That answer could very from person to person. Only Jesus knows what kind of death, what sort of sin are we talking about? God can only explain this.Tell me, what interpretation needs to be done for this verse?
"For the wages of sin is death."
???????????
Apparently it looks to me like... The wages of sin is death.
Only Jesus knows what kind of death, what sort of sin are we talking about? God can only explain this.
As far as this goes, Hebrews is written and dealing with those saved and Romans was a general statement about sin.John said not all sin leads to death? Hebrews says a deliberate sin is death. There is much a person needs to know, and only God knows how to teach a person to live his Word.

The Bible tells us what sin is in 1 John 3:4.
In verses like Ezekiel 18:4 we know it's spiritual death- something more than bodily.
The interpretation is right there in the Bible. You just have to read it.

READ THE CONTEXT. It's as simple as that, really.
Thankful 1:
Man says and teaches what he believes the Bible teaches and is saying.
God teaches us what the Bible truly says.
How do you know it's the Holy Spirit and not an evil spirit? Without the Bible, you don't.

Yes, and every man believes that he is right. Apparently, some men must be wrong
Of course, God has taught many men some things, but left many of those same men with incomplete knowledge because they did not continue to ask for more. The result of this in many cases is a mixed message [partially God's and partially men's] being taught by some men. How can we tell the difference?

Was His Word in a book when God spoke to Elijah?
We cannot discern the voice of God from the voice of Satan without knowing the Bible. Those who discard the Bible are at the mercy of Satan. Satan has no mercy."And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
And it was so, when Elijah heard it that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?" I Kings 19;12-13
"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me" John 10:27
Are we not able to hear the voice of Jesus? If not, then should we not pray to the Lord that He might allow us to hear Him?
How do you know if it's Jesus or Satan who answers? Without the Bible, you don't know.I personally don’t believe that there is many people who even believe that one can ask Jesus a question and have him give them an answer.
There's really no division I know of over these verses. The Christian church acknowledges the wages of sin is death. You're the first person I've seen to deny what's clearly written.Now if it is so simple as you are trying to say, they why is there so much division in the Christian Church?
We are to be taught by the Holy Spirit/Jesus. Why do you keep ignoring these scriptures that tell us this is true?

Is it not odd, that one would say, that they can hear the holy spirirt, but need a book to judge what is right,
Is it not odd, that one would say, that they can hear the holy spirirt, but need a book to judge what is right, so what is it, you cannot hear the holy spirirt or are you calling Him a liar, or is it you do not believe Him, those are the only 3 choices .
Its like this.
You can hear the Holy Spirit, all He tells you is truth, so you do not question Him ro need to chexk
you are not hearing the holy spirit so you need to check becuase it is not him
you can hear him but you do not believe Him, whch is a contradiction as in a way you are calling Him a liar, whch is akin to calling God and Jesus a liar, since they all agree with one another.
in His Love

I'm not. I believe them.
You go to math class to be taught to a teacher. That teacher will teach you, out of the book she has given everyone, and she will teach you the math operations and how to solve problems.
Ordinarily this works great. But sometimes false substitute teachers come in and teach you math contrary to what's given.
If we are blindly following the teacher- they might teach us something that the book says is wrong. Thankfully we have the book to know weather or not to judge if the teacher is teaching us right or wrong.

He's not our personal question-answering-service.
He's only going to tell you what you need to know, and only if it's part of his will.
"And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him."
Notice the condition.
Well I don't know, but it's in a Book now for us.

Or the fourth, the ability of the enemy to masquerade as the spirit of light.Is it not odd, that one would say, that they can hear the holy spirirt, but need a book to judge what is right, so what is it, you cannot hear the holy spirirt or are you calling Him a liar, or is it you do not believe Him, those are the only 3 choices .
Um, THE BIBLE. Did you not read what I posted?Who ever told you that Jesus/HolySpirit was not one’s personal question and answering service?
Absolutely and often he'll use other people to do that. Just look at Paul: led by the Spirit, to inform others. Many times he can directly speak to you. But we must ALL be on alert for falseness. Remember, the early church: THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT WALKED WITH CHRIST HIMSELF, were tricked. We are no better than they are.It is the Spirit that quickens what we hear or read from the Bible bringing to Life within us.

He'll only hear and respond to what's according to his will.
If you pray for how to obtain 40 virgins I'm going to guess that it's not part of his will and he's not going to answer you.

Remember: there was no NT in their day. The Spirit spoke to the Apostles, the Apostles wrote what they were led to write- and now we have the communicated words of God on paper. The truth is part of the salvation process. It might be spoken or someone might read it, but the Bible contains this truth.
