Shimmer,To love as God instructs us to do is to stop sinning as hate is a violation of God's law even if that hatred is a minor hate.So it follows the man who claims to love his brother is also claiming to not sin against him.Sadly when we claim to love it speaks more of our intent than our actions.

Martian,I cannot agree with you exactly since the instruction about seeking God and his kingdom is the instruction to stop sinning for there is no sin in God’s kingdom. All of Jesus’ teachings in one way or another relate to that subject though some are figurative as he used a mystic form of speech with hidden meanings that are discerned acco…[Read more]

Gene,You do not appear to understand what I stated since God does give us a heart of flesh in exchange for a stony heart. The one with a stony heart is a slave to sin and thus sins by compulsion while the one with a heart of flesh can choose to sin voluntarily as God has freed them from their slavery to sin through faith in Jesus the Anointed.…[Read more]

Martin,To become like Jesus you must believe his promise that we will stop sinning. One does not really do it as God is the power that changes you and puts your sins in your hand to voluntarily stop them. All one does is control the sins the one can and plea with God to cleanse you of the compulsion to do any evil you do. God is faithful and…[Read more]

Jerry,I am assuming you are familiar with Jesus' teaching and how they relate to the “dispensation” of the new covenant. Jesus knew beforehand it was to come and so prepared his students for its coming. He also let them know of his death which would seal it and his resurrection which would empower him to mediate it with his ascension.

Jerry,You can figure out my point if you listen with the ears of God spirit. According to the parable of the wheat and the weeds there are two types of individuals. One Jesus calls “good seed” and the other he calls “weeds”. He clearly states “the weeds” will be burned and only “the wheat” gathered into the barn. This is a true teaching and yo…[Read more]

Jerry,I borrowed from the words of Jesus for my explanation. I am also addressing your lack of faith in the righteousness of God.When I was a child I would plead with God that all mankind would be saved but since then I learned what it is to be truly merciful. Some will be destroyed on that dreadful day and they are also those that love sin…[Read more]

Chooseeoe, You call Jesus a liar by using your interpretation of what saved by the blood of the Lamb mean to make the gate to salvation wider when Jesus assures us the wide gate leads to destruction.Blood is used to sign a contract and thus make it binding to those who enter into it. You must trust in God that he will rescue all those who hunger…[Read more]

Jerry, The bottom line is you are accusing Jesus of lying and thus you are not being believed. You would be more creditable if you chose to interpret scriptures so you do not accuse Jesus of being the AntiChrist.

The primary operation has already occurred but the new kidney is not functioning completely. It is up to God if it wakes up and does so.

George,I enjoy the scriptures you chose to illustrate your point but you are dealing with those who have chosen to harden their hearts and accuse God of being unmerciful and unjust. In their soul they realize that they are entertaining false intent but they either choose to do so or are compelled by their sins to do this evil thing. This is…[Read more]
kerwin replied to the topic Will the wicked be saved? in the forum Truth or Tradition 16 years, 1 month ago
To all,There is really no controversy here since either Jesus lied when he said many would not make it or he told the truth. If you believe Jesus lied was mistaken then you simply do not believe he is the Son of God. So the question is not who will enter the kingdom but rather will you enter the kingdom. Jesus teaches us how to be saved so all…[Read more]

To all,Sinners will be saved but not those whom are Satan's children for God is merciful but he is also just. Jesus does not lie so only those who obey him as Lord can be saved through him. God is merciful and will take into account one's ignorance but contempt for his truth is the sure way to the lake of fire.

kerwin replied to the topic Sins against the holy spirit in the forum Truth or Tradition 16 years, 1 month ago
To all,Be careful as Jesus clearly stated that sin and blaspheme will be forgiven but not blaspheme against the holy spirit, Mark 3:28-29. So it is showing irreverence toward the Holy Spirit and not necessary showing irreverence towards God that will not be forgiven. Ananias and Sapphira showed irreverence toward the Holy Spirit by lying to i…[Read more]

Martain,Jesus' teaching are philosophy which is why his students are called disciples. Most philosophies rely on the principles of this world but gospel relies on godly principles.Adhere to godly principles and you will inherit eternal live adhere to the principles of this world and you will end up in the lake of fire.

Pierre,I agree as I considered Ananias and his wife Sapphira when I used the passage from Hebrews. In their case one sin seems to have been enough so Christians need to heed Jesus teaching not to look back once they have set the hand to the plow.
