    The Man of Sin, is also the Child of Iniquity (selah)

    Hi there, So just cross referencing Paul's mention of the Man of Sin, with the Book of Revelation where it talks about the Male Child, we come to a place where we do not know what the Man of Sin will be, as Child - but we know what the Holy Spirit will be, as a Child. If Revelation can describe...

    If you can't stop (I know the feeling), choose someone you know can trust to lust after

    Hi there, Yeah so you might need to pray about this, that God give you someone you know you can trust to objectify "sexually" - someone you would marry, if you had the choice. The point being that you lust after this one person and only one person - even if you are tempted to lust after...

    Sin, Animal sacrifices, Ultimate sacrifice, Eternal salvation

    The 1st animal sacrifice (an innocent dying in place of the guilty) for sin happen in the garden of Eden. Adam & Eve CHOOSE to SIN = transgress heavenly law. Their sin/transgression had to be pay heavens required price. Rom 6:23 the wage (cost/price) for sin is death. Heb 9:22 And almost all...

    I was in despair, "how can I be saved, once and for all?" then I saw Heavenly Word:

    Hi there, I was in despair, saying to myself "how can I be saved, once and for all?" because it seemed that there was no end to my sin - only more repentance, without end... and I saw this Heavenly Word on the images page of a search for immutable mercy: ...and I realised, it is actually an...

    To be Gods will

    I have an important message of encouragement for you my dear fellow Christians. Luke 10,41-42 - and my opinion on what sloth points to as a deadly sin. In todays society philosophers, physicists, mathematicians and artists are not celebrated. The celebrities of today do in fact NOT bring the...

    Just as a general word of advice, walking with the Spirit, starts with being prepared to be angry at

    ...the Devil. The Devil will have his own reasons, for doing what he is doing - but if you leave him to act unconfronted, he will make your life worse, in so many ways. You really have to be prepared to be angry at the Devil. He does not know one sin from another, he does not know how to...

    Believer, hear O believer: you are going to have to repent, to the end, to have been saved

    Hi there, So I have struggled with this so much, and I can save you time: it won't make a difference - your salvation - unless you repent to the end (you really must commit). This is the seed that brings forth a hundred, sixty and thirty fold - the seed that takes root, and goes beyond...

    Is it possible not to sin ? (All sins)

    Recently I woke to the Truth like it says in the Bible: "Awake to righteousness, and sin not[...]" And I did very well for a month, I went from smoking every day to not smoking at all, and stopped other sins too. (Glory to God) But as I kept studying the Word, I realized there is adultery at...

    Just curious: why do you assert mutation produces information, when sin could produce masses of it?

    Hi there, So if sin could produce masses of mutation (dysfunctional DNA), why would you not expect it to produce masses of information? I mean that is just a one for one interpretation of the special place you give "mutation" - am I not correct? There is no telling what species could get...

    Christ grows more sensitive, to sin - not less!

    Hi there, So for all you backsliders out there, consider for a moment what you are really losing, when it comes to the Lord and sin. You are not surprising God, in turning from one sin to another and forgetting Him. There is no point at which God says "I have been mindful of sin, but now as the...

    What is redemption? How is redemptive suffering not an unjust whipping boy?

    St. John Paul II teaches that through our suffering we can share in Jesus' redemptive suffering and thereby help others achieve salvation. J. Sollier defines redemption as either 1) paying a ransom price for sin or 2) atonement for an offense. Together this raises two questions: How is...
