  1. Should I repent even if I don't feel sorry for what I've done?

    I recently committed a great sin but am afraid to repent of it. The reason why I am afraid is because in order for God to forgive you of your sin, you have to truly be sorry for committing that sin, which I'm not, then ask for forgiveness, which I haven't. The reason why I want to ask for...
  2. How can I make genuine repentance and become a true convert?

    I have lived my life as a Christian for many years going to church but not truly knowing Jesus. I have lived a life of sin unfortunately and it started to really impact me because my conscience is seared and it's hard for me to come to Jesus Christ now. It's all just intellectual knowledge and...
  3. Ephesians 1:6-7

    Believers are accepted in/thru His Beloved Son/Jesus the Christ Also see [Rom 8:15-17, Gal 4:4-12] Eph 1: 6 to the praise of His glorious grace and favor, which He so freely bestowed on us in the Beloved [His Son, Jesus Christ]. 7 In Him we have redemption [that is, our deliverance and...
  4. What has been held in darkness is being exposed to the light

    God is exposing the sins of the world for all to see. That's why everything is coming out now. But instead of repenting. The world is doubling down on their sins. So what comes next. Judgement
  5. Faith in God's grace supersedes our sin

    All scripture was written for us. Not all scripture is written to us. When dissecting any verse of scripture. Ask yourself, of whom, to whom, with what words, what time, where, to what intent, with what circumstances, considering what is written before and what follows any single verse context...
  6. The law, It's purpose, Sin, Believers are under grace

    Gal 3:19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. PARSING: Gal 3:19 The law was in effect, (TIME SENSITIVE WORD >>>) ""UNTIL""" the promised seed...
  7. Grace = God's unmerited/unearned/undeserved favor has a name.

    Jn 3:16 God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life (MY NOTE: God sent His Son Jesus the Christ: Believers in Christ death/sin payment & resurrection have < (Present Tense) > everlasting life) Jn 3:18 He...
  8. How To Overcome Sin

    The first thing we need to understand is how inadequate we are, even with our desire to be free. As long as it is you trying in your own power, you will fail. Thats what the problem with the Law was. The Law is good, but it never had the power to change people. It only reminded us how weak we...
  9. Praying Works!

    Whenever you feel like you are about to sin, start praying! Praying has helped me so much. Also keeping a Prayer Journal helps too! Also praying for everyone that God made helps too! It helps remind us that we are not alone in our struggle with sin. :):):):):hug::hug::hug::hug:
  10. ...sins now repurposed and put on display in the Church, like fine furniture...

    It seems that some Christian leaders are basically telling us to NOT die to our sins. Consider Cardinal Reinhard Marx out of Germany. If you do a news search using that name, you will see him in his priestly collar standing at the podium with a bright rainbow flag before his feet (I would...

    If you see the anti-Christ, will you be "anti" anti-Christ?

    Hi there, So this is about standards of behaviour: specifically, what standard will you adopt, if you see the anti-Christ? Will you be "anti" anti-Christ, or will you be kosher? The point is, not that we have found the upper hand to the anti-Christ, but that we are lead by the Holy Spirit...

    The other woman

    Hello! I'm going to be very vulnerable here. I have been a Christian for 10 years. I was engaged with someone I was so in love with and then in 2019 found out he was cheating on me. God held my hand throughout the whole situation, I have never felt more happy and more blessed! However...
