    Do not ask God for forgiveness

    Some people... they see only right and left among others. There is a whole other axis they miss. There will not be any guessing my place right or left rightly while I can still point out that this country is facing a lot of trouble, and Trump will only make things worse, while some are blinded...

    This is almost a test question

    Forgiveness was not paid for with the atonement that was for redemption. It was justice, that Christ bore for those who would be redeemed. God is already forgiving, and wants to forgive, God cannot compromise righteous judgment, and none was, with the sacrifice in God's plan. God does not wish...

    Deconstruction Lite - (light?)

    That's an interesting perspective, and by that I do not mean that it is wrong. But I see faith meaning something further, it is with trust that can be acted on. It would not be without evidence for basis, that would be unreasonable for anyone, but that faith is needed as we cannot see everything...

    The Frightening Reality About Sin and Repentance

    There is no escape from sin without the repentance in faith which God recognizes and accepts with those having that coming to Christ.

    Deconstruction Lite - (light?)

    I do not think asking questions leads to atheism. Some are prone to turning from God when they cannot find answers to some things. But I, and there are many others as well I am sure, asking questions, and what I have still is answers to some things though not everything showing me God is there...

    IF YOU BELIEVE WE CAN LOSE OUR SALVATION, PLEASE GIVE ME THE VERSE/VERSES THAT MAKE YOU BELIEVE THIS.

    God cannot be fooled and is all-knowing. Those God saves through Christ with their repentant faith are saved, and will come to the everlasting bliss with God.

    JOHN 11:25 THE RESURRECTION

    I cannot judge what any others think. But what truth I know can be said. Jesus is the resurrection, as he said, the source of resurrection we might come to, but believing we should do to come to him for that is with faith that has our repentance to turn from sin to the way of God. And then we...

    The enemy attacks are too much sometimes.

    Dependence on God and provisions from God strengthens one. Dependence on anything otherwise weakens one.

    Bible readings with Richard Inman

    If we are not managing to read the Bible ourselves hearing it read and listening to it being read is really great and helpful for us. There should be change in our character with life in Christ and the Bible is really important to this.

    What's left after I have thrown everything away? (some may wonder)

    Faith is not the essential faith without repentance, and awareness of sin, which separates any from God, should be made, so something revealed from God is needed, which is needed from God, while awareness of God should already be there, and all should have that, there is no excuse not to, though...

    When Jesus returns at the last trumpet, death will be swallowed up in victory and there will then be no more death, which will fulfill Isaiah 25:8.

    Prophecies for future fulfillment are for different times, and some are easily fooled into misunderstanding scriptures from that. There will be no more death after this world with the restoration of creation in the new earth. There will be more death, there, and then. No creatures, which come to...

    "I Will Not" Because I AM a Christian

    I can conclude that voting is a psyop. Nothing truly gets better. Sure things swing back and forth between Democrats in greater force in the government and Republicans in greater force in the government, but it never swings back to just the same. There is not much real representation. Very...

    Take heed and beware of the leaven (doctrine) of the Pharisees and Sadducees (False Teachers) today.

    Maybe we need to be careful, yet more, about our assumptions, with watching out for false teachers. No teacher is flawless, unless you are talking about the great teacher, Jesus. What if all teachers are false teachers? Teachers will get some things wrong, even if not most things. Doubt this...

    Put Christ where he belongs

    I am not mistaken. You do not know me, and you would be wrong to say I never speak with God's name. And I know, while not critical of those calling God Jehovah, that Bible translations are not with the name correctly shown with "Jehovah" shown in them. It was not actually the pronunciation.

    Still the same

    Belief in the trinity of God, the triunity that is the heavenly Father, the Word that is incarnate as the Son, and the Holy Spirit, is not essential in faith for salvation, in the gospel for us. I would not divide with others over the understanding of it. And there are more significant...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Having another doctrine does not mean having another gospel. Everyone, and I include myself, would be wrong about something. Most generally it would be eschatological views. No one would miss having salvation over that. But none of eschatology would be called doctrine anyway. But we can have...

    Seven questions to ask yourself before posting

    Using the internet needs to be with being cautiously aware, that we do not give up our thinking for ourselves. I think there is connection of internet connection to observed decline of intelligence in the human population.

    Still the same

    Christianity now is not the same as what Christianity was at the beginning. But the gospel of salvation is the same. What is believed about God's trinity is not part of it and one is not saved, or kept from salvation, by what is or is not believed about the trinity. We are separated from God by...

    WAYS THAT AMILS GET ZECHARIAH 14 WRONG

    Jesus Christ, the prophesied Son of Man, returns at the coming battle of the nations against Jerusalem and that is the context of Zechariah 14, so those events in it are very likely at that time.

    Put Christ where he belongs

    I do not think it matters to the salvation of any whether they understand Jesus is God or not. But it is important to know it is through Jesus they have salvation and to repent from sin in their life in being restored to God, to come to God. It is most consistent to understand he is God, and...
