Good to see you!!

Lol

There is a balance for sure. We can be edified and encouraged by faith Christian's wisdom. We just have to test everything by the Word of God.

The devil is the defeated one. Not us.

God bless you, brother. I know you believe that this is okay but you are decieved. Insult me all day if you wish. But I don't wish you any harm. I hope God showers you with material and spiritual blessings and one day we can laugh about it all together.

And you are displaying patience that is remarkable. It is inspiring. I agree that we should pray for people in love, always. It looks like I now have the opportunity to have forbearance.

I should make a satire news article: Man takes a vow to do literally nothing to ensure avoiding works based salvation. "Yeah, I just figure its all about grace and the finished work of the cross. So I quit my job and decided to sit in this empty apartment to show that its nothing we do and all...

I would say, "Time for a snack!" But I do hope you come back.

I know you mentioned this before but Im interested on how you answer people who believe this.

You are loved, Lambano. Regret is such a horrible feeling and one I know well. I just don't think God wants us to live with that and carry it around. Every day really is a new day. My life is blessed now but it wasn't always. I almost ruined my marriage. But in that pain, I learned that the...

Thank you. Peter is fascinating. He cowers from a little girl and denies Jesus. But when Jesus restores him, he's different. He's the main one who boldly proclaims the gospel in Acts. I believe that the things we struggle with the most are the things that give us the authority to speak about...

The only thing that comes to mind when I think of sins of omission is this verse right here: James 4:17 17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin. I agree that this is hard. But it's not impossible. I don't think the Bible speaks to us in terms of " you...

Maybe the definition of what sin is. Sin is lawlessness. It is to miss the mark. I also thought you'd explain what you meant by "sins of ommission" in the other thread. I know Im of the believe that you can eventually stop sinning. But I still want to hear your thoughts on the whole sins of...

I like this. I think Jesus says a lot of things that we are tempted to dissmiss today.

I don't think we should be mainly following the ten commandments but we should be following what Jesus commanded: Love one another Give to the least of these Witness and make disciples I agree that not enough churches teach the importance of giving to the poor. If we don't, we'll be like the...

Hey brother. Ill look into your thread. I don't know about this "sins of omission" idea but if you can back it up with Scripture, Ill change my opinion. I don't actually care if people know they still have things to work on. I just think we should slow down before we speak directly against the...

Theologians have led me far far away from a biblical understanding of grace, faith, salvation, and assurance. I don't say this flippantly. I used to love them a lot. I loved Calvinism and was influenced by a lot of Calvinist teaching. But theres not one of them who get everything right and...

I get that you feel strongly about this. But the reason we get rid of sin isn't so we can feel better than others or reject our need for Jesus or crack a whip over ourselves. The reason why we get rid of sin is so God can use us in the specific calling He has for us. So we can be vessels of...

I don't understand. If we speak patiently and reason with the Scriptures, thats not sin.

You become just like Christ. In fact it's now Christ living in you. You are still you with your unique place in history. But you change. Yes, you can realize the new man in this present life. You can reckon yourself dead to sin. You can put on love, joy, peace, and other fruit of the Spirit...
