    Yes, you are your father's son, but your father can disinherit you for lack of relationship or lifestyle choices. And when this happens, you can not truly say that your father recognized you as his son in the real sense of it. Or else, he would not have disinherited you. Why should I ignore...

    When David's sin was made known to him, he sincerely repented and never committed that sin again. OR did he? He was however punished for allowing sin multiply in him. The minimum standard is to confess and repent of sins when it comes to our knowledge. When Peter realized his error, he wept...

    OMG! Do I have to tell you that Christianity "in its simplest form," is all about followership. What did Jesus say of himself? I am the light of the world, he that follows me shall not work in darkness but shall have the light of life. (John 8:12). His disciples followed him throughout...

    What I think is this. 1. There are still controversies about what this thorn in the flesh is. But for me knowing who Paul is from his epistles, I doubt if it means moral frailty. 2. At the time Paul was being converted, the Lord told Ananias and I quote, "Go your way for he is a chosen...

    OH, Chastisement! That's a big word. God chastises his children all the time but not all draw back to him. Some continue to go astray and perish for their ignorance. Once a son, always a son?

    I think you are having this misunderstanding with the OP because you are focusing on the how not to sin instead of discussing the subject matter of his post which dwells on the need for believers not to sin.
