    Do we sin? If not what is the word for those who stumble?

    Brother, we sin every minute of our lives. Even the best of us are incapable of being sin free for a moment. We are deluded if think that we are and it undermines the ultimate sacrifice that Jesus made. God knows that we are perpetual sinners and knows that we will repeat our sin. Once we have...

    LDS Mormon vs Christian

    Can Mormonism actually be counted as Christianity seeing as it's so far off base??

    Sinning

    That's a very good analogy. I like it and will use it.

    To those who believe the Bible threatens endless conscious torments

    I'm afraid he does... read Revelation end to end and then tell me that there's no eternal damnation. Any other ideas are from people trying to make scripture suit their lifestyle.

    To those who believe the Bible threatens endless conscious torments

    The answer is in the story of Lazarus and the rich man. If you read Luke 16:26 it describes how the rich man will never get out of hell. Your answer is plainly in scripture.

    If you discovered God didn't exist, would you still want to be moral?

    There is an inbuilt morality in all humans otherwise the species would destroy itself. There are plenty of atheists and they don't go slaughtering. We all know that the creator has done this purposely to stop this. Such is His cleverness and wisdom. So, if there was no God....there would be no...

    Is the Bible Without Error?

    I find it very hard to believe old testament scripture. The ark I suppose, taken literally, is the most difficult. The age of the Earth is another area where I struggle in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary although, that said, the age of the Earth is not actually stated but...

    Tithing Troubles

    Also remember that anything done in service to God is a sacred thing. Repairing your meeting hall was a sacred thing. Your efforts count.

    Tithing Troubles

    Firstly, God bless you and your honest and genuine efforts to serve our Savior. Secondly, you have done right to put your effort in where it's most needed. There is no Christian requirement to 'tithe' but merely to give according to your ability. The other issue is that giving isn't just about...

    How did you Overcome

    It's a struggle for me too. I have to admit that this doesn't manifest itself in physical lust but I worry that if the temptation arose, could I resist? I find myself being distracted easily by attractive women. I have conquered my thoughts by telling myself it's a betrayal of my wife and...

    A Sinless Christian?

    I'm afraid they're not as much as we would like to think so. Romans 5:12-13,18 (ESV) 12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned— 13 for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is...

    Is God responsible for sin, evil and suffering?

    I am not a Bible scholar but I do know that although God made us in His image, he made us all unique. The miracle is that there is nobody in the world identical to me or you. With this uniqueness comes independence of thought and the will to do what we want. We can decide whether we value God's...

    Closest to Anabaptist Belief and Worship?

    I am genuinely curious as to why you say this. Can you expand?

    Do you think any sinners are born sinners ?

    We are all born and remain sinners until the Lord takes us. Every single one of us. The belief that we are without sin, would put us on the same level of our Lord himself! All we can do is become reborn, repent and hold Jesus in our hearts.

    Amish Farmer Sam Girod Is In Jail

    What a shame. The Amish are very insular and may not be as worldly wise as they should be when dealing in the greater scheme. God will work to free this man unless God has a reason for this.

    Do you mind being labelled Protestant?

    To be saved, we need to accept Jesus as our saviour, repent and believe in Him. That's it. You go to heaven. You cannot be unsaved. God doesn't make mistakes.

    Salvation?

    Baptism is not a prerequisite for salvation.

    What sends a person to hell...?

    Jesus atoned for all sin then, now and for all time. He took our sin and made it his own. The core of our (Protestant) faith is John 3:16. This tells us that all we have to do is accept him into our heart to become a new creation. This cannot be undone as God doesn't make mistakes! Neogaia777...
