Repentance is turning from away from sin unto God. Thus becoming righteous.

2Co 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. Apparently the punishments will fit the crimes, with God weighing/judging all the surrounding circumstances as well...

Yes. Notice that they were spared because they REPENTED and began to worship the one true God.

Not rightly dividing AGAIN. It's talking about believing Gentiles as opposed to Jews who all heard the Law for hundreds of years but weren't all necessarily being doers of it. Believing Gentiles never heard the Law and hadn't been taught by it, but when they received Jesus they nevertheless...

Again you are not rightly dividing. It says it would be more tolerable for those heathen cities....it doesn't say they would be spared from perishing.

You aren't rightly dividing the word. Who is "anyone else"?....we were all one of them.... lost and in unbelief, until the Lord apprehended us and revealed Christ to us. Which He will do to anyone He is showing mercy to. There is no other way to be saved. There are vessels of wrath and...

.....that whosoever BELIEVETH ON HIM might have eternal life. The gospel is His mercy. And the Lord has mercy on who He wants to have mercy. Who He is having mercy on will have the gospel revealed to them. I'm not judging anybody, just speaking out what the bible says.....not my words or...

It's not me judging. We are called to love. I was once lost too. I have loved ones who are not saved and I don't judge them either, my heart breaks for them. My desire is for the lost to be saved. It's all over the bible sister. There is NONE that doeth good. We all like sheep have gone...

Those who in FAITHFUL continuance do what is right......will be accepted by God. Not apart from FAITH in Him. If anyone is to be saved, He WILL reveal Jesus and the gospel to them, one way or another. In Acts, I think it was, it talks about Paul preaching and all those who were ordained to...

God's ways are higher than man's ways....He doesn't see things the way we do. Paul wasn't lying when he said "in me, that is in my flesh, is no good thing" and Jesus said, "why do you call me good, there is no one good but God." All the unbelieving will perish regardless of whether they were...

One's own human righteousness (so-called) falls short of the glory. It is wood, hay, stubble that is corruptible (subject to decay) and doesn't stand the test of fire. Whatsoever is not of faith is sin. Unregenerated inner man (ie, without faith) is in a fallen state....fallen humans are like...

I think willful sin implies deliberate as well as knowing...? Someone can lose their temper, knowing that it is sin, nevertheless they forgot themselves for a moment and blew their top...it wasn't deliberate. There is grace for that if the person repents. It doesn't necessarily mean the whole...

There is a difference, I believe, between inadvertent sins and willful sins. James wrote that "we offend in many ways all". But not when we are walking in the spirit as Paul wrote.

Hi, I agree that as believers we're aware that "now we know no man after the flesh", and "the flesh profits nothing", so in one sense we pay genealogies no heed. But since there are these genealogies in the gospels, surrounding Jesus' lineage, they must be there for a reason and not something...

Your hard work is appreciated brother. I'm sure it takes more 'grey matter' to be conversant with so many writings of others, than it does to only be conversant with one's own thoughts. More humility too. I wish more Christian men would take the time and make the effort to become familiar...

There's no need to be crude, you really should edit that. I gather you are denying a virgin birth took place? or did they have the know-how to do artificial insemination back then? What is your explanation if there was no virgin birth...you would have to deny the word of the God. Mary wasn't...

It's getting late and don't know how reliable my thinking is at the moment, but a father can give either a y or x chromosome...whether resulting offspring are male or female they are still that father's offspring/descendants. GOD didn't specify patrilinear lineage in those verses talking about...

I guess you are not familiar with this passage: Rom 9:17-21 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have...

But "Who are you o man to talk back to God?" He chooses who He wills, in fact He creates according to His own will. He is God, we are not, He created us for His purposes, and "fairness" has nothing to do with it. In the kingdom of God there are greater and lesser just like in earthly life...

No, I agree that verse is talking about a biological descendant. And Jesus' mother was a biological descendant of David, so that verse is fulfilled through her lineage.
