    having trouble with premarital sex. need advice

    First thing I want to address here is your identity in Christ. You are forgiven already. He did that for you 2000 years ago! You are a forgiven person. So give thanks for it! The next thing I want to say is that anytime we do not listen to God, we pay the consequenses. Just because we are...

    worshipping satan....

    I must thank you for this most insightful post, and prayer. May it be a blessing to Eby. One thing I want to ask is that if you have to ask for forgiveness over and over again, are you forgiven? You ask for something you do not have. The thing to do, after you initialy come to Christ, and...

    worshipping satan....

    Yes, this is getting off-topic, but this is a good discussion. And in fact, we are givng advice about repentance. We will have to make another thread. The first question I want to ask you is where did I say that we, or I am immune from having to repent? If you got that from what I was saying...

    worshipping satan....

    Your premis about who the letters was written to is partially off. When Paul and Peter wrote their letters, they were writing to Christian pastors who was to read the letters to their congregations made up of saved and unsaved people (just like today). As a result, the saved were buillt up in...

    worshipping satan....

    1. Confess = acknowledge. He already knows about everything we think and do, and will ever do. 2. Forgiveness and clensing is offered to the unrighteous according to the verse above. When you come to Christ, you are made righteous in him! So you would have to conclude that he is referring to...

    worshipping satan....

    See above reply. How can we say that when none of us were even born then? Furthermore, at the cross he said it is finished. So since none of us were born then, how is it then that we think that he only forgave our sins up to a certain point? He forgave ALL our sins past, present, and future!

    worshipping satan....

    Yes, you ask, for it ONCE, and accept his gift of Grace when we first come to him. We confess (aknowledge) that we have sinned, and rest in his mercy. Was it something WE did to bring about his gift of Grace, or was it all him? I seriously doubt any of us were alive then. Are we the initiators...

    worshipping satan....

    But remember, he was still alive when he answered that, and the new covenant hadn't yet went into effect, so each sin was still counted. After his death, he wiped the slate clean! Check out Hebrews 10:17-18 17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. 18 Now where remission...

    Why do you believe God exists?

    Faith is like a chair. Until you rest in it, you don't know if it will hold you up, and support you. We as humans have the tendancy to try to anylyze, based on our own understanding. The thing about the ways of the lord is that you do not understand the things of God, unless you are depending...

    I cannot controll thinking paranoid.

    I want to ask you, what things are you paranoid about? We live in a world where we are taught that we are in control of our own destiny. The reality of life is, we have very little control over anything, including ourselves (sometimes). Ever try controlling someone else? How much success did...

    worshipping satan....

    I grew up the same way, until one day the Lord revealed the truth to my family and I when I was 14. I came to understand by reading Hebrews 10, that we are totally forgiven, so once we accept him as our personal Lord and Savior, all we have to do is rest in His mercy and grace, and walk in a...
