Escape ? No. Life ? No. Understand ? No. Easy ? No. Obvious ? No. Hope ? No. Everyone ? No.

And the defense of your own false allegations that people are making false allegations about false allegations to start with ? See? Does anyone come here thinking it will be like an oh so nice sunday school class, nice and peaceful and quiet ? When JESUS says "I come not with peace, but a sword", and for good reason. (The FATHER'S KINGDOM)

Amein ! HalleluYAH ! biblehub.com/malachi/3-18.htmSo you will again see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him."

When they are raised with idols all their lives, what can they do ? How can they escape sin, family, friends, and community of idol worshippers ? (i.e. their whole support system, their whole life)

COOL! Very similar to : (at biblegateway dot com) Hebrews 13:5-6Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC) Let your [a]character or moral disposition be free from love of money [including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions] and be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God] [b]Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor [c]give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [d][I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor [e]let [you] down ([f]relax My hold on you)! [[g]Assuredly not!] 6So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently and boldly say, The Lord is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm [I will not fear or dread or be terrified]. What can man do to me?

Yes, and even at the time the Apostles lived, those who were immersed are the ones who accepted MESSIAH Y'SHUA , and those who opposed them, those who rejected MESSIAH Y'SHUA, were the ones not immersed, as written in YHWH'S WORD. Those not immersed have always (or often ) since then, throughout history, around the world, been violent against YHWH'S WORD AND against HIS children . Because Y'SHUA said it is necessary to fulfill righteousness. The devil is UNrighteous. I haven't heard it called 'gateway' so much, as simply the first action taken in faith for believers. Yes, kind of like a gate, as we cannot approach the FATHER at all, except through Y'SHUA the (gate|door|way|life), and Y'SHUA asks the disobedient ones: "Why call me Master, but don't do what I say ? " Yes and many other revelations in SCRIPTURE as well. (for interesting example from TORAH - see that all those who passed through the sea with MOSES were testifying of their choosing to follow YHWH, to be HIS people as YHWH had called and chosen them - INCLUDING goyim/ gentiles/ Egyptians/ who went with them through the sea.

So ? If someone sins the sin that leads to death, I think, in general, they are not sealed until redemption. Different persons/ different lives.

Isn't this what almost everyone has been saying all along too ? As the content of your posts (and theirs) shows repeatedly. Is it wrong sometimes, all the time, or never ?

Haha, hi again... Perhaps you can show a local Church body where the city it is in, or the county, sees GOD'S GLORY in its people ? (edit in: AND where they are never bored, btw) I've met a lot of people who have been observing for decades, and so far they cannot show one. (oh, it is true, there are assemblies that YHWH does show forth HIS GLORY thru; but not many; as witnessed by outsiders (the self-proclaimed 'glory' of an assembly about itself doesn't count.... what others see and say and witness when YHWH really shows HIS GLORY, that's what counts) .... Perhaps "love" as written and described in Y'SHUA'S WORD is a better example: "They will know you are my disciples by the love you have for one another"..... Where is this observed, for instance ? (Noting that many residents(in person, and online testimonies) have noted the opposite , in their local areas - instead of love, even love for one another, as written, they see something else - in sharp contrast, contrary to love)

.... there is a sin that leads to death - do not pray for this sin. .... there is a sin that does not lead to death... pray concerning this... In Corinth, many were sick and died, because of sin. (in the assembly of ekklesia) .... Likewise in the 7 letters to the assemblies or messengers, many are identified who perish due to SIN....

