Yes! As it says in Roman's 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the  gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Given that The Lord had rescued Paul from mortal danger in just about every city he visited, HS could have very well been informing Paul that if he ignored the warning then God would not rescue Paul this time.

Yes it is. 2 primary reasons in addition to the verses mentioned: 1)  any sexual act outside of marriage is considered by God to be sexual immorality 2) God defines marriage as between man and woman --" and the two shall becomeone flesh " Therefore, it is impossible for 2 men or 2 women to...

In other words, God shows no favoritism.

Internal residence vs external influence

But they  look so religious with their fancy robes and pointy hats and statues and crucifixes and sermons in Latin and so on.

Not to mention the Spanish Inquisition (even if no one expected it)

Lol, the Catholic church is wrong about a great many things.

In fact, the general standard for determining what should be church doctrine is that It was said or done by Jesus in the Gospels and it is confirmed in the Book of Acts. As far as I understand, this is to differentiate between what was for all vs what was meant specifically for the Jews at that...

The key is Godly sorrow produces repentance. Repentance by definition, unlike regret or remorse, leads to action. That is, taking action to correct the issue to ensure it doesn't repeat. Worldly sorrow leads to regret and remorse, neither of which necessarily lead to action. One will feel bad...

"I will keep you from the hour of trial..." seems pretty self-explanatory to me. Especially considering the Greek word for 'from' in this context means 'to remove'. Can't really imagine Christ locking them up in a giant plastic bubble somewhere. And dont talk like you know me. You're not even...

This is truth: Rev 3:10 "... he who overcomes will not face the hour of testing..." Christ promises here that the living who are in Christ (have overcome the world) will be raptured  before the Tribulation (hour of testing) commences. Now you can call Christ a liar if you wish, but I wouldn't...

This right here. As plain and straightforward as it could possibly be. And yet there are those who will not accept this because they think it too simple. The sinful nature wants to complicate things -- to add unnecessary steps and conditions to things. People need to understand that God doesn't...

Definitely agree. While the history of Israel is at the forefront of most of the OT, there are 2 underlying themes throughout: 1) Documentation of Jesus's genealogy from Adam>>Noah>>Abraham >>Jacob>>David>>Joseph. 2) Prophecies about Jesus The Gospels in the NT, obviously, about Christ's...

John 14:6 "I am The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." Note the sentence structure here is declaratory. Jesus was making an unequivocal statement of fact

Precisely. The operative word here being 'IN' and not 'TO'. When we are in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit prays both with us and for us.

Referring to our Lord Jesus Christ as "Man-God" tells me that what follows is suitable for fertilizer and not much else.

Well, it's not a second-hand emotion. I can tell you that much.

The problem is when you try to separate gay as its own classification.  Any intimacies outside of what  GOD defines as marriage in scripture all fall under the category of sexual immorality. Adultry, premarital, gay, etc all fall under the same heading. As Christian brothers & sisters, we can...
