What's best is not always comfortable. Is exercise comfortable? No, but it gives you strength. Maybe God wants you to grow?

It's sexual immorality. Any form of sex outside of a marriage relationship between one man and one woman is sin. We can go to the OT to see what God thinks about certain things, but that doesn't mean that we are under an obligation to keep the entirety of the Mosaic Law. Read Galatians 3, please.

Sure.

Well, I've never shared my opinions on this subject previously, but yes, they have remained somewhat the same. My opposition to the movement has actually strengthened with the recent anti-cop rhetoric.

Well, I just gave my opinion. BLM is movement built on lawbreaking and race baiting. If it really was about police brutality then they would come up with a new hashtag, but it's not about police brutality: it's about playing the victim and getting mad when people don't buy into it.

You have to be specific: every case is different, and I'm not going to fall into the trap of thinking that every Black man dead is dead because cops are racist, because that in and of itself is a racist narrative. If we are talking about BLM, then no, I've never and will never support a movement...

With regards to what? BLM? What recent killings? Alton and Philando?

Of course that is still a sin, but for more reasons than simply because the Mosaic Law says so. You missed my point, however, which is that the Law cannot make someone righteous.

Yes, the Law is good, but it was primarily there to show Israel their sin. We cannot be made righteous by the Law, because the one who wants to be righteous by the Law must keep it perfectly. Also, we are under the New Covenant era of grace, and that means we are not held under the OT Law...

Sex is never a sin if you two are married and both consent.

The flesh will always be there, but by the grace of God and His Spirit that dwells in those who have faith in Christ there is power to overcome. Shoot always for what is right; seek God and the truth; don't listen to the lies of the fallen ones; flee from fantasy and stay rooted in reality. Just...

I went to public school my entire life, and it honestly has made my faith stronger. It was also an incredible witness to work hard in school when everyone else preferred to slack off and party. Teach your children the truth at home, always, but when it comes to getting an education, I think it...

I think the core issue regarding the afterlife and the final judgement is the misunderstanding of what a soul actually is. We learn all we need to about the body, spirit, and soul in Genesis 2:7 which reads as follows: Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his...

Waiting for God to bring the woman into my life.

Indeed. Dead souls don't either.

Those verses need to be a little more specific then... They might convince someone that souls can actually die! :confused: This one especially; whoever wrote it must have been tired: Psalms 94:17 If the LORD had not been my help, My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence. He must...

You misunderstand what annihilation is: it simply means complete destruction, and when you completely destroy someone they die. The first death is annihilation, and the second death in the lake of fire is also annihilation. The difference is that one is temporary due to the resurrection and...

Or perhaps God in His grace let Adam live longer than he should have so that the messiah could come and rescue man from sin and death? Death is not eternal separation from God: death is death. Look, I know you are trying really hard to justify your interpretation of the scriptures, but maybe...

Everyone is guilty. Only in Jesus is there forgiveness and peace with God.

So you are basically saying that in the same way those who know God are not burned up those who don't know God will not be burned up either? Doesn't the Bible teach the wicked will be burned up like chaff? Matthew 3:12 "His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear His...
