I read the tracts, looked up some of the Scriptures referenced, and watched the videos. It's given me quite a lot of things to think about.

If thats how you define sins of omission, then sure. But the keywords are "if anyone knows the good." I don't think were meant to overwhelm ourselves with this. But we deal with the good we know to do one moment and choice at a time. So no, we don't have sin every day. Are you sure? God did...

I believe we have freewill but why do you think free will is important. I did read all your posts. I'm a bit confused. I get that they made him white in paintings but how did they rob the Christians of Jesus? Luke's gospel shouldn't be in the Bible because he isn't a Jew?

If by thought-sin you mean the weird thoughts that pop into your head, I don't consider that sin. Those are part of being in an imperfect body. They can definitely become sin but at that point you have a choice to either dwell on it or cast it down before you act on it. I don't really buy the...

What a sad indictment on churches today. The government shouldn't be more reliable than us!

I shouldn't be surprised but if I think about this too much, I think Id be really upset. What can I say? I really am sorry this happened to you. I know words are meaningless. If you needed help, Id help as much as I could. I mean it. I know I got help when I needed it.

That really bites. At least when I tried going off meds in the past, it was my own stubbornness.

Some people insisted I should get off medication and seek alternative healing. But they are not responsible for the damage that may be done if it fails, so I wish they would be quiet.

I'll be honest, when I seriously consider speaking to them, I get a sinking feeling. I don't know that I'd get a positive response. I love our pastoring couple but they went into partial debt to cover $15,000 worth of carpet and chairs. We have a small membership so we couldn't afford it. I...

Acts 2:45 45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. Could you easily get what you needed from that church? If so, than that's one thing. That's what the early church did. But if you had to give everything but couldn't get financial help still...

Thanks Frienduff! You are loved, Brother!!

I disagree that Paul was talking about his life after conversion. This same Paul wrote "Shall we sin that grace may abound? Certainly not!" No one here claimed to be above Paul. Humility is an honest assessment of yourself. If you are saved by Jesus and walk in the light, it's more humble to...

I agree. I suffer when I'm not in His will too. I think if we do even basic things to God's glory, this pleases God. Better to do something small in obedience than something big that's in our flesh.

Yes, so much trouble I've had for trying to follow my dreams in this world without seeking God.

When did John the Baptist consider himself a sinner? Paul did say "sinners of which I am chief." But the New Testament alone uses the word saint or saints to refer to believers 67 times. The Bible calls us saints over and over again. Paul did not remain a Christian murdering zealot his whole life.

Lol! My late grandfather has a saying he passed down. "If it was a snake, it wouldve bit ya." Usually when you lost something but found it close. He wouldve laughed at the thought of someone keeping an actual snake.

My husband I love our church. But we see the good and the bad. The church has a business side, a huge building to pay for, and prioritizes that and pulpit preaching. Tithes and offering go to that. But the New Testament Church had some differences. -More fellowship and doing life together...

We generally want to be somebody in this world. But Christ made Himself a humble servant for our sake. That's why we rejoice in weakness and suffering. That's what makes us like Him.

I agree wholeheartedly with this. We are saints, not sinners.

Wow. That's sacrificial love.
