@@stephaniemartin7021 I am not arguing with you. I am simply advising as a fellow sister in Christ to take a look at your beliefs and behavior before pointing at another. Is there blamelessness, kindness or condemnation? Do such beliefs and behaviors match up with how the Lord would approach the situation of your desire to help guide someone to clarity of the gospel? Are they leading by Christ's compassionate ways? I can appreciate your obvious passionate walk. Perhaps if you are truly concerned with someone's walk and the direction they may be going, maybe approach them with kindness and a helping gentle way. As yes, these times we are in are desperate, that being, even in these times we can move and speak as our great example Lord Jesus Christ did....with compassion and love.

The question is: Are we saying we are "sinners" for an excuse to sin or are we quoting 1st John, in which he wrote that "if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us".? .etc...Also, Jesus said to "make the tree good and it's fruit good"...but we are prone to sin no matter how hard we try, but it is written that we are to "submit our members as servants of righteousness" so that sin "shall not have dominion over us"...when we do sin, we have an "advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ " ..who is the "propitiation for our sins" , as well as for the "whole world". So when we do sin or we identify sin in our lives we are to confess our sins that we may be washed clean by the blood of Christ , having fellowship one with another!

@@WOODMISER2023 I have been seeing this a lot more lately, what name do you use for God? Yahweh or Jehovah

[@WOODMISER2023]

@@DonovanMercer Hello Donovan you ask a very fair and good question. I personally use them both as they are both good in my book although I know some who would disagree with me. I prefer Yehovah which is the same name you gave except there is no such letter as J going back more than 400 years. The letter J was added to the English alphabet about that time. Yahweh some times used as YHWH which is a tetragram. Which is a shortened way of the Hebrew name Yod Hay Vav Hay To be honest with you it is quite a study when you get into the Hebrew and Greek languages. One thing I know for sure is that God is a title and I think we should call him by his name and these are only two of them. Remember He told Moses to tell the people that I AM sent him. Then there is Abba which I personally use when I pray and also Adonai another name. Our Father in heaven has many names but there are some mor common than others. I think it is a matter of the conversation you are having with Him as to how you want to address Him. I hope this helps you some there is just way to much to try and put into a reply Blessings upon you as you search for all truth.

Would you elaborate?

[@DoyuLoveMe]

You can be "yourself" brcause your Creator designed you with a unique personaliity and gifts of the Spirit ang gav you, and each person, a certain measure of faith to cultivate and grow into being more like Christ in your daily walk. Name tat sin you commit and look it up in Strong"s Concordance (best) or put that word in a search adding "kjv" then read every scripture prayerfully about that sin. Then look up the word "overcome" & read every scripture containing that word. Christ is the strength-giver. His power is given to the willing heart to overcome day by day each sin you desire to give up to Him. When a person hangs on with a grip on sin they go down with it. When a person hangs onto the hand of Jesus, He brings you through the temptations, tests & trials. Jesus always provides you a way out. It is a matter of prayer, study, an exercise of faith & not getting yourself into the situation or with old 'friends' that keep tempting you and setting you up to sin. How do you respond to those challenges, to Christ's sacrifice and love for you? May every soul choose to overcome by Hiis power freely given to all who ask and believe. Christ walked from some communities and did no miracles there He stated because of their unbelief. Trust Jesus. With our Father in heaven there is no shadow of turning. He is faithful to carry you through. Strive my friend & claim the promises Jesus said He will give. Gal 5:22-23 is His character He desires you to take on fully. Be blessed & be truly free from sin as Christ empowers you. Fruit trees need pruning to flourish. Let Christ do that surgery in heart and be healed. Christ says to each one He healed "Go & sin no more". He makes it possible. Prayers for us all to exercise more faith as we look for His soon return. Prayers added lovingly for you sister.

Amen brother! When we get baptized to Jesus Christ that is our FUNERAL ! The sin nature is satanic (Self=Sin) - that is why Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil . The Christian life is an exchanged life. Your life for HIS life in you 🙏🏼❤️ "Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin." Romans 6:3‭-‬4‭, ‬6‭-‬7

[@gailbird100]

As soon as one thinks they are free from sin, the devil stands back and watches waiting for his opportunity to pounce. We were born sinners, and we will die being sinners. I don't think we should say we are not sinners, but should take personal responsibility to realize the devil always has been and always will be smarter than us, more deceitful than we are, cleverer than we are, and knows each and every one of us like back of his hand. I think when one says they are not a sinner they are deceiving themselves and that is when pride will come in and that gives the devil an easy target. If we are not sinners, then Jesus's life was for nothing. We are sinners as the bible says.

[@DonovanMercer]

I completely disagree with your first two sentences. Yes I was BORN a sinner, but I have been BORN again. My nature has changed from that of sin, to that of righteousness! I have been set free from sin.

Yes. It is a daily walk in faith & trust as Christ sanctifies us. We ask God to search our hearts & when we recognize what needs changing we submit our hearts fully to overcome that particular sin God has shown us. We clean our house & take the garbage out weekly. We mop up the mud tracked in & wash it away. We submit ourselves daily to be cleansed by Christ. He will not seal us in our sins. but from sin. If the garbage stays in the house it will stink to high heaven. It must be removed. Thanking the LORD for His cleansing of us..humbled hearts of prayer & joys full in Jesus

[@MasterRandyHopkins]

The concept of sin is ridiculous. The idea that a man has to be sacrificed and punished for something we did is ridiculous . According to the nonsense of christianity, God creates humans, instilling us with our nature.That is a part of god's nature. So God is basically saying that we human beings.His children are unworthy of him because of our nature that he gave us to begin with. Jesus did not die for one thing he rose bodily again. Is the wages of sin is death and eternal separation from God and therefore Eternal punishment in hell then Jesus did not pay that sin debt because he gained the keys to death in hell and was only inhale According to some scripture for a couple of days he did not remain in hell to suffer for our sins therefore he did not pay the full debt of sin like we would this whole thing is completely asinine and absurd

[@DonovanMercer]

I agree with you on some points you made actually. It is utterly ridiculous to believe that we are born in a fallen state at no fault of our own, and because of that be punished with torture for eternity. This is the ridiculousness of the modern church and their “doctrines”. Its all wrong. Because of this you have gravely misunderstood the bible and Gods plan for salvation and the reasons for everything. It makes so much sense when you understand it properly. I could direct you to a great series if you are interested. God is love and it is unbiblical to believe he would torture and burn people for all eternity

[@DoyuLoveMe]

Aporeciating you Donovan. Will you please also send me the series for study? No one loves us like our Redeemer for God is love. KJV of Gal 5: 22-23 & 1 Cor 13 teaches us from the love letter of His mighty words of life for it is written for us.

[@DoyuLoveMe]

At creation man was made in the image of Elohim. Continuing to read, we see then that after choosing to sin ( Adam wrongly blamed God for his action of sin as well as Eve blaming- neither taking accountability for their choice. When their son Seth was born notice the Bible scriptures say Seth was in the image of man. Now we must take on by choice to reflect the image of Love/of Elohim or the image of a beast., after the likeness of an animal with no reasoning abilities. Within our brains we choose to develop our Frontal lobes betweem out temples or the animalistic portion of our brains where emotions run wild to serve self. There it is that we develop the image of the Beast. I choose Life and the image of Christ to follow in His power & strength by His grace for He truly ioves us and desires our love freely given back that we my live eternally in His presence in heaven. The kingdom of heaven reigning in our hearts over man's ways of deception on this earth. Who's image do you refect is one of our questions.
