Hi, Sounds like you are quite sure that man cannot be saved through confession alone.  Then could you tell me what John 3:16 means (the common one used for preaching) and Roman 10:9 where it says "if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him...

Your analogy makes sense. But if our Lord is able to even call the dead to rise. I wouldn't doubt His power through His Gospel. Unlike the dead, we still have the ability to reason. Some choose to believe...some do not. I guess our definition for spiritual death is different. :)...

  Depends on how you look at it.  Sin for one, simply because our God is a righteous one.  Another thing that I begin to see that draws us away from Him is our pride.  Our sense of that we know enough..."we're good enough," or "I don't really need Him." That type of...

Amen I know of a close brother who has been going out with this girl for awhile.  They became worldly for the longest time and assumingly they "sinned."  They broked up eventually and he started to like this other girl.  However, his gf wants him back so he willingly accept...

Interestingly, I've watched a video about Hudson Taylor (a missionary to China) and in it he brought up an interesting fact.  In Chinese, the word righteous is made up of two other words.  The word lamb on top and the word me on bottom.  He explains that our righteous comes from...

  Separation from God.  Yes, afterall...Adam didn't die "physically" after eating the fruit.  Death is bad...but away from Him is worse Yep   It would be tough.  For Abraham, he has to leave his family, his home, etc to be righteous before...

I see, thank you for the information.  :)

Until lately, I believed in a secret rapture where Christ will come and take us to Heaven while the world will be misled by Anti-Christ for 7 years.  And soon afterward, we will descend with Him and He will judge the world (pretty much like the left behind series).  Now I heard...

Hello my fellow B/S (brothers and sisters), I noticed there are two types of beliefs regarding the background of "sin."  Many feel that we are inherently evil and sinful.  When a child is born, that child is a sinner already.  And/or that the sins of our forefathers are passed...

Sorry for my ignorance, but what do you mean by "especially when arguing with an Armenian?"  Please enlighten me with your knowledge. :) As a brother, I hope to remind you that we are here not to do "God's job," we are not Him.  Also, please try to help one another...not making...

Yes, if a man is in a "regenerate and saved" state, then our Lord wouldn't be needed.  But of course, we know that our salvation comes through Him.  Hope I answer the right question this time. :)

Paul often mention in his letters that we are in constant struggle with the flesh. That we should focus on the Spirit instead of on the lust of the flesh (etc). And seeing post after post of how our bros/sis' struggle to beat the flesh desires + my own experiences, I feel that we are still...

Oxymoron - two contradictory words (opposite meaning) going together and actually means something Eg: White (white) Chocolate (black, brownish) :)

Wouldn't you agree it's a possibility sometime God will use sickness to make us stronger?  If you don't agree...then wouldn't you as His follower, put a limitation on what He can/cannot do?  If you do, then couldn't His blessing be coming to you as something less attractive (sickness)...
