“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." Matthew 24:36

I enjoy a cigar and now and then. I personally do not feel convicted over it, other believers might and there is nothing wrong with that. The amount of Coca-Cola I consume is a lot more damaging than the cigar I have every once in a while. The way I attempt to keep a balanced and healthy life is...

I'll be praying for him.

Psalm 122:6-7 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you be secure. May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.”

From my own personal experience, if I'm feeling annoyed with someone it's more of an indicator of what I need to work on rather than the other person. Some of the questions I have to ask myself are, am I being patient? Am I walking in love? Am I being understanding, etc. People are people and I...

No, using drugs is not a good idea to draw closer to God. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Draw close to God and He will draw close to you. We grow close to God by His Word.

John 6: 53 has been abandoned by the church: Jesus said to them, "Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. unless one has communion they're not saved. See the issue with using only verse to back up a doctrine? I work in...

1 John 1:8 "If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us."

Welcome to the forum.

Yes, I believe someone can defend themselves. Those who are claiming that all they need is God and Bible and mentioning the Apostles, etc. are acting self righteous and really don't follow their own logic. How so? Because everyone claiming that locks their doors at night when they go to sleep...

Please read 2 Samuel 12.

If people do not obey Jesus it's not only a guaranteed trip to Hell, they're already on the broad road leading to it. People love darkness more than the light. We are not innocent people and none of us deserve salvation. Is God wrong for judging the sins of a person? When it comes to the topic...

I would look at the example of King David when God had the child he had with Bathsheba die. (2 Samuel 12) 2 Thessalonians 1:8 - In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

All those that the Father give to Jesus. Ephesians 1:4 "Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes." elect: picked out, chosen.

What you describe here is clear and gives us the foundation to your question. Thank you. Now we can accurately address the thread. Jesus is loving, merciful, and just. We tend to focus on those attributes more. With love comes a hatred of sin. With mercy comes a withholding of judgement. And...

I'm straightforward and sometimes that comes off as rude. Time is too valuable to beat around the bush, my apologies. I'm a work in progress, still learning in many areas myself.

Many don't like what the Bible (God) has to say. "Almost every natural man that hears of hell, flatters himself that he shall escape it; he depends upon himself for his own security; he flatters himself in what he has done, in what he is now doing, or what he intends to do." - Johnathan Edwards

No problem.

The simple answer: Yes.
