  1. The devil knows if he can con people in to doing sin then that makes them in opposition to the Lord... we should not be ignorant of satan's devices and be on the look out for His traps and recognize them when we see them. Another reason to talk about sin is because many want to keep their sin and still be right with the Lord and somebody needs to teach what the Lord says about sin in His Word. The Word of God talks a lot about sin and contains many warnings about sin directing mankind to NOT be sinful. Born again believers in the New Testament have access to ALL the power, wisdom, and knowledge needed to stop living in willful, knowing sin. To whom much if given much is required (Luke 12:48) so more than any other people throughout history... we have no excuse to be walking in sin. I say this as one that used to be so proficient in sin, I could commit sin without even thinking about it! (I grew up in the 70s and 80s party scene where the mantra was"if it feels good... do it!" which is a recipe for opposing the Lord and going to hell)
  2. That's what the catholics call purgatory... it's no scriptural in the least.
  3. Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God Only sins up to the time we repent and get born again... going forward IF we sin we must confess and forsake our sin to obtain mercy (Proverbs 28:13, 1 John 1:9) We know this is true because of Galatians 6:7,8 Galatians 6:7,8 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. Romans 8:13 if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. Our future sins are not automatically forgiven... this is why many claiming to be Christians are living sinful lifestyles because most churches preach this error. Sure the Blood of Jesus has the power to wash away future sins but it's not applicable to the person who is still living in sin. Once must confess and forsake their sin and quit doing the things they know are sinful and the things God's Word says is sinful to be forgiven.
  4. You've never been on the streets with the homeless? Thanks for coming by and sharing your opinion... I didn't think there was scripture for that.
  5. Revelation 21:8 the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. It's very simple. Jesus said those doing these things listed here will go to hell The ladies the guy was speaking about are living in fear and are cowardly rather than abiding in Christ trusting He will take care of them. We should have such confidence in the Lord that if someone put a gun to your head and said "renounce Jesus Christ, or I will kill you" we would have no fear and instead would rejoice because I'm going to be with Jesus now! That's a win win for me!
  6. Jesus preached to them when they were in Abraham's bosom, they believed, and Jesus led them out as born again Christians. This is why the Bible says Jesus preached to the prisoners in hell after he left His body on the cross. This is one of the things He was doing when He was in hell (he was not being torments by the devil like Kenneth Copeland claims)
  7. They may not be saved any longer. Being fearful and cowardly is somerthing the Lord says will cause one to have their part in the lake that burns with fire. They are actively and knowingly putting what others say before what God says! This is very highly dangerous to one's salvation because sadly those doing this don't hold Jesus as their first love. Revelation 21:8 the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
  8. God is not the One withholding healing, unless it's someone living in sin and want to feel better so they can go sin some more. If God promises something and says of Himself that He cannot lie, and He watches over His Word to perform it... if healing isnb't received, it's not the Lord that is the problem... it would be the person. Unless we want to claim I'm not the problem and it's the Lord that is refusing to honor His promises which is calling Him a liar. Those thinking or saying that are definitely not going to be healed because that's unbelief which is choosing to not believe God's Word. I've heard of people doing this with salvation! They go down front at an alter call and pray and are convinced that "well, God didn't save me today... I'll try again later" which is them deciding to not accept God's promises and due to not "feeling" anything
  9. You don't get out much do you? Listen to some of the popular preachers that wear skinny jeans they so many think are hip and happening... eventually they'll get around to "all out future sins have already been forgiven" which is a straight up license to sin! That's what got me to noticing this is hearing what people are claiming popular preachers are saying and I'd go look them up on you tube and they in your face with greasy grace This is why so many claiming to be Christians are out drinking booze, cussing, having sex outside of marriage, claiming to be gay Christians, cross dressing Christians, sexually attracted to child Christians, and the filth just goes on and on by people claiming to be born again All because they enjoy some greasy grace which all came out of once saved always saved, teaching people "it's not possible to lose your salvation" which the Word of God teaches it IS in fact possible for one to lose their salvation. But greasy grace fills the pews and puts money in the preacher's pockets and so... greasy grace is what all who have itching ears love to hear while they drink some beer. They'd rather smoke some weed then help those in need.
