God has been teaching me service. I am meeting more and more people/friends who don't have cars in a small town which requires a vehicle to get to most places with little to no public transportation. God has been teaching me not to complain and to count my blessings--I HAVE a car! I am...

Well, true. It depends on the kind of anger. It says anyone who is "angry without cause" because there IS righteous anger... but yet. In general it's sin--just not always. It's an emotion. Yeah just go with my larger point... that one comes with a technicality that could be debated, but it would...

Ezekiel 33:18 Maybe it would help to define what sin is. There is a lot in the world that is not sin but people feel condemned by it... for example, anger is not sin. The Bible says "in your anger do not sin" therefore it is possible to be angry yet not sin. Another thing to note is that there...

TexUs, What is it that you believe? You've been debating our arguments, but I'm not sure I'm clear on what your position is. That Christians can sin? ("Can" meaning have the capability/capacity to) Or are you arguing something more than that?

Well, you asked how I deal with those verses, so I told you. To the woman who was about to be stoned Jesus said "I do not condemn you, go and sin no more" God would never ask us to do something we were incapable of.

It's okay, I used to believe the same as you just a few years ago.. I thought that a Christian tries to do the right thing but doesn't always because "we're human and nobody's perfect" I'm going to work from the bottom up. 1 John 1 is talking about us claiming that we have never sinned. I...

Hahaha, waiting for me? That's funny! Not sure what you mean by seeing my introduction, but that's ok. Well.... I grew up going to a christian school, so that's where my foundation about knowing who God is... but as I got older I started going to youth groups--and I was fortunate enough to...

Truthful 1 WOW! Praise God for you! I agree with every single thing you've posted. The church does not believe this anymore. The gospel has been so watered down to think that we can keep on sinning and God is totally fine with that because "He knows we're human." I remember reading that "I...

The prophesy that God gave the prophets was not by any means gentle. God is a just God. He does not shrug at our sin. God hates it. His wrath is coming to the earth when Jesus returns. The Bible says Jesus is going to be killing people, running around with a sword, soaked in blood so much so...

Wow. We believe so alike--I LOVE it! (And it's based on the Word, not on our opinions) I believe we can have all the gifts too! (only saying "can" not "do" because not all of us take hold of them all and practice them) I guess what I meant by putting up this post was to ask Christians who...

Well in that case: 1) Realize you have broken God's perfect standard (aka the 10 commandments) we are not any better off than Saddam Hussein, Hitler, Osama Bin Laden... we have ALL sinned and ALL deserve Hell.. and are headed there without salvation.. 2) Know and believe that Jesus payed...

Knowing saved from unsaved is the same as knowing a peach tree from an apple tree--by it's fruit. John 15:1-11

Thanks!! That makes a lot more sense now! (I'm only a college kid, so I don't always get abstract language... haha) I also think I was just confused at what exactly you were responding to since my original post had to do with asking for advice on how to develop my spiritual gifts more... but...

I believe it was referring to each meeting time--one given faith, one given prophesy, one given gifts of healing... just a thought. We are all capable of all the gifts, but I know that some gifts are given permanently. But I think that in the church that's the way it's supposed to...

2 Timothy 4:2 2preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. 3For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in...

So... instead of summarizing and clarifying you choose to be sarcastic? How is this helpful?

RE: Surf Rider That was full of scriptures and poetic and all... but I didn't understand your point--at all. Sorry.

We're all supposed to preach the gospel! :) So... we're all preachers! (Should be)

The way to settle this "war of words" is to "avoid godless chatter" (1 Timothy 6:20)... just let it go. If your friend wants to believe that, then that is his convictions... by arguing that it's okay for women to wear pants only destructs both of your faith. I think sometimes we get so caught...

I'd like to hear why you answered what you did... and if you have one, share your latest evangelism story. What went right, and what went wrong? Also... Please share what stops you from sharing your faith more often. (Even if you answered that you share everyday)
