Why Allowed Into Heaven

Good question Rod. I would say to God, God, I surrender my life to you, for I bring nothing of value to give You other then the life You gave me. I want to be with you forever, and I am holding on to your promises, that If I give my life to you, you will forgive me through the shed blood of Your Son Jesus who gave His life for me. I repent of my rebellion against You, and ask for forgiveness, and by that faith You gave me, I believe and trust in your promises.

Meaning Of Born Again

Alan, what you call a lie is the Truth and you just refuse to admit it. When you say you can choose Christ while lost with what you call free will whenever you want to, you are saying that God does not rule you. Yet if it was not for God you would still be heading for hell. You cannot muster up saving faith, you cannot make yourself spiritually alive, you cannot even repent unless God grants you repentance, for all facts and purposes the Bible says, you cannot do nothing without Me." and you say you can. You are the one lying. You suggest God is not ruler of His creation, for you are a part of that creation. You are saying also, I will love Him if I want to love Him or not, so who is ruler of your life? You. A simple fact, not a lie.

Are You A Hated Person

The whole Bible consist of God choosing individuals all through History. From Adam and Eve, to the nation of Israel over others. To the Gentiles later in history, to every individual who are called His elect. The calling of Grace begin after the fall and has continued to the present age. It is God calling individuals, for no one lost seeks after God. They run from God. It is a fallen world, and individuals are children of wrath until God calls them, draws them and they become children of God. Not everyone will be call. God is under no obligation to save all, if He was He would have saved all of them for He lacks no power with Him. All are heading to hell already, that God saves by grace anyone is a miracle, for He could have saved none.

False Teachings In Church

Cluny, doesn't the word "ALL" mean all? You said what Steven said was true. "ALL denominations are a product of Satan.\\ That's true, Steve." Those were your words, and since all means all, you said you were Eastern Ordodox denomination. Different then the RCC. What makes a denomination, is the difference in teaching from one Church to another. And you say you are not RCC. So you are a denomination, and all means all. But both of you are wrong. Not every denomination is bad, it is bad when people like you with your teachings and ideas enter another church, example, worshipping Idols. Justifying it is ok to worhip idols, because it is not worshipping to get on your knees and pray to them.

Ten Commandments In Force

Jerry, God did remind me to keep the Sabbath, and I do on every Sunday. You are trying to pull hairs Jerry as always with you legalistic views. In your mind Saturday is a much better day then Sunday, while I think all days are great. Seoncd, a person does not have to read minds in order to see what you are doing. You of all people can be read very easy. "You will know them by their fruits" That is how I know what you are up to. You want to stay under the law that is your decision. No one is stopping you. There is Pharisees today, wolves in sheeps clothing. Scripture warns us of those who are legaistic, from withing the body of Christ who condemn those whom God has already bought with His blood.

God Created To Torture In Hell

Alan, of course the fall was in God's plan. He didn't make Adam sin, he permitted him to fall. He knew he would. If the fall was not in God's plan, why would Jesus be a sacrifice for sin before the foundation of the world? No one was created yet. God did not introduce sin, Satan and then Adam did. He knew they would fail. If God didn't want sin to enter, He would have created a plan without sin been possible. He is God and could do anything He wanted. But He didn't. That God knows who His elect are has been known to Him also from the foundation of the world. "Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world" Eph. 1:4.

Is There Original Sin

Miche, don't you listen to what you say? Here is what you said, Mark, Angels existed to do God's will BEFORE the world was created. God knew man had the capacity to sin. WHY" Miche, Before the foundations of the world no one but God was there. That He created angels is true. You said God knew man had a capacity to sin" of course He did, He created him that way. He could have created him without the ability to sin. And He could save the whole world if He so had desired. And since He gave men the capacity to sin, He knew they would. He doesn't make them sin, they sin because they love to sin. You need to keep studying.

How To Make BoyFriend Love God

Carla, this is how I interpret Scripture concerning this topic. God has rules we should follow, He also has commands we need to do. Whatever He has is for our own good. He Knows when we sin, we will suffer the consequences. It isn't that God doesn't want us happy, and restricts us from many things, it is that He cares for Our well being. When we enter into a relationship with someone who is lost, we are taking a chance where we have been warned. For one, no one can change another person. We don't have that power. God is the only One who can change a heart. He along. The moderator is correct, get out of the relationship. There is no question that God has turned a heart before, but there is no gurantee it will happen again.

