In conclusion to the above, I remember before I was saved. I've always been "God conscience", but didn't know the truth. I would sin and ask for forgiveness. Nothing special or hard about that. Kept going back to the same ruts. That's because just believing in God and asking for forgiveness isn't en...

Make sure you know that the scripture means that you do not sin anymore. Sin no more at all. It means you are obedient to God's will. It means you've been filled with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues. It means you live holy everyday. It means once you get the Holy Ghost, you l...

I understand why the question would be asked. I was faced with it a few weeks ago in bible study. It does not say anywhere or imply as to what happens to babies when they die. All we know is God is the judge of that, read Psalms 98:9 "Before the Lord; for He cometh to judge the earth: with righteous...

Read all of 2 Corinthians 6:14 "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?" It's saying that a saint should not marry or be closely acquainted with a sinner. You have to be careful usi...

Dear Eppsjason, I'm thinking that perhaps the word "name" shouldn't be taken so literally. It may mean authority rather than the actual name of Jesus. This is analogous to saying, "Stop in the name of the law." By the way, Christ is not a personal name but a title. First, Christ is a title given to...

Matthew 10:39 "He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it". You have to read a couple of verses before that. The meaning is to love Jesus more than anything. If you love your own life more than Jesus, then you are not worthy of Him therefore going to hell....

Proverbs 26:4-5 are not contradictions. Verse 4 "Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him" is saying don't stoop down to a fool's level. It relates to Titus 3:9 "But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are ...

First, it is a sin in the eyes of God to act with someone of your own gender as if they were another. I think that has been established here with Leviticus 20:13. Second, any behavior that is not in righteousness (in other words sin) is influenced by the evil one, read 1 John 5:19 "And we know that ...

Psalms 16:10 are words from David, not the Messiah. The saints of old didn't go to hell, but they didn't go to heaven either. There was no death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus during their time. Therefore, there was no blood of Jesus to wash away their sins. At no time has sin entered heaven. Re...

You have to read more than verse 5. Start at the beginning 1 Corinthians 5. Paul is speaking to church folk. The fornication he speaks of is not pertaining to unmarried people physically having sex. He uses "fornicators" as being symbolic of those who are not saved. When you get the old ways out of ...
