    Is it possible not to sin ? (All sins)

    Thank you for your response, or rather lack thereof: you do sin. But, to be sure, I did not ask you to confess your particulars in public, only to answer yes or no to a very simple and direct question: do you sin? Since you can't muster strength enough to answer yes or no, I assume it's either...

    Is it possible not to sin ? (All sins)

    We earn death, just as we earn our weekly pay: the wages of sin is death. The infant that dies at a week outside the womb dies not because they sinned, but because of the child's innate sin nature. Likewise, no one earns life. Life everlasting is a gift and comes only to those who trust in the...

    Is it possible not to sin ? (All sins)

    We sin because we are sinners, born with a sin nature. When we are born again, the Holy Spirit indwells us and the atonement of Jesus covers our sins. When we stumble into sin, the Holy Spirit will convict us of the wrong and we will feel as though we have been chastised. If you were not...

    If sin is evil...

    Pride is certainly an evil, a sin that God's word warns us of repeatedly. It's easy to see how pride can be the multiplication factor for the compounding of sin. My thought is: we Christians have all the evidence we need to know God exists and that Jesus Christ was crucified, died, buried...

    If sin is evil...

    Theologian Cornelius Plantinga said: “All sin is equally wrong, but not all sin is equally bad.” I understand what Plantinga is saying, and it confirms what Jesus made clear when He told Pilate "he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin.” John 19:11. But if Pilate was an unrepentant...

    Does age matter....

    It would not change my belief in Jesus Christ and his death, burial, and resurrection. As far as the Genesis narrative on the amount of time between the very beginning (as in: "In the beginning God") and the next point in time when God first said "Let there be light." it is simply not explicitly...

    Free Will - God's test that all mankind flunks

    Human free will, I think, is limited to things temporal. We can choose to sleep in or wake up early, wear a button down shirt or pullover, eat this but not that, vacation here and not there, befriend him but not her, etc. However, because we are spiritually dead in trespasses and sins, we are...

    Pfizer vaccine receives FDA approval.

    FDA approval? So what. The FDA is a corrupt government agency that has been wrong time after time after time. Seven Dangerous Drugs You Won't Believe Were Actually Approved By The FDA “The FDA is supposedly a watchdog agency mandated to protect the public from dangerous and ineffective drugs...

    Gun Control

    Other countries have bans on firearms, I think is what you mean.

    Gun Control

    People who are evil will do evil, that includes murder. A firearm by itself is an inanimate object that can do nothing on its own. However, put in the hands of an evil man or woman, the evil man or woman becomes the cause, not the firearm. If the "monster" did not have a handgun but a knife, and...

    God is a God of Reason: Why Calvinism Fails

    We all have a God-given conscience that guides us to differentiate between right and wrong, moral vs immoral, good vs evil, pleasant vs unpleasant, etc., even though we are all spiritually dead in trespasses and sins. There are and have been many in the world who personified evil and many who...

    Has a Born Again Christian Passed From Death To Life?

    Before a Christian is born again, he or she is spiritually dead in trespasses and sins. When we are quickened by the Holy Spirit, i.e., born again, our Spirit is brought to life by the indwelling Holy Spirit, life that is eternal. We are living our eternal lives now, but in our physical bodies...

    Pfizer To Get Full Approval; The Mandates Are Coming

    Sorry, but not going to happen. All the lab rats out there who are so-called "vaccinated" and getting deathly ill with the virus from which they were"vaccinated" is enough evidence for me that this "vaccine" is one big lie.

    Driving straight into a tree we could easily avoid

    The debt of the USA will be settled when Jesus Christ returns and sets up HIS millennial kingdom. Until then, unless the holders of the USA debt band together and en masse demand payment (which will mean the end of the USA), the debt will grow and grow and grow... Re: manufacturing jobs: the...

    The Grim Reality of Homosexuality

    North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) is not mythical: it's reality, and was formed in 1978. It was underground for long periods of time before it came out publicly. Now nambla has its own website and political action advocates pushing for legal reforms, much like what passed in...

    Jesus teaching on the New Birth, Born Again !

    God's grace offer is to the world, and none of us has any control or will by ourselves or on our own to receive it. When the Spirit quickens the spiritually dead, then are we able to say yes to God's grace, and only then are we born again.
