First off, excellent questions.

what is deadly sin and what isnt?

All sin is either deadly or forgiven. If you're a Christian, then it's forgiven. If not, then it's deadly.

how do i know im using the most of my time here on earth?

There really is no measure. Simply live ecah day as if though it were your last.

how do i know which parts of the bible havnt be tampered with by man?

That is very difficult and I'll go into detail later, however there is absolute proof that it hasn't been tampered with in the past 1800 years.

What is deadly sin and what isnt?.

There is only one "sin unto death" that is mentioned in the Bible. That is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. To blaspheme the Holy Spirit means to reject the Spirit and curse against Him.

how do i know im using the most of my time here on earth?

When you are expressing Christ in your daily life and sharing that enjoyment with others (preaching the gospel).

how do i know which parts of the bible havnt be tampered with by man?

There really is no easy answer to this question. As a believer you need to decide if you are going to trust the Word of God implicitly or not. However, without absolute trust in the Bible as the inspired and pure word of God then you are going to have many problems in your daily walk with the Lord.

why doesnt it feel that everything will be ok?

Okay in what way? If you are talking about the world, then your senses are right on. Everything with the world is not going to be okay. When the Lord returns He will establish His throne on the earth and the nations will be judged.

If you are talking about yourself. Wll, the first thing that you need to be aware of is that your salvation does not depend on how you feel. Your salvation is cemented in the blood of Christ Jesus. It is not based upon feelings at all. If this were the case then none of us are all right. You have to learn that faith is putting your trust in Christ alone, and taking your stand in His single and absolute accomplishment on the cross.

Thereaperman,

As has already been stated by another worthy member, these are some very good questions.

What is deadly sin? What isn't?

Truth be told, and as painful as it is. All sin is punishable by death which would make all sin deadly. In the Old Testament you can read much on this matter as well as cover a bit of this within the New. However, fortunately for God's lost children such as myself, we all had a loving Savior who came to die for us. If it were not for Jesus' price paid upon Calvary all of us would surely be looking at an eternity in hell.

How do you know you are using the most of your time on earth?

If you are living according to God's law as well as doing as you have been called to do, it is truly difficult to not see how you could be getting/using the best out of life/your time on earth.

How do you know which parts of the bible have/have not been tampered with by men?

As said before, there is no easy answer to this question. For one must take into account that the scripture has been rewritten several times so as to make it possible for others to be able to understand as well as read the truth/ words of God. Christianity has been a religion in which many nonbelievers have often tried to prove false with a question such as this. The simple truth is that it not only requires reading God's word to build a strong relationship with him, but faith as well.

Why doesn't everything feel like it will be okay? Why doesn't everything feel okay?

It is difficult to say for I know not the depth of your relationship with the Lord and am still rather young in my relationship with him as well.

With Love In Christ,
