I did not write the Bible. God did. Jesus makes a distinction between sins that lead to punishment in earthly courts, and a sin that leads to hellfire in Matthew 5:22. "But I say to you that everyone who continues to be angry with his brother or harbors malice against him shall be guilty...

So you did not read Acts 15 then. Either that or you did not understand what it said. If you go back and read Acts 15, it addresses your comment here.

When I was a new Christian, I used to be confused about which laws to keep in the Bible. I used to think we had to keep the Laws of Moses and the Laws of Christ. Nothing could be further from the truth. Please stop right now and read Acts 15:1-21, Hebrews 7:12, and Romans 6:14 in the King...

Your welcome. I am not big on talking about my personal life on the internet. Not everyone on the internet is looking to be nice. I come here on the forums to talk about the Bible, my friend.

Not all sin is the same. See this thread here: https://www.christianforums.com/threads/sins-not-unto-death.8231195/ When I say "forsake sin," it is to overcome that sin. If a believer keeps sinning and never overcome their sin and they die in that state, they are not going to make it into...

See my thread here: https://www.christianforums.com/threads/two-aspects-of-salvation-believers-need-to-be-concerned-with.8284898/

You're not getting it. Those who say they can sin and still be saved are no different than unbelievers who justify sin and claim to believe in God. This describes any believer who rejects Conditional Salvation or the view that sin can separate us from God (unless one confesses and forsakes...

Nobody is stuck in being a certain way unless they seared their conscience or something and we cannot truly know if somebody has done that or not. People have changed their minds on a wide variety of theological beliefs. A person who once justified sin can change their mind.

Your interpretation does not make any sense in 1 Peter 3:21. Looking at your other posts on the forum, you have appeared to defend beliefs that align with the Catholic Church. The common Catholic interpretation on 1 Peter 3:21 is that the phrase "not the putting away of the filth of the flesh"...

If this was the only verse on baptism, you may be on to something, but Paul makes it clear that he came not to baptize but to preach the gospel (1 Corinthians 1:17). I have heard some churches falsely claim that baptism is a part of the gospel, and yet Paul does not seem to think so. Anyway...

Again, I have already given the verses that refutes your belief. It is up to you to deal with them or not. There are no verses that defend Eternal Security because it is a lie that is fed to people to make them feel comfortable in their sin with the promise they are going to enter the Kingdom...

In addition, there are several passages that tell us that you cannot be out of fellowship with God and be saved. #1. 1 John 5:12 says He that has the Son has life and He that does not have the Son does not have life. Life is associated with eternal life or salvation. #2. John 17:3 says eternal...

Christ alone has immortality (1 Timothy 6:16). Jesus Himself said He is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). 1 John 5:12 says, he that has the Son has life, and he that does not have the Son, does not have life. So, you have to abide in Christ in order to have life (i.e., eternal...

Think. What happened in the story of Noah and the flood? Did wicked men of that old world set out to attack Noah and his family and then alil of a sudden a big fast moving stream of water took them out? No. The Ark is what saved Noah and his family. The water was a form of Judgment. The...

It’s synergistic. It’s not all God and it’s not all you. But we are told to work out our salvation with fear and trembling in Philippians 2:12 (Which one can either ignore or change it because it does not align with what they desire to be true). I believe the Word of God (like Scripture) is...
