For the record. See Matthew 7:1-6.

I feel fortunate to be attending a church where the members of the body express the love of Christ to one another.

A Very Merry and Blessed Christmas to you also, @Grailhunter.

What did Jesus preach? I believe that the Lord was not neglectful to preach on the subject of hell. His very first message, the Sermon on the Mount, contained words that utilized hell as a deterrent concerning sin (Matthew 5:29-30). It was this message that created the first disciples...

Both Jesus and John the Baptist and Paul were among those whose message was to repent of sin. And repentance means that you turn away from your sins ("Thanks, Captain Obvious!"); which means that you don't commit them any more.

Galatians 2:20; 1 John 3:6, 1 John 2:17.

Nevertheless, it is the truth of holy scripture that people will go to hell for rejecting Christ. Should we neglect to warn them? I think that we would be held accountable by the Lord for such lack of love as to fail to warn people of impending judgment when it is about to come upon them. I...

He may have indeed confessed all of them. But if he did, he would not have known his own soul, that it was without sin (1 John 1:7, Psalms 51:7, Job 9:21) and therefore would have never proclaimed it as a reality. See also John 9:41, Isaiah 42:19. Job 9:21, Though I were perfect, yet would I...

Just say, "Thanks, Captain Obvious..."

Know that you are accountable to the Lord for what you preached, James 3:1.

You do not say in post #2 that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh (that He is a Man sitting on the right hand of the throne of God). post #2:

Also, when we take off the old man (like a set of clothing) and put on the new man, the only way the old man is going to get on you again is if you take off the new man and put on the old man; which might take a deliberate action on your part.

I am not saying that Jesus isn't your advocate if you sin. I am merely proclaiming that committing sin is not an inevitability in the believer's life.

@Jane_Doe22, Do you consider it immoral on God's part, that He puts people in hell, who do not receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour (who do not accept His proposal of marriage)? Is there not more to this than meets the eye? In answer to your question, I do not have a daughter; but...

Notice that it does not say, WHEN any man sin; but the word IF is used. And actually, I suggest you look up Ephesians 5:30-32, Romans 8:23 w/ Galatians 4:5-7, 1 Thessalonians 5:23, 1 John 3:5.

However, the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. It is not that obedience is a requirement for salvation, but that faith is the requirement; and that a living and saving faith will set you free from sin. It is important to make the distinction here: because there are those...

reproaching God...not seeing the whole picture. The issue does not only have to do with the fact that God proposes marriage to us. It has to do with the fact that God is just; And the fact that sin causes suffering to others (while often not to ourselves; otherwise it would have no appeal to...

Pro 28:5, Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.

In these statements you are reproaching God. For it is clear from holy scripture that there is a very real hell that people go to if they reject (the real) Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. Jde 1:14, And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh...

I don't believe that man's obedience to God earns his salvation. If that is the case, then salvation is by works. However, such an idea is refuted by such verses as Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 4:5-6, Titus 3:5, and Romans 11:5-6. For those who insist on believing that salvation is by works...
