good intentions. Jesus came to show us how to walk in the Spirit to overcome and inherit eternal life.

Just because God shows a sinner mercy in this life does not mean He condones their sinful lifestyle. To the contrary, in my opinion, it merely reflects His mercy to draw people to Himself and away from their sins. It isn't God's desire that any should perish, but that everyone comes to...

The subject of the thread is about homosexuality, which is the world's craze nowadays, so I addressed it accordingly; but I did also cite Scripture regarding the other sins too. 1 Corinthians 6 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived...

One who is born with same sex attraction can become "born again" through Jesus Christ, which means that this spiritually renewed person rejects the practicing of homosexuality and all other works of the flesh. The desire may well still be there, but as with any other temptation it must be...

The Holy Bible reveals to mankind the charater of God. Jesus cited the Scriptures very frequently, so that is our example.

Yes, the list is very exhaustive, so we must yield ourselves to the Spirit so we won't fulfill the lusts of the flesh. Consistent prayer, fasting and living in the Word are the spiritual exercises to keep us rooted and grounded in Jesus Christ. Galatians 5 16 This I say then, Walk in the...

Jesus says otherwise. Revelation 3 1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he [Jesus] that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which...

I have not. I would love to, though.

Friend, nothing defiled will enter God's Kingdom. No whoremonger, adulterer, sodomite, thief, blasphemer, drunkard, sorcerer, liar, ect... will enter the Kingdom of God. Anyone saved by grace who falls back into any of the these behaviors, and many more, has to repent and have their garments...

I absolutely agree. God offered all of His love to humanity when He gave us His Son Jesus Christ to pay the ultimate price, one that we could never pay. The longer I walk with Jesus, the more at awe I am of Him when He walked in the flesh. What a mind, one of complete submission to the Father no...

Temptation and giving into sin are not the same. I am persuaded to believe that many Christians give into temptation because they are taught that a mere thought is sin, so "I might as well do it since the thought came to my mind". This is wrong theology. When satan plants thoughts of sin in our...

Yes, Jesus' supreme sacrifice is beyond what words could ever express. We think of the physical torture that He endured, but do we ever consider the mental torture? Jesus did not flee in His time of great temptation as many, if not all, of us would. Yes, Jesus was very God, but He still was very...

The Apostle Paul and Peter delve nicely into this subject matter, as it's extremely important to the maintenance our Salvation. Yes, Salvation must be maintained. A negligent and slothful believer will surely fall from Grace and lose their Salvation. I am not saying that it cannot be recaptured...

Again, Salvation is a free gift, but cannot be neglected or it will be lost -- just as with any free gift. The thief (Satan) will steal your free gift of Salvation if it is not cared for. This is what the Scriptures teach. The notion that Jesus did everything for our Salvation and so caring for...

Being made free from sin, we therefore become servants of righteousness. A servant is one who performs the duties of another. Romans 6 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of...
