Shimmer,By their fruit you will know them.Not all sin quenches the spirit. Short attention spans are common now.

Wm,Your post is of a very excellent quality.  I believe that God is in control and that all things that happen are part of his plan to rescue all those that can be rescued from this world of sin.  When I pray; I, just like you, have taken to heart that what may appear good to me is not really good.  The leper in the below example from scripture st…[Read more]

To all,Quote Job 2:10New International Version (NIV) 10 He replied, “You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?”   In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.Footnotes:    Job 2:10 The Hebrew word rendered foolish denotes moral deficiency.Satan is the one who freely chose to put trouble into Job&#0…[Read more]

Seeking Truth,I am trying to learn more about implementing Jesus' teachings than debating them. This one I believe has points that can also be gleaned from Job 1:9-11 where God put a hedge around Job and his family and blessed the work of Job's hands. Satan then was unable to harm Job until God chose to give that power to The evil one. I see a…[Read more]

To all,How do you know you have strong belief in this teaching of Jesus'?

Quote (dew @ Jan. 12 2012,13:13)Hi Kerwin.Yes I believe that.And also, what is sin?Sin is reality.We live in a sinful life.And if we are not carefull, sin will suck us up.You will think what you're doing is ok,Maybe even look at Scripture and rationalise it away. Wanting what another has is a sin.Masterbation is sin. Not honouring those who are a…[Read more]

Pierre,What I wrote is not about studying scripture diligently but rather about coming to Jesus to learn how to be reconciled to God. Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness and now we have one greater than Abraham here.Matthew 5:6 is a promise of God and as any promise of God, those that follow must believe it. If there…[Read more]

A Summary of What I BelieveI believe in one God who is the God of Abraham, Isaac, David, and Jesus as well of all creation.I believe in one Son of God’s Spirit in whom God has chosen to have his Spirit dwell directly. That Son is the human being Jesus whom sacrificed himself to defeat God’s enemies and so God appointed him King of everything in…[Read more]