Did Saul Go To Heaven

Thank you Michael and Betty and Nana for your answers. When I read this story in 1 Samuel I also believed it was a prophesy that came true against Saul. It is not even hard to interpret what happened. That God cannot do something is so rediculous. That is one of the problems I see when others answer. God will even use the devil if He so pleases. To think that God cannot do with His creation what He so wants is pretty far out. A Sovereign Supreme God who knows all and controls all, restricted by something or someone is also rediculous.

Husband Doesn't Love Me

Cynthia, I believe the answer Patricia gave is a great one. I would also add, that when someone wants to move out, or says, they don't love you, there is really something very wrong with him that you might not even know. Too many things could be going on with him that you don't know or understand, but one thing I advice you, and never beg for him to come back. If you beg, you have done nothing about the problem he has. It will still be there until it changes. Most of the time it happens again and again. Sometimes though it hurts, it is better for the person to leave. Gives you time to think and gives him time to change. Sometimes it takes a long time. Listen to Patricia and others for help. My prayers are for you and family.

Did Saul Go To Heaven

Kathr, Your not happy discussing Scripture, it's hard for you without throwing accusations. You follow me on other blogs. I realized when I came on line people are not all bad. That they might have a different interpretations of a passage. That maybe they were taught denominational practices, and also that some just want to cause trouble. Since I cannot tell which one it is, I discuss to the best of my ability what I know to be True. I don't assume that you are the antichrist, because I don't know. It is foolish for me to say such stupid things to someone if I don't know. But you do as if you know they are. You make a coments together with accusation. You didn't do this before, now you do. Get right with God and answer for His glory.

How Can I Save My Marriage

Alexa, I was once in charge of the man and women who had been devorced or separated. And I myself went through the same thing. The worse thing you can do is beg someone to come back. What normally happens is that the partner will return but he will return with power over you. The more you beg the worse it gets. Just remember if he returns back, the problem is still there. It has not gone away. I met a brother in which he wife had left him, and he begged her to come back. She did and every friday she would leave and come back on Sunday. There was nothing he felt he could do but take it. I told him not to take her back. She had only been gone one week. How can she change in one week I told him. Be he didn't listen. He loved her so much.

How Can I Save My Marriage

Alexa 2: People make mistakes and even though many are Christian they too make mistakes. Many don't want to separate because they fear the partner will not return back, or they might meet another girl, but really they can meet another girl when they are with you anyway. What needs to happen is for the one that wants to leave, who tells you, "I don't love you anymore, is because the problem is big. When you ask God to change the person God begins to work in you and him. It takes time, and sometimes they don't return. Patricia gave a good answer on the other blog. Do for yourself and the kids an trust God, that no matter if he doesn't return God will take care of you. You will never be along because He has a purpose for you.

Dead In Christ Shall Rise
	Gina, in answer to your question why have the body resurrected when the spirit of the person is with the Lord, I would say so that God can restore man the way He made him before the fall. Everything in scripture is about restoring back what was lost. When we receive our new bodies we will be complete in Christ forever for this time there will be no more sin.

Did Jesus Die For Everyone
	Christ died for His children. The wicked are not his children. If the wicked convert, then Christ would have died for them as well. He is a sustitude for all who believe. They have been counted as righteous by the blood of the Lamb. Learn to be approved

Did Jesus Die For Everyone

Mima, Jesus death is sufficient for all people in the world if they all believed and trusted in Him by faith. But since they don't, only the one's who have faith in His Works on the cross, count as their debts been paid. They are no longer condemn since Christ paid for their sins. If He paid for everyone sin, then no one owe's a debt, which we know is not true since many are going to hell. If God had paid their debt, it would be unfair for God to send them to hell.

Mystery Of The Gospel

Kathr, but at least I can talk to Trav amd many others. You get angry right away. I remember when you use to answer and didn't have to resort to getting angry. I don't believe everything everyone teaches, and they don't believe everything I teach, but at least we can discuss back and forth without having to call someone something. I know you are not the same as before and many others do too. I love for you to answer because if you bring something I have not heard about I will study it. You on the other hand know everything already and don't have to study in order to make bad comments against what you never studied. Your purpose in answering happens to be different then mind.

Christian Smokers

Micheal, you are right, because Scripture is right and Truth. The problem is that we are all working to that direction and not a single person has arrived to be able to keep the temple of God forever clean, at least not in this world. When God gives us those words and we read them they should continue to convict us on the habits and sins we make through the day. The one sin which I believe everyone has or displays is pride. The one here I see is self righteous behavior. I am holy and you are not attitude. God wants humble people. God is continuing to cleas us day after day.
