    When you surrender to God are all your actions for him?

    If you're in bondage does that mean that doing the action in question is a sin?

    When you surrender to God are all your actions for him?

    What's the point of devoting anything to God (old testament context) if it's already his? Was it just implying to devote the object to his purposes and use only?

    When you surrender to God are all your actions for him?

    So, even if someone left the faith after being baptized or was stupid enough to ask God to quote "give their stuff back", their life and possessions would still be devoted to God, because they were baptized, right? And if not could they give it back to God?

    Getting a Gun

    I'm definitely pro 2nd amendment, the issue with taking guns away or increasing the number of gun free zones is that anyone who would be prepared to commit gun violence doesn't care whether they do it in a gun free zone, or if they legally obtained the gun. They're already prepared to commit one...

    When you surrender to God are all your actions for him?

    Is thinking something such as "No, I devote that action/thing to the Lord, not the devil" rebuking it? What counts as getting into the heart? Is being worried about it the same thing? What happens if the thought gets into my heart?

    When you surrender to God are all your actions for him?

    So, when you're baptized, the Holy Spirit enters you, and, what truly happens to your life? Are all your actions from then on devoted to the Lord, YHWH? It's impossible to devote an action or routine to the devil, right? I want to keep the devil out of my life permanently and I really need...

    Returning to first love.

    While institutionalized churches aren't necessarily a bad thing, neither are home churches, I personally attend one and if it's done right it can be more than just a small gathering of friends for Bible study.

    Returning to first love.

    There are several major issues with with mainstream church today. The biggest one is that the church is seemingly more important to people than what's being taught, it becomes about the ritual, about following a checklist of "well I went to church on Sunday, did x y and z and I didn't do a b and...

    Devoting physical items to God

    Thank y'all for answering my questions, you've definitely cleared up my main concerns, but my other concern was that I was worried specific actions could be devoted to the devil accidentally because of your thoughts, therefore doing that action would become a sin, that's impossible, right?

    To what extent is swearing a sin?

    These past few months I've been trying to live a better life for Jesus, I used to swear like a sailor and I've been trying to stop that, I removed all the swear words from my autocorrect, but is having a ton of old texts with swearing in them on my phone a sin? Was it a sin to have them in my...

    Not ready for Christ's return

    The only unforgivable sin is not having acceptedtaccepted Holy Spirit and accepting Jesus as your Lord and savior by the end. As long as you're trying to follow the commands given in the Bible, you'll be fine even though you'll never be able to avoid sin completely, only Jesus could ever do that.

    Does what we wear when we pray matter?

    If someone prays to God in private, does it matter what we wear? If our clothes have a tiny stain, burn mark, tear, that sort of thing, does God reject our prayer? Do we even have to wear clothes to pray? I know it would probably be disrespectful to pray in dirty clothes (not as in wearing them...

    I discovered the secret to Manna.

    I'd be careful with that. God is holy and I'm concerned that proceeding with that could even be a tower of Bable-esque sin. You should pray to God for guidance and wisdom before making any legitimate plans.

    White Men Need Not Apply

    Imagine if a White director decided they weren't going to hire Black people, that would be a blatant display of racism, and a career ending move. But suddenly because it's reversed it's debatable? Almost every normal, sane, educated person in this country, including myself, believe in racial...

    Afraid my OCD thoughts are keeping me away from God

    This is my third post of this sort of things in two days. I created this account to calm my anxieties, and while y'all have been amazing and have helped a lot, I've just got one more concern. For a few months I've been having evil intrusive thoughts saying if "you don't do X Y and Z your soul...
