Well, sounds like there still isn't agreement on this. How about this as a suggestion: If you feel like anything you own could be used as a distraction or a form of worship, then get rid of it. If not, then don't worry. Let the Holy spirit guide you on this and it will become clear. In peace

Your perspective is interesting. It sounds like you want Christians to try and remain in God's love by obeying Jesus' commands. Is that so? What do you feel like most Christians aren't doing that inspired you to write this? I assume there is a reason behind the warning. What is this reason...

Have you considered the loss of rewards you are referring to could be losing our eternal salvation? In peace

Doesn't this realization start a fire burning inside you? A fire that wants to go and spread the truth among all the lies in this world? I am not sure, but I believe that God is starting to do something that will shake the foundations of this Earth. It is as if God is calling those that want...

I find it interesting what Jesus said right before He made the 'binding and loosing' comment. Let's read it: "Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 16 But if he will not...

You are correct, it does make things more confusing, at least to what position you are actually saying. I appreciate how you are coming across in a more conversational type manner, rather than a self-righteous, "I am correct you are wrong manner." That is difficult to find now-a-days. I...

This sounds nice and all... but, you didn't answer my question. I'll post it again below: How does God know that someone believes what you quoted above? You said we don't have to do ANYTHING to receive God's grace, then that means everybody (pagans, satanists, homosexuals) are all saved because...

Your reply made me laugh because of the truth in it. I at least take comfort in knowing that you can see that is the logical explanation to anyone that believes in such a doctrine. It is as the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 4:4, "The devil has blinded the eyes of the unbelievers so the glorious...

I agree. Just to elaborate and delve a little deeper: The job of the Holy Spirit is to remind us of what Jesus taught us to do during His 3 year ministry (John 14:26). Churches everywhere has universally rejected all of what Jesus taught, and yet claim to be a spirit-filled church. It is amazing...

I'm sorry, but I don't think you answered my questions. But I'll go by what you are sharing. If God makes someone a believer, then God chooses others to not be believers and receive this new birth? Is this what you are saying? In peace

It is a bit unclear to me what you are saying here. I think it is just a misunderstanding on my part, so I will ask some questions to clear this confusion in my mind. Are you saying the answer to my question is: a) God predestines people to go to Heaven or Hell? b) God wants people to forgive...

How does God know that someone believes what you quoted above? You said we don't have to do ANYTHING to receive God's grace, then that means everybody (pagans, satanists, homosexuals) are all saved because what Jesus did on the cross paid for the sins of the whole world? I don't think you...

It seems that you are saying that we should overcome the world as Jesus did? I agree with this statement. Through your monologue, however, I couldn't find where you mentioned how we overcome the world. I think you mentioned something about overcoming the world as Jesus did. If so, then how do we...

I think I asked this question(s), but I don't think I got an answer for it (forgive me if you already did!): What makes someone a believer Christ? How does God know who is a believer in Christ and who isn't? Is there anyway to know? In peace

"enable them to through the 'new birth'". What do you mean by this? What is this new birth, and how does one attain it? In peace

Another thought. If God allows people to believe and denies others to believe, then doesn't that mean that God chooses people to go to hell? This seems a little strange to me.

Okay. So we must believe in Christ. How does God know if someone believes in Christ or not? In peace

"Death where is your STING"? This idea of not fearing death just makes me want to praise God for that! It also encourages me to try all that I can to listen to that still small voice of God, as a way of showing that I appreciate what He did for me. In peace

W What must someone do to receive this grace? or is it free to everyone? In peace

Well let the mingling begin! How are you doing today, @bygrace ? I had to take a friend of mine back to the dentist because he got a filling yesterday, and a piece of it got chipped today... That was fun. I was able to solve some chess puzzles in the waiting room from the newspapers they have...