  10. Sounds like a good excuse for discounting what the Lord said in His Word. We all know who the author of this kinda thinking comes from.
  11. The bible speaks of people falling away from the faith. They can't fall away if they were never in the faith to begin with. It's good to go with the plain reading of scripture.
  12. Just because it hasn't been found yet doesn't mean this even did not take place as the Lord said it did in His Word. We also need to remember there are some out there that find evidence of biblical events and they cover it up because they are being led by the devil to do so in satan's ongoing effort to deceive as many as he can to not believe what the Lord says in His Word.
  13. That's funny... it's in the original greek text We wouldn't be trying to take away something the Lord said in His Word . . . would we?
  14. This is speaking of hell. There was a place in Isreal that was like unto hell, but it is is not the actual hell. Isaiah 30:33 say the breath of the Lord kindles it so we know it's not some place here on earth and we know God is not involved in child sacrifice Tophet is a location in Jerusalem in the Valley of Hinnom, where worshipers engaged in a ritual involving "passing a child through the fire", most likely child sacrifice to a demon named Moloch.
  15. Nah, not that terrorizing if all the Lord is doing is not handing out some rewards some folks thought they had coming and if they still get to be in Heaven even if they lived like the devil during their lives and were accepted by the Lord anyway. It's odd that some folks claim they are "terrorized" about not getting some rewards. Makes it sound like rewards are the primary thing we are looking to gain as a Christian is as though it's all about me and what am I gonna get? The real terror is the Lord not allowing some in to Heaven since Jesus did say "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER" (Matthew 7:21). Jesus also said thru the Apostle James to "be ye DOERS OF THE WORD, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves" (James 1:22) Jesus apparently expects His people to DO some stuff after getting born again. Reckon Jesus didn't get the memo from the so called reformers that salvation is by faith only??? (see James 2:14-26) The Lord says the following thru the Apostle James: James 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. James 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Apparently one is justified by faith AND by works.... and the man that believes justification is by faith only is a "vain" man. Sounds like either Jesus is wrong or the so called reformers are wrong since they teach an partial truth and leave the part out about works leaving the door open to sinful living (license to sin). Martin Luther was a known drunk so I can see how he would want to leave the part about works out so he could continue drinking his beloved booze which is living in sin! (see 1 Corinthians 6:9-13) Quite the quandary here... who shall we say is in error the Lord or the reformers??? That tis the question!
  16. No, it's not rare at all. When you see someone foaming at the mouth flopping around on the floor screaming... that's the obvious demon possession. There are those in the world among us that are seemingly in their right minds but they are demon possessed and they are agents of satan being used to do his biding such as head of movie production companies, the folks leading planned parenthood, people like George Soros and other elites planning for one world government behind the scenes, etc, etc These folks are satan's best work and his best agents because they can carry on a seemingly intelligent conversation but they are workers of darkness and have demons living in them feeding them information to carry out the dastardly deeds satan has assigned to them. People like this are reprobate and the Lord is not reaching out to them or seeking to covert them to follow Jesus any longer.... if these folks were to get saved they would have to recover themselves from the snares of the devil - THEY would have to make a move towards the Lord to start the recovery process 2 Timothy 2:24-26 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God perhaps would give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. And some of these folks have learned to hate God and His people so much that they have blasphemed the Spirit of the Lord and it's no longer possible for them to get saved as they gone a bridge too far before the Lord. So when praying for some wayward soul do you recommend that we pray... "Father in Jesus Name I'm asking you to get that boy a good 'ol case of rectal cancer to wake him up and bring him back to you. Amen" Seems like an odd thing to wish upon someone much less ask the Lord to strap some cancer on someone. Can you point to any instructions or examples from God's Word where either He said to do this or some of His Apostles ask the Lord to make some one sick... to FORCE them to their knees to return to Him? I'm thinking this is just the wisdom of man speaking and it's not of God at all, but if you have some scripture to back this up I'd really like to see where God's Word teaches this.
