Sin- causing them to view each other's nakedness with lust.

These days I am like the Pope. Maybe I am a snob like him, because when I'm in the shower, I look down on the unemployed just like him!!

Nudity doesn't do anything for me. I hate the thought of people pointing and laughing at my shrivelled insufficiency!!:D

Around 20 years ago I contracted alopecia and became as bald as a badger. When that happened, God did not take the righteousness of Christ away from me. The Scripture: "Those who wait on the Lord shall rise up as eagles; they shall run and not be weary, and shall walk and not faint" (Isaiah...

Ask for and receive the gift of tongues. It is the best gift for intercession. When you cannot put the burden of your heart into words, tongues provides the language to convey the mind of the Spirit to God in direct communication. If you haven't received the gift, PM me, and I will show you...

Yes, we can choose life through Christ, who is the Tree of Life for us.

The bottom line with being involved in forums, is not how others use it, but how we use it ourselves. As in the case of motor cars: We know that there are idiots on the road creating danger for other motorists, but if we are not being idiots on the road, we can keep ourselves safe by being a...

Some of the images I see on this thread concern me. They look like New Age mysticism images to me. I was also concerned that someone is equating the Bible as part of that mystical knowledge that is overruled by faith in Christ. The Scripture says that the just shall live by faith, not by...

The purpose of a site like this is to provide fellowship, comfort, exhortation and edification for Christian believers, and a platform for those seeking to know how to get saved. The vast majority of contributors know that this is the purpose of the forum. Debate and disagreement, even if they...

We can't get into heaven on the basis of our good works. Good works leads to self righteousness, which is sin, and a kind of arrogance that we can show God by how good we can be for Him to accept us. The problem with that is that it is impossible to comply with the whole Law. If we could...

That's more like it! :) Does that reference refer to an actual Sabbath day, or does it refer to our rest in Christ - that we no longer have to depend on our works to be justified before God, but we can rest in Christ. What this could mean then is that our Christian lives are just one long...

Hebrews 12:3-4 says nothing of the sort! It says: 3 For consider him that hath endured such gainsaying of sinners against himself, that ye wax not weary, fainting in your souls. 4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin: Maybe you need to read your Bible a little more...

What I've learned is that if I went to a large church, I would be spending my life rotting away in a pew with nothing to do. As an older person in a large church with mostly younger singles and families, I would be just an old has-been who is seen and not heard. But finding a small church...

It was so different when I moved to New Brighton in Christchurch in December 2019. I went to the local non-charismatic Union church and found six elderly ladies and one gentleman. The visiting preacher was a Presbyterian lady lay-preacher who preached a Christ-centred sermon. I was welcomed...

I was converted to Christ in a suburban AOG church in Lower Hutt, New Zealand, in 1966. It was the noisest, most lit up church in town. It had a congregation of over 400 people. People sang the songs and hymns with all their hearts, spoke in tongues, prophesied, and I saw people being...

Good to hear. I should have read this post instead of the previous one! :D

You are right that if a person wants to follow Moses he has to follow every single law, right down to the last jot and tittle. Just one infraction under Moses brings condemnation and death. Just one angry or lustful thought will be a breach of the law, resulting in death. I think that...

I'm 73 years old, so what do I think about? Being 74.

Anyone who tries to follow all the requirements of the Law will end up frustrated and discouraged, because there are so many commands, that one could end up chasing his tail for the rest of his life, and then find out at the judgment that he spent his life barking up the wrong tree!

For those who take Calvin seriously, which many of the OSAS people do, if they read Calvin they would see that Calvin says that people who think they can freely sin after receiving Christ, are fanatics and he would firmly correct such people.
