    Understanding : Hebrews 12:6

    Hebrews 12:6 deals with God's "Chastening". So.....The first thing to know about our born again Relationship to God, is that God never charges sin to you ever again if you are born again. Why not? Because of 2 reasons.. 1st.... The born again...are = "not under the law, but under...

    Bible Study: Saved From, Saved To — Understanding Salvation in Its First‑Century Context

    Introduction The message of salvation is often presented today as if God is still preparing to pour out wrath on the world. But Scripture shows that the wrath Jesus and John the Baptist warned about was tied to a specific people, place, and time — the first‑century generation of Israel. This...

    Who is Following the Devil?

    People who support this are following the devil: Haitians and Syrians aren't enough. Now Trump is going after people with disabilities: MSN

    The Wages of Sin is Death, Jesus died a Death none other could.

    Questionnaire for the Bible Study ; The Wages of Sin is Death, Jesus died a Death none other could. If the wages of sin is death and Jesus died a death no one else could, doesn't that mean sin is taken care of? Yes — if the wages of sin is death, and Jesus died the death no one else could...

    Jesus destroyed the "sin", the Holy Spirit destroys the "guilt" - (God destroys the "disobedience"?)

    Hi there, So just a simple progression: Jesus destroyed the "sin", but the Holy Spirit destroys the "guilt". In other words, Jesus makes our spirit free, but the Holy Spirit makes our spirit strong. We may not be ready to be obedient to God, but the Holy Spirit ensures that our strength is...

    Revelation 13:12 says "everyone on earth, will be forced to worship the beast", does that mean everyone on earth needs to repent? (refuse to repent?)

    Hi there, So I took a very little interpretation of Revelation 13:12 and I came to the conclusion, that since I am on Earth and at war with the sin in my members (as Paul says in the letters), I am at the very least going to be tempted to worship the beast. Now, I thought about it and thought...

    If you had faith but backslid, one of the Devil's darts have got through and you are doing nothing about it? (hurt?)

    Hi there, So this is what I would call a clinical diagnosis of backsliding: you had faith, but then a dart of the enemy got through your armor and now you are doing nothing about it. Does that sound about right? The point is that the faith, is simple; it is not the Spirit that separates us...

    This is the difference: believers ask for their soul to be resurrected, non-believers ask for their sin to be resurrected (deciding?)

    Hi there, So listen, I was struggling with a sin/a temptation for a long time, then I finally kneeled and turned to the Lord and in the process I realised that I had had a fundamental change of approach. I used to think what mattered was my flesh and that my soul would be ok as long as my flesh...

    The Frightening Reality About Sin and Repentance

    There's a frightening reality in the Christian life these days that few dare to admit nor discuss. So many cry over their sins, feel deeply moved in a religious services, walk to the front while moved by an emotional song; they even soak their rarely opened Bibles with tears and still never...

    If the Devil knows you will speak up, about sin that he takes for granted: he will avoid you (need space?)

    Hi there, So I struggled with sin, for a long time, when it came to desire and it seemed like the Devil always knew how to break down my defences, again and again. Then I started to say "ok, I'm tempted, but even though I am tempted I am going to call the sin out". The Bible says "if we confess...

    "When you make His soul an offering for sin [...] He shall see His seed" (Isaiah 53:10) - a promise for the believer and backslider alike

    Hi there, So there is a constant repentance in Heaven, over the need to praise God more - of accepting that we have not praised Him enough. The problem on Earth is, we get discouraged easily and start to dismiss our faith lightly (I know I have). This should not be the case. The power of God...

    Linking a Man to an animal, is a sin - how much a slave to "linking with an animal" are Evolutionists (if sinning makes you a slave)?

    Hi there, So this is just calling Evolution's claim that we come from monkeys out for what it is: sin. There are lots of sins, but this one is particularly popular, at the moment. I defy it as a work of the Devil! Lord, we plead your blood over what "linking with an animal" robs us of, in Your...

    I am really struggling, with flesh that is puffed up - I don't know how to respond to the law of sin

    Hi there, I know I need the Holy Spirit. Let me make that clear. What I am writing about, is that I think allowing the Holy Spirit to work, takes more than a mental acknowledgement that there is sin, righteousness and judgment. The flesh is what concerns me now. Jesus said the times He was in...

    So frustrated at sin right now - stop sinning the old sin, sin the new sin?

    Hi there, So I am really frustrated and I think its to do with sin. I get that the Holy Spirit gives us a desire to be godly and its wise to wait for the opportunity to be godly, as the opportunity arises. I get that being ready for this, means repenting of whatever comes to mind (as the spirit...

    Ending : Sin Consciousness

    Reader, If you want to control and resolve your works of the flesh, (carnal desires) then you have to get out of Sin Consciousness. Hebrews 10:2 refers to this situation. Sin Conscienceness in a Christian, is created and maintained by wrong faith........that is explained as trying to be good...

    Being : Made Righteous

    Reader, Notice this verse.. from Romans.... """""and all are justified freely by God's Grace....= through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."" Now, who are the "ALL", who are Justified freely? These are ALL the Born again, who are the "Many shall be made righteous"... as Romans 5...

    Salvation : Foundation

    Reader, 1.) When Paul says......How can we who are dead to sin, live any longer in it.......He is explaining that the old man of sin is dead. So, to live there, free from sin consciousness, is to have "worked our your salvation". And how to do this.... is against our nature, against our flesh...

    Matthew 5:48.......: Be as perfect as God.

    Reader, Let me show you how to understand this verse... .Matt 5:48 The verse says........"""to be perfect, as God the Father is Perfect."""", and keep in mind that Jesus is not talking to Christians in the Verse. So, that is a specfic perfection.....its GOD's own Perfection, and that means...

    Crucifixion Question

    I know the story of Jesus's birth, death, and resurrection. And I know the story of his crucifixion. This is where my question comes into play. There is something I don't "fully" understand. I have a very superficial understand of my question. Hopefully someone can understand what I'm asking...

    Jesus doesn't just become 'sin', He puts sin out of reach (selah)

    Hi there, So this is something that will certainly enhance your understanding of the Cross, if not sin and temptation. What I want you to do is look at the Cross. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:21 "He who knew no sin, became sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God". Now...
