    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    A different kind of death.

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    Perfect really has nothing to do with Him giving his life. God so loved the world....that has something to do with Him giving His life.

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    Perfect...dead in our sins?

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    There are several speculative explanations for this. The best I have heard is that Christ was having problems getting disciples and there are scriptures telling of the excuses they were giving....pertaining to their family. This many have been a statement of exasperation.

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    I agree with this as a whole....but we are not going to be perfect....not going to happen.

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    It is really not up to me or up to you. What is good and what is evil and sin is defined in the Bible. I do not need to tell you to read the Bible.

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    Actually this conflict is much broader. The issue is that people do not understand the religious literary style of the time period. Christ used it and most of the Apostles used it. They talk to the extremes....you will see people debating on topics, presenting opposing scriptures from the same...

    Mask Control: Prove COVID-19 exists...I dare you!

    Florida Governor Ron DeSantis threatens local government with $5000 fines per violation for requiring their employees to get vaccinated. I am glad he has taken this action. The article below is more of the propaganda of lies. The truth is that the vaccines do not prevent Covid. So many people...

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    Repent compared to regret. I was going to damn the creek but I repented.... Decided not to. I regret putting my finger in the mouse trap... When I decided to be a Christian because I believed in Christ....and wanted to follow His ways and examples. I repented my past life and regretted the...

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    Personal beliefs on how to observe Sunday...the Lord's Day, I have no issues with. Whether Sunday is a Sabbath is debatable. For me I am not a Jew and Judaism is not my religion. The Mosaic Law demanded the death penalty for incorrect observances of the Sabbath. The Sabbath was Saturday and...

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    Regret is the more correct translation and is also used in the New King James Version. Repent can mean several things, but regret fits this conversation better. Philemon 1:14-16 14 But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that any favor you do would not seem forced but would...

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    2nd Corinthians 7:6-12 6 But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus, 7 and not only by his coming but also by the comfort you had given him. He told us about your longing for me, your deep sorrow, your ardent concern for me, so that my joy was greater than ever. 8...

    Southeast Missouri 65 degrees and drizzle at 3:51 PM and the leaves are falling.

    Confusing, yet familiar

    If you do not try, it will never get done. Not trying is bad advise. Freewill makes this so. Do the best you can to be good and do good and ask Christ for help with that. Walk with Christ everyday. Talk with Christ everyday. Fellowship with Christians and praise the Lord.

    Confusing, yet familiar

    Ferris is great but @Heart2Soul is your point person. Do not listen to false teachers and prophets. (Singling out a member is not allowed) You are going to have to find a church...no harm in perusing. Find one that has a friendly spirit and worships the Lord with zeal. If you need to be...

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    You know I had a friend in the military that was telling me what his childhood was like. We were sitting in a Kentucky Fried Chicken in Weymouth, England, which is actually a funny story in itself. But anyway his parents were druggies and constantly fought and were in and out of jail....And I...

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    Ok, go sell your daughter as a sex slave. Sooo call this a correction and training in Christian righteousness. If you sold your daughter as a sex slave and had to look at her life, the sorrow and shame you would feel would be because of your Christian righteousness. For a Jew that would look at...

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    I understand the concept of the time period....but that way of thinking or spirit has no place in Christianity. Even as a tudor it set a bad example.
