Anyone who believes on the Lord Jesus Christ can not only be saved, but are in fact saved. And we then enter into a lifetime of sanctification. Some sins fall away easily; others persist.
The one characteristic that separates genuine believers from mere professors is that believers identity sin as sin. They can do no other. The Holy Spirit has taken up residence within the believer and one of His functions is to convict the believer of sin.
Where this conviction takes place, repentance will follow.
Believers will continue to sin. If when you do you offer sincere repentance, my guess is you are a Christian.

What I think everyone needs to understand is that, yes- you can instantly forsake any kind of sexual immorality.

Things like dysmorphia and SSA are errors that can persist even after you disown them; they are like feelings. If someone is submitted to God, their WILL will become more powerful than any feelings or biological impulses.

If you have occasional, or even persistent dysmorphia; as long as it is not controlling your will/volition , then you are WINNING THE SPIRITUAL WARFARE, and no one should think to judge you. You were not a "bisexual" the second you willfully submitted and rejected bisexuality... and any lingering biological SSA was nothing more than a dying enemy trying to claw at you; and the same goes for dysmorphic feelings- it is an ENEMY RESISTING ITS INEVITABLE CAPTIVITY.

You might encounter some people that pretend like they are winners because they don't experience any spiritual warfare in their lives- but the only people that don't experience spiritual warfare in this life are the people that are already spritually captive or dead. There's no civilians- we are either fighting and winning, or not fighting and dying.

"Identity" issues are actually very understandable to me; especially in a world where the vast majority of people are living some kind of lie or distortion... everyone might not covet the qualities and properties of the opposite sex... but a lot of people are still creating some false identity for themselves that will burn up just as quickly, and just as hot.
many homosexual, drug addicted, and sexual sins would stop after an encounter with the Lord Jesus as the sower Parable explains the word of God that comes to them did not take root. Why?


1. they do not separate those who are bound in the same sin
2. they don't enter into discipleship where elders give them support
3. they enjoy sin and desire it.
4. No depth in the word of God; most are very shallow or biblically illiterate.

They are setup for failure. by the devil, "friends" who are engaged in the same addiction or sin.

That is not true there were two the Thief's on the Cross One said save yourself the other said this Luke 23:39-43


39 One of the criminals who were hanged there was hurling abuse at Him, saying, “Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us!”
40 But the other responded, and rebuking him, said, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 41 And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for our crimes; but this man has done nothing wrong.”


42 And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!” 43 And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”


The second Thief repented and admitted his guilt. We are not to live a life of sin and then at the last moment, hope we are forgiven.

THat is not being honest that is practicing sin and living the life you want to when God said do not do it. THose who practice sin do so because they love sin more than God.
Argue all you want but it IS true: Jesus accepted that thief.

That means by extension, every time I pray for forgiveness. Jesus accepts me too. And like everyone else, I sin every day. I also confess every day.

"We are not to live a life of sin and then at the last moment, hope we are forgiven." The thief did just that and was forgiven. In fact, we all do that. Have you not had even just a thought of anger, today?

But didnt Donald Trump say he could grab women's privates?
This will not be tolerated in the House of God. Not even by the grand, glorious, and pompous Trump who seems to believe that he has entitlements far exceeding everyone else. We love him, but if he cannot keep his twitching fingers to himself, he will be listening to the service from the speaker in the parking lot.

We all sin, including me and you. God is here for us all. We should live in a world where all living beings love each other.
Yes, we will all struggle to some degree against something until the day we die. We love you. You are welcome to come to our church. I have confidence in you that you will behave yourself and not try to grab anyone's privates. Everyone should go to Jesus on Sunday morning before they go to Church. Repentance, as you know, is a daily thing.

He made us exactly how He wanted us to be.
Please remember that, at this time, all men are born under a curse.
And the Bible was written by men.
Yes, but these men were inspired by God to tell His honest Truth to all. That means the Good, the bad, and the ugly. Don't give up. I know you have prayed much, but now you have some of us praying with you.

Maybe you were born into a situation beyond your control. It doesn't matter anymore. We can pray about it either way.

John 9:3
“Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.”

LOL I wont..

I used to be a bit of a sexual deviant but not anymore. Im neither proud or ashamed of that, its just a fact. Something that perhaps I can even use in the future to talk to people, my testimony.

Indeed repentance is a daily thing.

