    The Sin List

    In the Bible there are a number of places where various sins are listed for us. Consider the following four passages, stopping on each sin listed to consider it individually, and see if you "relate" to any of these sins. Remember "If we confess our sins (in repentance, turning from them) he is...

    Free to do God's will

    Like Paul in Romans chapter 6, we can define freedom as freedom from sin. If we were perfectly free from sin, then we would fulfill God's will without fail. For the sake of argument: Would we be free (according to Paul's definition) if 1 and 2 below obtained? 1) God determined that we would...

    A Sorites Paradox for Christians: Backsliding

    In philosophy, a "Sorites Paradox" is a paradox concerning vagueness. Consider a heap of sand. How many grains of sand does it take to make a "heap?" Surely, one grain will not do. Two grains hardly constitutes a heap. What about three, or four, or five? In other words, the term "heap" is vague...

    Love, Obedience & Forgiveness

    1 John 2:1-2 ESV My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. Jesus...

    The Problem Of Evil

    Points of consideration: (All arguable, of course) God has created His beings with intellectual ability and creativity. Lucifer created the idea of rebellion—specifically, the notion that a created being can govern himself and/or others better than the Creator could/would/does—in his own...

    Unforgiveable sin

    hello I wonder if I have done the unforgivable sin. I wanted to say I love the holy spirit but I said I love my holy spirit. I said it more ignorantly and accidentally because now I no longer know exactly how and what I said it and whether I really said it or thought it. I had read somewhere...

    Genesis 20:6

    How does this verse apply to our lives in the here and now? Does God really restrain people but taking away our free will or was this only something done in biblical days?

    The unpardonable sin, Matthew 12:31

    Hello everyone, I am an atheist who has a passion for religions, and if there is a religion that has any chance of being true, in my opinion, is Christianity, due to all the historical evidences of the death of Jesus or things like the shroud of Turin. I have watched and read some books about...

    Decoding MYSTERY - with Jesus' words

    Hi there, So I had a brilliant flash of understanding, relating to MYSTERY (in internet terms: the "shouting" of MYSTERY!). It says in Revelation 18:7 "I sit as queen, and am not alone and shall not see sorrow" - which is a direct correlation with John 10:10 "the thief does not come forth, but...
