I can say something that is interesting. If defiance brings death, then spiritual defiance and reliance in god brings death to the sinful nature.

The good news is god cannot expect sinless beings because it is unachievable in this evil world. Think about it, even one evil thought is deserving of hell, according to gods standard. Because to hang with god, requires being exactly like him and the angels, and sin cannot dwell in his presence. I suppose if people wilfully sin then hell will meet them.

Everyone will be judged. There is no one that is not perfect according to gods standard.

What makes us free is the teaching of Jesus and knowing that no matter how good we seem to be, we always need his guidance.

Its true, hypocrisy comes in all shapes and sizes.

I believe that god can give us what we want if it is not lawless and against his initial will.

Thanks i will take note.

If we could stop sinning completely then we would be proving the bible wrong and making god to be a liar if we were sinless. Only Jesus is sinless and perfect. However it is required that we be more righteous than the scribes and pharisees to enter. Daily repentance and renewal is the only way. If we wilfully sin then we will not be saved.

I half agree with that. It is true that behaviour counts, but the main focus is belief in Jesus and following his teaching. To believe in Jesus fully is the only way a person can be saved as there needs to be a payment for sin. Only Jesus being the lamb of god, can pay for our sin because he is eternal from past to future.

What i understand is the soul is eternal and at the same time there is torment for people who dont follow Jesus and bliss for those that do, in a human's eternal afterlife.

Look at life today, people are doing these exact same things.

I dont think everything in this world is because of us, i believe that the devil is the originator of all evil in this life. Man can be not discerning enough to know that. Paul says we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities, spiritual wickedness, etc. The devil is really good at working behind the scenes, and working in peoples lives in the background. He often goes unnoticed.

Accepting Jezebel is heresy, and a grave sin. If you look into the old testament a lot of evil leaders like Haman and Ahab ,etc wives, encouraged them to persecute the assigned prophet of god in their time.

I think that divorce should be av last option but people take it for granted and dont even try and work things out most of the time. If they do they are not persistent in achieving success. It is easier to sustain a marriage then divorce and find someone new. The person would need to do everything all over again. I believe people should try to work on their marriage in different ways before divorcing.

As long as there is evil in this world there will also be wars and many other evils.

Very insightful

I always say that if the earth was billions of years old, then wouldnt we as humans be more intelligent. Wouldnt technology be extremely advanced. Think about it, look how fast the computer, the radio and the TV evolved. IF we were more older than we would be more intelligent, the literal cure through drugs and medicines for all illnesses would be about already. That is what i think. Nobody i have spoken to has responded to that statement.

It is true there are a lot of hypocritical Christians and believers out there. Paul says that we should examine ourselves and i do that everyday.

I agree with you, i teach it and preach it.

I dont think god allowed Solomon to have these wives. God knew that Solomon lust for these women would be his downfall, and it was his downfall. He wasnt allowed to have all these women, but Solomon made his own choices as a man.

You have the power to rebuke and force these demons out of you. Just use your faith and command them away.