Shalom Marilyn, Perhaps someone can explain why JESUS never offered a sin offering in the TEMPLE for HIMSELF ? (as required by YHWH at that time for all the Jews according to YHWH'S WORD/ Justice/ Plan)

oh well. no where in SCRIPTURE does it say that I sinned any more than Mary did. Also, SCRIPTURE no where says that anyones interpretation of SCRIPTURE is acceptable , nor infallible. NO INTERPRETATION. That completely throws out all catholic teachings that depend on interpretation of evil men who sin.

short note: remember Yochanan the immerser would not baptize the pharisees who showed no signs of repentance. He only (obeying YHWH'S INSTRUCTIONS ) immersed those who came and openly repented. Also, later after Y'SHUA'S ascension, everyone who got 'saved' was quite obvious to everyone else, and had not only open repentance, but also a complete change of life; this is often seen in assemblies in third world countries, where salvation is literally life and death daily (they are subject to being executed any day), and their lives are transformed completely after they are saved - not just totally different than before they were saved, but also totally different than all their family , friends and neighbors and co-workers, AS SEEN and AS OBSERVED BY ALL THOSE DAILY. This is what is SEEN in SCRIPTURE, and in Foxes Book of Martyrs, and in the testimony of the saints in places where they cannot "pretend" or just join without repentance. Without good examples , it is often a surprise to find out the total change that GOD ACCOMPLISHES DELIGHTEDLY, WILLINGLY, and necessarily, in HIS people when HE sets them apart. i.e. people are not able to accomplish this , YHWH must, as Y'SHUA told the disciples emphatically.

You keep saying you believe in things , that are CONTRARY to SCRIPTURE (i.e. not just "not in SCRIPTURE", but directly contrary to SCRIPTURE.) So even if it could be shown, (which you have not shown) , that everything has to be in SCRIPTURE, it wouldn't matter. That which contradicts SCRIPTURE, all that opposes SCRIPTURE, is rejected.

Impossible. Since his testimony is in line with YHWH'S WORD, not contradicting it so much like all the mariology does, he would have to start believing a lie to be wrong.

Not necessarily Spock. Why would Levi >>> https://www.biblegateway.com/resources/ivp-nt/Calling-Levi if he was not a believer? (yes - there will probably be a slight clarification needed for this) Also, it had NOTHING to do with the question you replied to >> I guess by your interpretation (fallible/infallible?) of this passage, even Jesus would be in violation of 1 Cor. 5:9-12. Remember "The Call of Levi?" Mark 2:13-17. This is not at all related to the later instructions in GOD'S WORD, no , not at all. It is a mis-representation/ mis-understanding and not at all applicable. You see, Levi REPENTED = had a complete change of life, unlike many in the worldly churches. (where they don't have to actually repent, they just have to 'pay' for it, or act like it, according to their doctrines (published for what, a thousand years? ) ) ...

Notice the world church calls the truth a lie, and teaches others that, and makes them 7 times worse than themselves, just as JESUS says in the NT. And the lie, they call the truth. And as written in REVELATION; "they refuse to repent of serving demons" (the whole world, including religious people besides the remnant) yes, billions are said in SCRIPTURE to be irretrieveable , lost, because they refuse to repent.

YHWH did the end of the first week. Multitudes of Jews and gentile believers , following JESUS , have since the first century. You can be legalistic if you want to be, but it won't stop those who are following JESUS - they will honor YHWH'S WORD and YHWH'S SABBATH as they always do.

This seems to be the standard world's view, but in SCRIPTURE and in practice, in life... Ekklesia have much different actions and inner peace and joy and righteousness in JESUS, than the world does as people without CHRIST. All clearly and in DETAIL explained in HEBREWS, EPHESIANS, PHILIPPIANS, and other books in the NEW TESTAMENT and in the TORAH/ OLD TESTAMENT.

PERFECT! This is what ALL the Apostles, Men of GOD, disciples of JESUS, DID and DO TODAY. We can speak the TRUTH, because the HEAVENLY FATHER REVEALS THE TRUTH, and does not lie. ALL in line and in harmony , completely, with HIS WORD. (not like the doctrines of the rcc, nor the words of the leaders and teachers in the rcc --- those ones contradict JESUS every day) TRUST -- it all is about TRUST --- TRUST YHWH CREATOR HELPER HEALER - and JESUS HIS SON - or trust abominable men/ flesh/ carnal disobedient ones.
