    You don't love Jesus because you yourself admit that you freely do those things which made it necessary to suffer and die an unspeakable death on the Cross. Sin is your master, not God. Accusing those of us who hate sin for what it did to Jesus as equally guilty as YOU will not deliver you in...

    MJRH, the reason why you claim I don't know Jesus is b/c my version of Jesus is different than yours. My version is a Jesus who says to the repentant, "Go and sin no more, " a direct command to us from the Almighty Himself Who paid an infinite price with His life for our sins debt. Your...

    How do you know that the voice you are hearing is from God?

    You preach "sloppy agape" aka "cheap grace". False preachers have strengthened the hands of the wicked so that they dig in their heels and refuse to turn from their wickedness by promising eternal life to them while they yet remain in sin, as in the days of Ezekiel 13:22 KJV. Actions...

    Exactly. There are millions of people who claim to be believers but they are headed for the wide gate to hell while believing they are heading for the narrow gate, and this is due to their spiritual blindness caused by their master Satan, who by their actions (their refusal to obey God's eternal...

    The Interpretation of the Rich Man and Lazarus Parable

    So, your body literally goes down, the Spirit literally goes up to the "God Who gave it", but "thoughts perishing" is a symbolic phrase? Wrong, friend. Genesis 2:7 KJV proves that the Living Soul exists only as a consequence of the union between the Body and teh Breath of Life which in turn...

    The Interpretation of the Rich Man and Lazarus Parable

    Of course there will be a future fiery, burning, blazing hell, in which the wicked are cast, suffer according to each's sinful deeds, and then burned up and out of existence. Plenty of Scripture supports this. I'm interested in hearing whichever verse you believe supports what sounds like to...

    Acts 5:32 KJV says the Holy Spirit is given "to them that obey Him". Whatever "presence" comes to a person living in sin, you can be assured that it isn't holy. A believer does not hold onto sin when the Holy Spirit calls him to repent, else he ceases to be Jesus' friend and commences to be His...

    Nor does He do so among believers, as well. Proof? Jesus well believed His Father, yet He had to pray, "Not My will, but Thy will be done." Does that sound like compulsion on the part of the Father or surrender on the part of Jesus? Anyone who is depending on some Cosmic Rapist to force them to...

    It sounds like to me that you you don't want Jesus' example in your life. Jesus said, "Not my will, but Thy will be done", but you seem to say "Not THY will, but MY will be done unless YOU force me to do otherwise." Yes, a born again believer is no longer a slave to sin, cannot sin because...

    Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary, which was written in a time before public religious exercise and display had become so despised as it is today, has as its 3rd entry: 3. "Favorable influence of God; divine influence or the influence of the spirit, in renewing the heart and restraining from...

    And the Bible differentiates between the believer who stumbles while daily growing in grace and striving against sin with him who professes to believe but deliberately continues to live in sin with no intention of seeking victory over it. Grace is always proffered to the first but never the...

    You're preaching a false Gospel that says grace applied to the heart does not change us, just God's opinion of the sin we continue to commit. Grace changes us completely. That's what "new birth", "new creature" and "born again" means. You now no longer plow forward headlong in servitude to sin...

    JAN, while this thread is intrinsically tied to the Sabbath issue because it puts forth the idea of "Christian rest" - the popular idea used to excuse the dismissal of the command that we literally rest on the seventh day of the week - it is not my intention to debate the Sabbath here at all...

    We can do "all things" through Christ Who strengthens us. Nobody is holding a gun to your head forcing you to do things that made necessary the horrible torture and death of the Savior you claim to love. You do them b/c you want to.

    Sorry, but the diff is that you distort the meaning of and cling to one text while I embrace the whole Bible in its proper context, as proven below: Romans 8:33 KJV contains the key operative word "forgiven", which is past tense, which refers to sins that we, by God's divine power given to us...

    JAN, the truth is that anyone who has two brain cells to rub together recognizes that we are never at liberty break the letter of laws while we strive to keep the spirit of those laws (no one thinks he may hop in bed with a married woman as long as he does not look upon her with lust) --- except...

    If your "personal relationship" with Jesus consists of daily breaking His heart by doing things that made necessary His unspeakable suffering and death on the Cross in the first place, then you're "personal relationship" is actually an "abusive relationship" and I don't like anyone abusing my...

    Heb, don't hand me that "nobody can keep the commandments" garbage. The smoker who claims he can't quit would quit cold turkey if a gun was placed to the head of his child and he was told that next time he lights up, the child dies. The reason you slaves to sin get so bent out of shape at...
