So you think that Proverbs 28:13 is linked to Romans 4:7? Read Pro 28 more carefully. "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper..." Yes, if you try to cover your own sins, you won't prosper! Romans 4:7 isn't talking about you covering your own sins. It's talking about Jesus Christ...

Not only can but does willfully sin. I'm not suggesting anyone actually go out and try to sin, but every day everyone is committing one sin or another, and knowingly so. I've laid this out before long time ago, but very briefly here it is: 1. The Bible says that if you are guilty of one sin...

Excuse me... Proverbs 28. But Romans 4:7 isn't about Proverbs 28 either.

Psalms 28 has nothing to do with Romans 4:7. Read it as it says! Don't add to it or take away from it. Luke 4:4 And Jesus answered him saying, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

It doesn's say "past sins are covered". It says, "Blessed are they whose iniquities ARE forgiven, and whos sins ARE covered." READ IT AS IT SAYS IT!!!!

These verses say that our sins are covered and we are made righteous by Jesus Christ. Yes, our sins are forgiven, but they are also covered.

Rom 4:7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Rom 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

"Are we supposed to see such pain as an opportuntiy to suffer with Christ?" Yes, as long as its in his name. God manifested himself in the flesh, so he could come down to our level and feel our pain. So maybe the answer is "no".... God came down to our level. "do we see suffering as a...

Good post!

Like I said, it was a spiritual sin (and yes, it was intentional), not one of the flesh. I understand you have a hard time differentiating sins of the flesh and sins of the spirit. Most people who have a hard time understanding grace do because they see what they want to see. It should be...

By the way, Vengle, I don't agree with your belief that sins against the Holy Spirit are "sins you have no excuse not to know is wrong". Sins against the spirit have nothing to do with fleshly actions. Sins against the spirit are spiritual in nature and deal with error in proper and truthful...

Well, you better read verse 28 because that's pretty much what Peter did! the disciples many times during Jesus' ministry were almost clueless. But, they were being taught. Their understanding was growing.

Vengle, Like I said, you've made so many mistakes in your post it's too tiresome to address them all in complete detail. I will not try, but ok... I will point out them. First, you stated something to the effect that grace only covers past sins that one repents from, and not sins that you...

The reason people seem to defend homosexuality (which I'm not... It is a sin and there's no getting around it) is because it 1. prevailent today, and 2. because in most people's minds it is one of the "big sins". People aren't willing to admit that grace covers that too. Everyone loves the...

What again? I've discussed most of these verses in the past. For example, Hebrews 10:26 is talking about one particular sin of the spirit which is listed in verse 25. 2 Peter 1:9 is dependant on having certain traits listed in the preceding verses. If you don't have those qualities, then you...

There is so much error in your post, Vengle, that it is hard to know where to begin. Your opening statement is totally untrue and everyone of the scriptures you list is taken out of context. I won't even bother.

And no one who ever looked at a Jaguar car or another woman's shoes either and wished they had it! And all those who looked at another man or woman and lusted. And all those who stole a paper clip from their company! And anyone who has gotten drunk once... All burn in the lake of fire...

No problem.... I forgot to add that if I had children that were 17 and under, I'd monitor and/or limit them in such situations. However, I'd do the same in personal meetings as well. If a boy wants to take out a daughter of mine, I'm gonna meet him first! ("What if a son of mine wants to...

Sorry, can't do. I can love beyond demonations, and I can encourage each other. I can even love enough to give an athiest, Buddhist or Muslim a bite to eat if they are hungry. But I will not put love above doctrine. Christ's doctrine was Truth. I ain't gonna lie to them in the name of love...

Pretty good answers. I like most of what people here said. I especially liked Vengle's explanation that the Law has spiritual principles, which we need to meditate on. I'm still trying to figure Vengle out because he's fairly new to this board (and I don't think I've seen him around on other...
