100 plus 1........They cannot grasp the truth that ALL sin has been dealt with at the cross, NOW as children we get our rear end smoked if we SIN, but it does NOT cause the loss of our standing in CHRIST and it in NO way shape or form indicates that we say or choose to live like hell because OUR sin is covered...PAUL covers this and he was accused of the same drivel and blather.....

That is why it is important for us to have our lights trimmed and burning when He returns.

Matthew 25
25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
25:2 And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish.
25:3 They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
25:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
25:5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
25:6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
25:7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
25:9 But the wise answered, saying, [Not so]; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
25:11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

And as I have pointed out, and creation testifies.......fruit comes in varying sizes, shapes, amount and takes growth and maturity to produce....EVEN an apple tree is an apple tree some 2 to 3 years before it bears even ONE apple....OAKS take 20 to 25 years to bear...SOME people may be saved their whole LIFE and only produce 1 piece of fruit or they may be saved but one year and produce an abundance...............as branches WE BUT BEAR what CHRIST produces............HE gets all the glory....we get NONE

Yes, one size does not fit all. That includes both statements about what we can and cannot do at certain junctures

So what’s the answer to the question. One of his gave an answer and I did not debate him. What do you say

I could not figure out the question, so I had to go back are read your previous posts.

Seems you wanted to know if a person living in adultery, can be a real Christian?

If it convicts you in the heart, YES, but it short changes you from receiving Blessings from the Holy Spirit.

So if I were you, I would ask your significant other, to MARRY YOU. Yes, been there and done that, so HE could not Bless Us until we were Married. By the way, we were Married for 36.5 years, so HE BLESSED us a lot. I cannot think of a single blessing from God that first year.

Some people are hard of hearing

they keep being told 2+2=4. Yet they keep insisting we say 2+2=5, then get mad when we correct them and tell them no, we have said all along it is 4.

AMEN to that.............

Bible's math--> JESUS plus faith = eternal salvation/life given irrevocably

Cainologist's math -->JESUS plus religious hoop jumping MIGHT get eternal salvation if you do x, y, and z while not doing a, b and c

God gives us much more than that

yet He also showed us we can not obey them all perfectly, and we will never live up to his standard. That’s WHY he came to earth,

you need to study the law more. It seems to have not yet brought you to Christ.

MANY like judges, ps and a MANY others will say in that day...LORD LORD have we not done blah, blah, blah in your name...........they cannot grasp that they do indeed peddle the same dogma that JESUS addresses in this particular discourse.....WE 100% point fully to JESUS....they point to JESUS plus themselves........that is a NO, NO

Lol

you did not correct her my friend, she said good morning and posted an amazing verse

you have no gospel, the gospel literally means a declaration of good news of Jesus

there is no good news in your message, only a false hope and false security which is no security at all. It is all based on self and how good you are, and not how great and Good Jesus was.
