    Study to show yourself approved

    May the approval is of yourself, have you studied enough to be able to say, I’ve been through the scriptures and you know what you are talking about? The thing about it probably pertained to the Old Testament, and not particularly the new (in that day in age); do you have any thoughts on that...

    Study to show yourself approved

    Must have been Timothy. Good question. Paul was writing to Timothy so that he would study to show himself approved. @Waiting on him It’s just important for us to study the word I believe.

    What has Jesus done? What are some of Gods promises?

    Jesus has saved all people from death, sin, hell, the grave, Satan and his demons, the wrath of God (it was poured out on Israel in 70ad) (Side note: though you don’t have to accept that it is just part of my belief and faith) To be saved to the kingdom of God one needs to accept the death...

    Homosexuality Being Accepted And Embraced By Christians

    Jesus has saved all people from death, sin, hell, the grave, Satan and his demons. To be saved to the kingdom of God one needs to accept the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, it would be beneficial for them to grow and know the living God and the Son Jesus Christ which...

    Homosexuality Being Accepted And Embraced By Christians

    I’m gonna leave it up to God to judge. I have no right to judge or condemn anyone. Thank you for your time, and dialogue. True believers will end up changing but that change will come by and through the heart, to have love for God and love for others being lead by the spirit, to have...

    Defining Proper Language

    @Wrangler they did die spiritually, all people are dead spiritually until they let God and the Lord Jesus Christ into their life.

    Homosexuality Being Accepted And Embraced By Christians

    What I’m saying is that Jesus paid for every individuals sin in the world. Do you agree with this? Many people do not believe that Jesus death covered all peoples sins. They need to receive Jesus to be saved. But the truth is that all peoples sins have been paid for, they just have not received...

    Homosexuality Being Accepted And Embraced By Christians

    Johnpaul, What I’m saying is I don’t know. Some may have, some may not have. To be saved to the kingdom of God one needs to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ who died, was buried and was resurrected having faith and trusting God. That faith will bring about having love for God and love for...

    The faithful and the saints: Bringing Calvinism and Arminianism together.

    I’m not obsessed with it. It’s just the truth, my friend. Your flesh sins, my flesh sin, her flesh sins. Paul talks a lot about becoming dead to sin, He also talks about his flesh serves the law of sin, but with his mind he delights in Gods law. You personally can not stop sinning completely...

    The faithful and the saints: Bringing Calvinism and Arminianism together.

    Enoch, To me that deals with living by the spirit more than your flesh. Paul stated that with his flesh he serves the law of sin. With his mind he delights in Gods law. Therefore it’s a heart matter yet no one can get rid of the flesh until they die. It’s better to accept the fact you will...

    She is 60 years old now, @Lambano. She simmered down a whole lot. I have a brother and sister too. It was always just me and her growing up, unless Jeff or kristy or the grandchildren where brought over.

    The faithful and the saints: Bringing Calvinism and Arminianism together.

    Can God makes fallen mankind’s sin perfect in the flesh? If that was possible for him wouldn’t he have done it so already? When it comes to people cussing, drinking, using cigarettes, and they have faith in Christ ? Isn’t it the individuals freedom to do as they choose in their relationship...

    The faithful and the saints: Bringing Calvinism and Arminianism together.

    My teacher told me if you can get it in your head that you are unable to become righteous and realize that Jesus is the one who makes your righteousness because of what he has done you will be far ahead of those who believe that they can make themselves righteous before God, he struggled with it...

    The faithful and the saints: Bringing Calvinism and Arminianism together.

    In Colossians 3 you can see where Paul talks about considering the members of our bodies dead, such as anger, wrath, slander, malice and putting on a heart of compassion, or that is paraphrase. However you, and me and us all have to remember that it is a constant dying of ourselves to those...

    The faithful and the saints: Bringing Calvinism and Arminianism together.

    Thank you for expanding on your differing definition of forgiveness. It would be in a sense of letting go, ie; pardoning. This is what John was baptizing for in the Jordan River. For the remission of sins. Strong's Concordance aphesis: dismissal, release, fig. pardon Original Word: ἄφεσις...
