sin

Friday, July 21, 2017, 5:13 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “He Reached Down.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read varied scriptures (in the ESV) on the subject of slavery to sin. Practicing Sin (Jn. 8:34; Ro. 1:28-32; Gal. 5:19-21) “Jesus answered them, ‘Truly, truly, I say...

Hi everyone. This is my first post, hopefully I'm in the right place. I'm a new believer... I'm struggling with accepting he fact that He has forgiven my sins. I have done so many awful things, I feel so much guilt and shame. I've heard that once you are saved the feelings of shame will go away...

There have been quite a few posts about sinning after salvation, with some claiming that even as Christians their sins aren't forgiven. Allow me to use an analogy to show how this belief is false. Suppose you're driving down a road with a posted speed limit. If you exceed the speed limit...

I'm a born-again Christian who tries to fulfill the Great Commission by my own blog "Herrin Daily Thoughts" and am the author of "The Skull of Adam" and "Kids of the Korn", both novels about Christian doctrine presented in a light manner. I came to this forum to promote biblical doctrine with...

So if you're into some good ol' country music, you've probably heard the song "If Heaven Ain't Alot Like Dixie" by Hank Williams Jr. I think the music is simply enchanting but his have some verses that, well... seem wrong. "If Heaven ain't a lot like Dixie I don't wanna go. If Heaven ain't a...

Most people are unwilling (and even unable) to talk about any subject that is "negative" or controversial. They will say that it is "unpleasant" or "unhappy." They don't want to "ruin their day." It upsets their "equilibrium" etc etc etc. Why is this? In the 60's, there appeared a cultural...

These Blogs are a journey of process, to gain some context it may help you if you go back and read my previous thoughts. I love you all and thank you for visiting. Redefining Sin We need to place sin in its place, for too long have we misunderstood it and fallen into the same lie that has...

Good morning brothers and sisters, I've been having a discussion with an online friend, and I'm trying to feel out what kind of believer he might be. It can be more difficult to discern the fruits of the spirit online, but I think it's possible with the Holy Spirit's guidance. I have been...

Thursday, May 4, 2017, 2:00 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “Were You There?” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read John 15:18-25 (ESV). “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but...

Hello everyone First I would like to say GOD bless everyone that is willing to accept GOD and Jesus into their lives. Is it a sin to accept bones from a cadaver? My fiance needs some bone grafted into her jaw so that she can get some teeth implants. Will or would GOD or Jesus look at this...

WARNING: As the name implies, this thread talks about sin and damnation, and possibly one of the most scariest and unpopular doctrines of the Catholic Church! Below is the video that got me to revert to the Catholic Faith, I highly recommend that everyone watch it! That part about Wisdom 11:21...

OP: What are "SIN"... SIN(S)...SIN NATURE ??...Discuss + Debate !! MY DEFINITIONS: 1. SIN = "falling short" = ANYTHING contrary to the perfect CHARACTER and ATTRIBUTES of the TRI-UNE GOD...ALL fall short! This is the spiritual gap between God's perfect good and Man's imperfections. 2. SIN(S)...

I'm baptist, so we don't do communion often, only I'm afraid it's coming soon. I know about 1 Corinthians 11:27, eating unworthily makes you guilty of sinning against Jesus, some people say makes you guilty of Jesus's death, as the people who actually beat Him on the cross were. I'm afraid of...

I know your first reaction is probably "immediately!" but hear me out for a second. Imagine these four scenarios (which I have encountered/might encounter in my life); 1 - The first scenario is where I bet 5 bucks with a friend on who of us is actually correct when we have a disagreement on...

So I know that i cannot control people or their actions or thoughts, but for some reason, i constantly worry about what my friends are doing. It gets to the point where I get almost depressed when i don't know what they are up to because i think they are sinning. I know this sounds so stupid...

I have a good friend who recently moved to Germany and lost his way. He's become very closed off, and another friend of mine said he's smoking of lot of marijuana. Now he's come back to the US and is trying to start a company making candies filled with marijuana!! I'm extremely concerned for...
