Absolutely. This keeps us obedient, humble and practicing Christians. We cooperate with his graceful act of forgiveness. This is what I was saying, we are moving through time, moving through His forgiveness. He had to put it in terms of our physical dimension. But He operates outside of time...

When you are born again. You are "in Christ", there is no sin in Christ. However, you still possess the flesh until you die and sin dwells on its members. Growth is in the knowledge of Christ and His word, the fruit of the Spirit, our character, behavior, etc. A born again person does not...

Well, in a sense when a Pastor or Priest baptizes someone who confesses their sins and asks for forgiveness, he declares his sins forgiven (on behalf of God, who forgives them), dunks his head under water and baptizes them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. We ask...

You make good points. The totality of the purified person _ in heaven _ is all that is good about them.The fleshly stuff is left behind. You won't need to be told who your parents are. It's not just traits and character you'll recognize. You will see them as they looked as a young adult, only...

Absolutely But the verse distinguishes between body and soul. We are taught the soul is the heart of man, the invisible, non- physical you. God says He has a soul, therefore it is not aohysocal part of you. We are made in His image. That means we have a mind, will, emotions and our personality...

Hi BarneyFife, It's always good to read your well thought out responses, kind and considerate. Thanks for your words. The Bible says more wisdom is gained from funerals than weddings. When we sit there and contemplate death, then we think of the meaning and value of life. It amazes me how many...

You think I should apologize to her. I am a forgiving person, it's just that she needed a rebuke. You know how heated disbutes go, people cool off and later make amends. I can, but I am also okay with dusting the dirt off my sandals and moving on. She bashes Christianity and our " white god" she...

Right, the bottom line is without God, life is vanity of vanities and chasing after the wind. Unbelievers have nothing. And that is blunt jump to that conclusion - it's always been fault of mine, being blunt.

Matthew 11:28-30 is one of my favorites!

Really good advice. I have prayed for this woman ... but you can tell where a person's door is open and when it is shut. However, a gifted person has better antennas than I do. Reminds me of my Mom, rebellious up to a few days before death. Lot's of folk are bankrupt when they are about to die...

I have been nice to her and her dogs for 6 years walking, having superficial conversations, staying away from religion and politics knowing what she believes and who she is. Nice stays superficial. Once you enter into rough currents it becomes difficult to steer. My son-in-law is an atheist. I...

Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Eph. 4:11 I have been a Christian for 33 years I don't have it. I never led anyone to the Lord as far as witnessing or in a ministry where the person prayed and received...

Maybe you have the answer by now, but if not, here it is. Hades is not the Lake of Fire ( Hell). Hades and Death itself will be thrown into the Lake of Fire and destroyed at the Great White Throne Judgment. 2 Peter 3:10 describes the same event. If Hades is thrown into the Lake of Fire (which...

Only physical bodies or what's left (dust) are in the graves, not a person's soul. Christians go directly to heaven: "To be absent the body is to be present with the Lord." Stephen was stoned to death a d he said "Lord receive my spirit". Right now, not in two thousand years. Jesus said to the...

OKAY, You understand that The Body of Christ is not called the Israel of God - which is Replacement Theology. You also understand that according to Covenant theology, God is not done with Israel! A remnant population (1/3) will be saved when the fullness of the Gentiles comes in. That is about...

And I would add that when it comes to judging the unsaved, the judgment is likely proportional to the severity of the sin. Hitler being responsible for 20 million deaths would likely receive a more painful punishment than someone who murdered one person. ??? I don't know, maybe they all get...

True, sins against God and murder are on the same list as dishonoring parents, commiting adultery, stealing, bearing false witness, and coveting. But it seems there might be an order of severity in the Ten Commandments, #1 being the worst and then lesser as they go? Obviously Christians may lie...

THE BIRTH OF CHRIST September 11th 3 B.C.? By Dr. Craig Johnson If Revelation 12:1-3 is to be interpreted in an astronomical way, then there was only one day in 3 B.C. where the “sun clothed the woman” with the “moon under her feet.” This was from about 6:15 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. on September 11, 3...

And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Matt. 10:28 Hades ( and everyone in it and death will _ at the Final White Throne Judgment _ be cast into the Lake of Fire and be destroyed. 2 Peter 3:10 aligns with...

It is not a win for secular society. Sixty years ago they took prayer out of schools. I don"t remember any teacher every teaching from the Bible. Only Catholic schools did that. Public school was about reading, writing, arithmetic, history, science, etc. Religion in the last century was always...
