I believe it is at our peril if we knowingly sin, rather than in ignorance. I believe we are in agreement. Absolutely, God created everything "very good" [Gen 1:31] for us. If we use it as He intended it is for us to enjoy without worries. Indeed, just like us, except when we first met...

The key again is that there is a limit as to how far we can push and expect God to continue to grant us mercy. We do not know as the children of Israel did know when they had passed the point of no return in tempting God. We don't know so each time we sin, are testing or tempting God. Peter...

The Blood of Jesus my friend is effectively what Adam and Eve had for it was nothing less than the Holy Spirit of God covering them. They sinned and effectively uncovered themselves for they then suddenly realized they were naked. They attempted to make a covering but it did not suffice. God...

No, my friend, I said that people I knew within the church worshipped Mary including me. As far as I knew at that the church endorsed it. I admitted my error because of my ignorance. I indicated that people within the church failed to teach us better. You did not carefully read what I wrote.

If we do sin the apostle writes: "My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:" I John 2:1 In the OT God speaks of 10 times the people tempted God and for that they lost their ability to...

Am I voluntarily ignorant? At times, for at times I give in to becoming "weary in well doing" [II Thess 3:13]. But, what believer is there that has not done this? So then we turn again to God and along with Jesus say, "nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." [from Matt 26:39]. But having...

Some people do that, some more often than others: "Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel." Psalm 78:41

Yes, I believe so!

But, to avert one's eye means that the person has seen truth and now refuses to accept it. Another person's vision is scarcely ever along the Highway of Holiness precisely the same as our own. This does not mean that both may not be pleasing to God. God is looking more at the heart than at the...

@"ByGrace" You must stand where your beliefs are and change them when He helps you to change them in you, but more important than our individual beliefs as the scripture makes clear is LOVE or CHARITY as per I Corinthians chapter 13. If we really have that charity and we are really becoming what...

The Reformation occurred because while the organized church held things together with their guidelines, they failed to correct too many of their own internal errors... and help believers to grow in accord with Ephesians 4:11-14. Structuring things, including the establishing the Nicene Creed...

"But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment." Matt 12:36 Is it not an idle word to condemn someone who speaks their heart even though the heart may be in error? Yes, I was ignorant, but I was a child. No one in my...

"If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons." Heb 12:7-8 Also consider this conversation: "They answered and said unto him...

I believe that God gave us two choices, which are ours, but they must be made as often as a decision is ours to make. The two are follow God or follow ourselves. Each time we choose God rather than ourselves, we may need help to proceed on His Way, but is the Holy Spirit not available? God did...

Perhaps even that is more room than needed. Remember out of 600,000 Israelites [without counting women and children] who were saved out of Egypt, only 2 made it into the Promised Land. The type or shadow message in that should speak to the hearts of people today. But... if people won't believe...

This, I believe, is what Jesus means when he speaks of coming as a little child. We come to Him openly without preconceived notions. This is the unknown God rather than the one any person or group of people have developed. A child is able to believe God more quickly than an adult who has...

I was there once at that Speakers Corner in Hyde Park. It was December of 1969 or 1970 and I was recovering from a terrible case of bronchitus. With my heaviest winter clothes I was still miserable for it was quite cold. I was out because it was likely to be my only change to see anything of...

It would seem a likely conclusion since you have left the believers in the OT hanging. Where is their salvation?

Not to worry old friend! I have had too many good people oppose my point of view to hold it against them. A more important thing than anyone's doctrine is Charity as per I Cor 13:4-7... Thank you for the blessings!

So then since you did not directly respond to my words, I take it you believe that God is a respecter of persons.
