The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant teaches us there are consequences for our actions, but Christ's death in our place purchased our forgiveness and His shed blood cleanses us from all sin, so legally we have no debt to pay. Quote from Believers Commentary on Matthew 18:35: The application...

Spoken to Pharisees under the Law of Moses and prior to the better Covenant of Grace. People can still tithe if that's what they have decided in their heart to do, but under the better Covenant of Grace there is no compulsion or obligation to. This was strong meat to the Judaisers and if they...

Anyone who preaches and teaches compulsory tithing is ignorant of the New Testament instructions on contributing to the work of ministry. God Loves a Cheerful Giver 2 Cor 9:6-8 …6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap...

God gives sufficient grace to enable sinners to respond positively to Him and extends His offer of salvation to all. Mat 5:44-45 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you...

No-one can pay for their sins. That's why Christ came to be the Lamb of God slain to take away the sins of the world. 1Pe 1:18-25 Forasmuch as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers...

The Bible that contains the Word of God as written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. 2Ti 3:13-17 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. (14) But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you...

So you are not a Bible-believer.

Since you are so convinced of Universalism, it seems to me, Pneuma, that somehow you have allowed yourself to be conned by a deceiving spirit into believing the doctrine of a demon: 1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to...

Universalism means the exile from Eden, the Great Flood, the issuing & enforcement of the Law, the Babylonian Captivity, and all of God's penal judgments are immoral. Revelation 5:13 depicts all Creation, good or bad, righteous or unrighteous, in heaven or not, as acknowledging and applauding...

Hi Earburner, I am interested to learn how you reconcile your insertion assertions with these verses: 2Th 2:3-4 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, (4) who opposes and...

Don't forget about the Tamakis, Brian & Hannah, of Destiny Church notoriety. Hannah is the leader of the Vision NZ Party. Quote: Vision NZ is a political party in New Zealand. It was announced on 23 May 2019 by Destiny Church leaders Brian and Hannah Tamaki.[1] The party, led by Hannah...

Hi Brakelite2. Thanks for the opportunity to provide some balance on the subject of our Prime Minister and her agenda. ["Jacinda's Join-us Agenda"] Our Labour Governments have a tendency to pursue Marxist policies. Former Labour PM Helen Clark declared herself an atheist, and implemented as much...

Jesus solved the problem of mankind not being holy. Yes, I'll go along with that. Remember those "JESUS IS THE ANSWER" stickers...some people who saw them said, "Ok, but what's the question?"

Scripture says we should not let sin thwart us, which it can easily do, but we should lay it aside and faithfully continue following Christ to the end. Heb 12:1-4 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which...

You say you solved it? Puzzles are solved, so are mysteries, equations, and problems, so I'm wondering what exactly did you solve, Behold?

Are you for real? Nothing I have said in my posts remotely suggests I think what you think I think. Ignoring you from henceforth.

Here's the thing, Truther, I've always agreed with the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world meaning it was always God's predetermined plan, as per Acts 2:23, and haven't said anything contrary to that or to you, Truther. Quite the opposite, Truther, and once again since you have missed...

What? Did not. My point is that the thread by virtue of its title "Was the death on the cross necessary?" opens up issues that border on adding or subtracting from God's Word which God has commanded not be done or face consequences.

Good memory verse, this one: Act 15:18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. Some more: Act 17:24-26 God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. (25) Nor is He worshiped with men's...

Also, the whole discussion borders on flouting the Scriptural prohibitions against adding to or subtracting from what is written in God's Word. Deu 4:2 You shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall you diminish ought from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD...
