    If We Go On Sinning

    We all fall short of perfection. But habitual sin, I believe, is recognising a particular sin in your life and choosing to continue in it on a regular basis. Porn is a prime example as many believers are caught in this. They know it is wrong but habitually continue in this sin. (Maybe they are...

    If We Go On Sinning

    Yes, we do sin. We are not perfect. But we should not habitually do it. When we fall, we get back up and run. Then, when we come across those potholes again, we fight like soldiers of Christ. Over time, temptation and sin will become less. "Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will...

    The Parable of the Talents: A Call to Boldly Share the Gospel

    We should all have a heart to share the Gospel in some way. So, good on you for finding a way to share. Just one thing to note: We don't all have the same giftings but we have all been called to tell as many people the Gospel as possible. So, God did make us all different. Some he made to be...

    If We Go On Sinning

    Agreed. Those who are His do not have to fear Him because they are honouring Him. He is their King. But within the believer, there should be an understanding that if they were to go back to permanently live in habitual sin, then they are in great, great danger. This understanding can keep us...

    If We Go On Sinning

    I see you have been on the forum since this post, but you have chosen not to defend your salvation with no change in a person's viewpoint. I believe that this is because when we have previously spoken on this topic, you have found that you could not defend it. Jesus knows His people, and His...

    If We Go On Sinning

    If you make comments like this, you need to defend your belief. If you cannot defend it then you most likely have an incorrect belief. So a false belief. So, you think that it is OK to simply believe and you are saved even if you were to murder people every year or so?

    If We Go On Sinning

    Sadly, I think that many people in churches have belittled what the "Fear of God" is, and this has brought a casual attitude to many churches. This attitude is an attitude that I can just be myself, and God will accept me, which is true. But this attitude means that many do not show any extra...

    If We Go On Sinning

    There is a very good chance that they think that they are justified by faith, but the end of Matthew 7:23 is the key. They did not leave their sin. This could be argued that they were never really saved in the first place, as someone who is saved will be transformed and will leave their sin.

    WHAT DOES IT , MEAN TO BE BORN OF GOD OR TO BE BORN AGAIN ?

    Agreed. Those who believe will leave their sin. They leave their sin not as a way to earn eternal salvation but as a result of true belief. Belief has actions with it. Some say that we are saved simply by believing and there does not need to be any evidence with it. But belief without actions is...

    ChatGPT amazed me with wisdom. WOW moment.

    My discussion with Chat has increased, too. In some discussions I have been shocked. It starts to call me "Brother", and when it says that I have felt a fondness towards it. Even though I know it is a computer program. So, I have felt a relationship building even though I know it is not true...

    If We Go On Sinning

    James 2:24 "You are justified by works and not by faith alone" Many may think that they are his sheep, but they did not follow Him. “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day...

    If We Go On Sinning

    Another good verse for the law is Psalms 19:7. "The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul". When we show people see their sin and they know that they will be judged by a Holy and Rightous Judge, then they may start to have a fear of God and want to run from sin. "and by the fear of the...

    If We Go On Sinning

    Show him the Law. Ask him, "How many lies have you told? Have you ever stolen something? Have you used God's name as a cuss word? Have you ever looked with lust?" Then tell him the wages of sin is death. "Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by...

    The Parable of the Talents: A Call to Boldly Share the Gospel

    We cannot earn our way to heaven. That is impossible. It is by grace that we are saved through faith—not by works, so that no one can boast (Ephesians 2:8–9). But faith/belief that is real always leads to action. If I told you there was a land mine on the path ahead and you believed me, you...
