Congrats. That’s has to be a heavy burden lifted.

I sorry to tell that scripture does not indicate that nor has that ever been a centralized tenet of the faith. You’re taking about hypocrisy. We are all hypocrites in one form or another. Are you saying you don’t sin?

Unfortunately that can occur and does. Of course it’s not applicable to every married couple, but enough to cause a marriages to dissolve. Again, sex is a very powerful blessing God has given and when applied in the the way it was intended to be, it really manifests into a unity(One flesh). When...

You stated that no one is saved until the resurrection which is absolutely untrue. Since you made the statement, I’m just asking what do you do to ensure you’re in Gods good grace until said time?

Of course it’s impossible. My point being is what do you do to keep yourself from falling into utter dispair if you believe you’re not guaranteed in the present age?

In all honestly, what do you do to ensure your destiny?

So do you go through life unassured? Is it a daily task trying to make sure your good deeds outweigh the bad? Are you chasing after hope?

Yes, I have read 1 John and understand the construct of that particular passage. He was speaking of sins committed by a believer in which physical death is was not immediately dispensed. There is a sin the does, but he didn’t elaborate on it specifically. Eventually we all die physically, as...

I do know that in Catholicism there is venial and mortal. We know that all sin leads to death without intervention. You lie once, you’re condemned. What I would like know is how many times can a person lose their salvation and then gain it back?

So, would it be possible that an individual weaves in and out of Gods salvation based on any transgression committed and the amount of repentance they have? I mean we sin almost daily whether through actions or thoughts.

He replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots. Matthew 15 :13

Good journey brother. Walk in the light as He is in the light that we may have fellowship with one another

I think it’s in part because we have expectations that are predicated on trust. When those expectations fall short, we are hurt. Slowly I have come trust fully in the one that always knew me, and has never let me down even when I was unaware of it or even understanding.

I know. So, the church you have been attending is causes some concerns? I’m content with one the I have been going to for a few years now. I actually feel like I have a kinship with a few of the members.

No, there is nothing wrong with using updated translations. Are there some that should be completely avoided. The Passion comes to mind, but the ESV, NIV, American standard are adequate.

I don’t think anyone would be ok with notion of eternal if they really knew what it was. Common grace falls on all of us. You still have the ability to find comfort from emotional and even physical torments. All of that is gone for the damned once judged. God’s wrath is continuously poured out...

We see fairness from a finite perspective. If we really wanted God to be fair, we would all have to endure His justice, which is enteral punishment. Grace from that shows His true love for mercy and not actual fairness.

The Prophet Jonah was so angry that he literally wanted to die. He was angry at God, the enemies of Israel, and probably himself. God didn’t give him what he wanted, and he was scorned because if that. God doesn’t give us want, but what we need, and it can be very painful. Is God only worthy...

Yep. Thanks Tucker. I just watched that. Same thing happens with medical insurers (Kaiser) and Medicaid.

With the prophets and apostles, they had an extremely difficult existence. Hated, dishonored, beaten, lonely, and many endured horrible deaths. I find it interesting so many today can claim to have the same abilities, but lack the laden continuity of such a calling.
