I think that verse is very good in this case. I agree with you that people too easily blame others of their own evil actions. People should take responsibility of what they have done and not blame others.

If pharisees would have repented, it would have been good and then they could have had eternal life that is promised for righteous, unless they had blasphemed, in which case i think they would not repent. These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life. Mat...

That is true. And as you can read from the Bible Jesus and also disciples of Jesus had the right to forgive sins and nothing was required for that. The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?" But Jesus...

One example is this: But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends...

I have understood that it means, we don’t have massive requirements what we must do to follow him. And even if we have difficult job, he will make it so that we can bear it and so it is easier.

I think that is not accurate enough, because Jesus told about the baptism: Therefore go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always...

The purpose of atonement sacrifice is to make amends or reparation. In away it fixes the relationship between God and man. Jesus came on earth to do that. He declared the forgiveness and also showed the correct way to life. "Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more." John...

No, in Bible Hades is sometimes translated hell, but there is also word Gehenna that is translated to mean hell. Hades is not the same thing, because in the end Hades is thrown into the fire lake, that is the Gehenna. …Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each...

I have understood righteousness means wisdom of the just, correct understanding of what is good and right. When person has that correct understanding, it leads to righteous works, because person understands what is good and right and wants that. I think one nice example of this is: "Two men...

But, I don’t think Bible tells it was necessary for that. Biblical reason why Jesus came on earth is this: "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, Because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim release to the captives, Recovering of...

I think she can be in paradise. And I believe it may be the other place where people wait for the judgment day. The other place is Hades. Jesus said to him, "Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise." Luke 23:43

In this matter, I think it would be good to keep in mind also that Jesus could forgive sins before his death. The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?" But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered them...

I think works means actions. If person is righteous, he does righteous works. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed, that he might destroy the works...

I think those say just what is written. I don’t think they revokes what I said before.

By what the Bible tells, righteous are predestined to eternal life and unrighteous will have death.

Yes, I think Bible means physical death and I understand Bible means death is a slow process. People don’t die instantly, it takes many years normally. In case of Adam and Eve it took about 1000 years, but they still were dying all that time. This is why I think God was right, people were to...

Firstly, I want to say, don’t be anxious of your life. God is good, what ever He does, will be good in the end. Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don't let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful. John 14:27 Saved means in the...

I think it means Peter is one rock of the building that is God's temple. Disciples of Jesus form the temple of God, and they are building blocks of God’s temple. And Peter is one fundamental block in that building. And Jesus is the corner stone of that temple. Jesus said to them, "Did you never...

I would rather say, we are born to death and are dying here. We are not yet dead, because death is a slow process, but we are slowly dying every day in here.

I believe God has predestined righteous into eternal life and unrighteous to death. But that who are righteous, depends also on what people want and choose.