  17. There's numerous promises in God's Word concerning healing and it's always interesting to hear that some who otherwise seem to know about God Word for some reason reject God's promises concerning healing. If the covid scamdemic debacle has taught us anything it should be that medical science is very limited in what it can do similar to your financial advisor claiming gambling in vegas is a great investment strategy not to mention medical science is a for profit industry where making money is the top priority above getting anybody well. Now more than ever Christians need to learn how to trust the Lord for ALL of their needs, including remaining well. Of course we should do our part with common sense care for our body such as eating healthy, taking vitamins to make sure we are getting good nourishment, getting plenty of sleep, drinking lots of water, exercising, frequent tastings which cleanses the body of toxins, etc. But above all we should become as a little child and be converted (Matthew 18:3) to believe what our Father says in His Word knowing He watches over His Word to perform it (Jeremiah 1:12), it's impossible for God to lie (Hebrews 6:18), and we walk by faith not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). So, is there any reason why Christians should not take God at His Word and believe the following??? Proverbs 4:20-23 (see John 8:51, Proverbs 5:1,2, James 1:22… Most Christians don’t do this – BIG MISTAKE!) Attend to My words; incline your ear unto My sayings....let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart....for they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh....keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it flow the forces of life. Psalms 91:9,10 actually ALL of Psalms 91 is good! (see Luke 10:19, 1 John 2:6, James 4:7) Because you have made the LORD, which is My refuge, even the most High, your habitation; There shall no evil fall upon you, neither shall any plague come near your household. (only applicable to those that have submitted their lives to the Lord, walking in the Spirit by allowing God's Word to remain IN them… have I made the Lord my habitation? Am I living IN CHRIST by allowing Him to live in Me?) 1 Peter 2:24 Jesus carried our sins in his own body on the cross, so that we, being dead to sin, should live unto righteousness: by Whose stripes you were healed. Matthew 8:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. Isaiah 53:4, 5 Jesus has carried our grief (pain, anxiety, calamity, disease, sickness), and carried our sorrows (anguish, affliction, feelings of pain, sadness and sorrow): yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted....but He was wounded (to wound, to break, be slain or killed) for our transgressions, He was bruised (crush, destroy, oppress, to collapse) for our iniquities: the punishment (violence, rebuke) of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed. (He took our wounds, so we could take his wholeness & health in every area of life) James 5:14,15 Is any sick among you? (there shouldn’t be) let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. (Unfortunately, it’s near impossible now to find elders that follow God’s Word that know how to pray the prayer of faith… so one MUST learn how to pray / receive directly from the Lord for themselves!... God never mentions calling a physician but instead says "the prayer of faith shall save the sick") Exodus 15:26 If you will diligently listen to the voice of the LORD your God, and will do that which is right in His sight, and will give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will not put (allow) any diseases upon you, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that heals you. (Walk in the Spirit – See Romans 8) Exodus 23:24-26 You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do their works: but you shall utterly overthrow them, and destroy their images (cast down imaginations and every high thing, see 2 Corinthians 10:5) And you shall serve Adonai your God, and He shall bless your food and drink; and I will take sickness away from the midst of you. There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: and you will live out the full span of your lives. James 4:3 You ask, and receive not, because you ask wrongly, that you may use for your own fleshly desires. *Some ask for healing with no intention of walking with the Lord (being led by His Word) and ask for themselves for their own selfish motives not being in agreement with the Lord’s purpose for their lives which is to live their lives separated unto Him (Holy) departing from the desires of this world being in agreement with Him. James 1:5-7 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that gives to all men liberally, in spite of their faults; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed… For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. Romans 8:11 But IF the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you (allowed to live in us), He that raised up Jesus Christ from the dead shall also quicken (energize, make alive) your mortal body by His Spirit that lives in you. (see 2 Corinthians 3:17 – where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty, freedom.. this includes healing!)
