True. Confessing sinfulness and then not forsaking it is hypocrisy. I know that we have the continual struggle between the flesh and the Spirit and sometimes we win and other times we lose. It goes with the territory. I think the difference between a genuine believer and a hypocrite is the...

"Yes Lord, I am honest about being a lying, thieving, blaspheming, rapist, pornography-viewing, adulterer at heart but I know because you are a God of love, you'll just forgive me and let me enter into heaven". Yeah...Right!

I don't see "contentious" in the list of the fruit of the Spirit, but I do see it in the list of the works of the flesh.

Therefore isn't it so important that we share the gospel of Christ with as many people as possible in the hope that they will be rescued from an eternity in hell?

God was making a division between the generation that was leading to David and on to the Messiah, and the other generation that wasn't. God doesn't hate individuals in the way people can hate people which Jesus recognised as murder at heart. Esau sold his birthright to Jacob and suffered the...

Oh well... Good luck on getting solid converts when you share your gospel with them!

:p The Christchurch Earthquake Safety Advocates Society had to cancel their monthly meetings because their building was condemned as an earthquake risk.

Because God has no grandchildren, every child, whether of believing or unbelieving parents is a sinner who needs to turn to Christ of his own volition after being enlightened of the gospel through the work of the Holy Spirit.

It is considered normal in our society because of atheistic teaching, and the teaching of many churches, that Genesis 1 is just a myth and the objective belief the union of a man and a woman for life is no longer society's standard. Replacing it is that a couple can stay together as long as it...

Yes He did. I wasn't accounting for that. I was going to say that God actually designed the human body to work six days and rest on the seventh but didn't previously because I was looking forward to the Ten Commandments. But you are quite correct. God did set up the seven day week with six...

Cobbling random verses together doesn't make your point convincing. So, if the Holy Spirit convinced an unsaved person of his sin, then are you saying that He is judging that person wrongly?

I must be delusional. My mind says I am still 25, but my body won't believe it!!! :p The delusional Scottish hunter thought he was successful, but he went out into the fog and mist! The Delusionist Association had to cancel their monthly meeting because the members believed that it was not...

When it says that God rested, it didn't mean that He was tired and needed rest after the six days of creating, but He stopped creating on the sixth day and set the seventh day as a rest for us. He set up the seven day week because after the fall, the human body lost its immortal perfection and...

All I am doing is initially showing to the unsaved that God is a God of justice who will judge them according to their deeds at the last judgment. This is in line with the Holy Spirit who convicts of sin - that we have all broken the Ten Commandments; of righteousness - that we need to be...

Are you referring to Freud the fraud? :p Similar to Sagan the pagan!!

22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? So am I. 23 Are they ministers of Christ?—I speak as a fool—I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often. 24 From the Jews five times I received...

Whoops! I type too fast for my own good!

It is interesting that in the context, Paul had just finished showing the persecution, opposition, death threats, stoning, prison, and hate poured out at him because of the preaching of the gospel. Then straight after he talks of the thorn in his flesh, which he asks the Lord to remove from...

So, where does the Holy Spirit convicting the world of sin, righteousness and judgment to come enter into the gospel mix?
