You are the one who brought up sinless perfection. I'm just repeating the promises and commands related to overcoming and the power of God in our lives. As each character flaw is presented to us by the Holy Spirit, whether it's in the realm of disobedience or habit, or dangerous tradition or...

Been there done that. I doubt however not being a gym junkie i would have accomplished that feat with the same aplomb.

Even though the Lord says they who hunger and thirst for righteousness will be filled, I don't think He meant strive for it. Hungering and thirsting to me means desire earnestly. Covet it. Yearn for it passionately as a treasure to be found. But such a treasure is a gift that comes only by...

I agree with your premise. But the woman, as you say, while through the power of God is able to overcome her promiscuous lifestyle, to her will be revealed other sins and habits she needs to deal with. And as each one is revealed by the Holy Spirit (convicting the world of sin...

Beautiful isn't it. And so theologically sound, and emotionally charging.

The question remains however. "Go and sin no more... is that possible", to which the answer must be yes, absolutely. Because Jesus came to take away sin. Not just the habits, not just the addictions, but sin in is insidious minutest form. Is it possible?? Not is it done yet. Is it...

If God's purpose was inevitable and irrevocable, then t this planet would not be in the mess it is today. Unless you want to claim that it was God's purpose that sin should have such evil effect over all His creation. Those crucified with Christ are those who throughout their lives voluntarily...

Friends and fellow church members of mine minister in Central Melbourne. Mainly giving away food parcels and free literature. There are several different groups doing the same. It isn't an easy work. Australia is a very secular country, very much unlike the United States.

Just to clarify, I understand well that sin began in heaven itself with Lucifer, who stood closest to the throne of God. A war of polemics ensued, with Lucifer seeking worship and the top job. This hasn't changed. Satan still seeks worship, and will eventually receive it from all whose names...

Ummm, where have I suggested otherwise?

Christ died for the whole world. It was always God's purpose that everyone be saved. That's not happening.

@Wick Stick is correct. It is a ridiculous notion to teach that faithfulness and obedience is now acceptable when it was faithlessness and disobedience that caused the death of the Son of God.

God can unseal. They can be removed from the Book of Life if they are unfaithful.

You can lose it by acting against your own conscience. Read 1 Corinthians 8. Paul is writing about a man of faith who is influenced by a teaching that was contrary to his conscience. Whether right or wrong made no difference. He sinned against what he thought to be right. We must, and this goes...

Does that make the thousands of missionaries who travelled throughout the world irrelevant because you say so? What about the Christian Church that began in Ethiopia in Paul's time from Philip's preaching to the Ethiopian dignatory in Acts? What about the missionaries who established the church...

Nor did he go to North Africa.

Agree. To a point. I believe the earth is the limit to Satan's influence. Here is where Christ gave His life. I believe Lewis is correct. Not because of distance, but because of God's set limits. God is still in charge after all. And angels, including Satan and his fallen mob, can travel...