  18. And to those that abide in Christ, enduring until the end so they can actually spend eternity with Jesus!
  19. I never advocated for that. I'm simply repeating what the Bible teaches which is one can be saved and then turn away from the Lord later and end up not being saved in the end. I can't help it if others decide to cherry scriptures that fit their preconceived ideas and ignore other scriptures that don't fit their preconceived ideas. It's their life so they can be cherry pickers if they so desire!
  20. See my earlier posts on the subject being talked about for the answer
  21. Apparently it needs to be repeated
  22. And some get saved and receive eternal life... then fall away from the Lord and become corrupt and no longer have eternal life. Having eternal life is ONLY applicable to those that abide in Christ. Only those that are being lead by the Holy Spirit are the sons of God. Those that are abiding in Christ are not willingly or knowingly doing sinful things because they are being led by the Holy Spirit into all Truth and God's Word IS Truth. We know the Holy Spirit would not lead anybody to do sin, so those that are willingly or knowingly doing sinful things are no longer Christians because they are no longer abiding in Christ.
  23. Are we still free if after getting born again... we go back to living after the flesh which is to be living in sin? Many do exactly this or never even turn away from their sin at all because they are told upfront that it's impossible for one to lose their salvation in spite of the Bible teaching one CAN lose their salvation. Romans 8:13.14 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. God's Word is very clear and this was written to Christians that when one lives after the flesh they are under condemnation. If they die in that condition, they will not spend eternity with Jesus. The alternative is to claim one can live in sin and still be saved which is sadly what many Christians actually believe even as they claim they do not believe that. We know they believe this because they claim you can't lose your salvation even if you were to live in sin... and this is the same claim the devil made to Adam and Eve Apparently some believe Jesus went to the Cross to make what the devil said to Adam and Eve to be true! The devil's claim was that you can sin and not die which is referring to being separated from the Lord which is spiritual death.... and sadly people are making that same claim today! One has to ignore what the Lord says in order to make such a claim.
  24. We hear that all the time to discount scripture... "it's just allegory" and is meant to say we can just ignore whatever the Lord says as though He was just joking around and doesn't mean what He says when it's "allegory" The roman catholic church was never destroyed... it's been around ever since the romans made Christianity the state religion which is when other falser religions were brought in and greatly watered down the Gospel which was all done on purpose by the devil. Sure the roman empire itself was destroyed, but the roman catholic church was never destroyed and they have been leading people away from Jesus ever since. In modern times we see the catholics leading all the religions of the into the ecumenical movement where they are teaching all religions lead to the same God and we're all God's children so the catholic church itself is leading contender for being the false prophet No doubt when the one world government emerges with it's one world leader (the antichrist) the catholics will be very busy telling anyone that will listen that this one world leader is of God and it is a grave sin not to follow this great one world leader who will seemingly be this great humanitarian leading efforts for world wide peace. Many, including a lot of Christians, will fall for this ploy since Jesus said blessed are the peace makers. Many Christians today believe the catholics and their pope represent Christianity in the world today because this is what"everyone" is saying. We can be sure of one thing, catholics are guiltily of the physical and spiritual death of many who desired to follow and serve the Lord Jesus Christ in this life. In their crusades they killed who knows how many thousands of Christians who refused to worship mary and submit to catholic teachings. And in modern times catholics are responsible for causing many many people to fall away from the true Jesus to follow a different Jesus and a different gospel.
  25. Yeah, lots of endtimes guys think this is the catholic church The US is not kn ow for deceiving and killing Christians but the catholic church is (and all the false religions of the world) - I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus Verse 9 - The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth There are 7 mountins souring roam where the catholic church is based out of. The catholics have greatly influenced the world to lead people away from Jesus to a fake Jesus which is spiritual fornication against the Lord. Revelation 18:4 - Come out of her, my people If you believe this is the US, when are you going to be moving out of the US to another country?