Thank you for your love, I need it.

Amen! Sadly, there are some delusional people out there who claim to be Christians, yet never sin at all and are suffering from a terminal case of self righteousness. (1 John 1:8-10) I have run into a few of these people who promote 'sinless perfection' on the Christianity Board.

Homosexuality is said in scripture to be the result of having a reprobate mind (Romans 1:25-32).

That being said, even those who are reprobate can be saved (1 Corinthians 6:9-11).

Welcome to CC, dear brother! :)(y):coffee:

Yes, we must acknowledge sin for what is. We cannot hide it, brush it under the rug, or call it by any other name. We must do our best to live holy lives before our Lord and Saviour. Salvation is not a licensee to ignore sin.

Jesus accepted the Person the thief did not make it in THe " Thief " is in context to the action he did to get crucified. Which he admitted or repented of to Jesus. Also, the other thief, I don't think, made it. why did not both thieves receive the same word from Jesus? Because was hurling insults and mocking. Yes, Jesus forgives every time. BUT Repenting means you have turned away from that Sin.

Nothing better to do I guess.

Yes, there is nothing that we can do that is better than to proclaim what is written in the word of the Lord.

Those who are perfect have the attitude that we have not yet arrived (Philippians 3:12-15 (kjv), esp. v.15).

I was reading here and it reminded me of what I recently heard this well known preacher say. He said "there are those that "say" they are Christians yet don't go to Church". Now there is a truth in what he says but knowing him over the years and how he personally feels about people going to Church or not.. it makes sense.

I know the day He found me I was like 8-9...yet didn't know Him or love Him.. how can you love someone you don't know. It was .. so many many many.. I mean many lol years later that I see through His eyes and no matter who I see today I must always look back and remember He found me...He saved me. I was and still in this flesh no different then anyone else. We all do have something wrong or not right that others seem to have mastered. Yet we also have masted something they have not.

We need to always speak word of life...always say things that help others and leave (sorry) self out of it so we get no praise no glory only He does. Trust me its the small things we talk about think about that matters not to us but to GOD means everything. I know a simple smile no more no less can lead someone days later to get saved. Just a smile.. that smile they only saw CHRIST.

No. The idea of not giving others a chance is foolish.

Not accepting others is not love. It is another sin. Our pride leads us to not accepting others. Racism is not letting others in. Letting others in because they are of another color is not sin but acceptance and love.
When it comes to politics, or a job, is should be about who is the best qualified, and not skin color.

We should not allow someone to have political office, or a job, because of their skin color and not be as qualified as someone else.

In the case of a job and they have to hire a minority which it can be over someone that is white that is more qualified is not right, and that white person has to eat just the same as that minority.

I do not view it as there being minorities in America for we are all Americans.

Every time a Mexican that comes to America that can work will get a job leaving an American without a job.

So they set up the Mexican and it does not matter if the American is homeless when they are a person just like the Mexican.

They say illegal immigrants hurt the black community, but the Democrats want the border open, and they say they care about black people, and then allow Mexicans to come illegally for the border is not protected.

But it is a Democrat agenda to cause the white people to be the minority, and boost the minorities, because they cannot establish their agenda as long as the major influences are operating.

And that agenda is the way they interpret the Bible at the top level of the Democrat party which is according to the occult and evolution, and people are still evolving to be spiritual, and Jesus evolved to be an ascended master, and there is no God, and the New Age Christ is the final teacher and above Jesus.

Which is the new age movement that had a hand in the 1960's counter culture movement to the people away from the 1950's attitude.

That would set up the nation to be accepting of the Woke movement that is the minor influences pushing for power saying the major influences are oppressive which is the second counter culture movement.

That would set up the attitude to accept the new age movement which is the 3rd counter culture movement.

Which would cause the attitude to accept the New Age Christ, antichrist, as he pushes the agenda of the new age movement believing they will evolve along with him to be spiritual, and a god, which they follow Lucifer which he will be possessing a human body.

The United Nations and Science is with the new age movement.

The Democrats are boosting the minorities and knocking down the major influences even lying about them because that is the only way they can establish their agenda in society.

Look at the 1950's attitude, and the behavior of the people, when the major influences were operating before the 1960's counter culture movement, and the minor influences were not raising a big fuss.

Which they called it the golden years, and people got along better, and now look at it with the Woke movement, and it will get worse.

For the Woke movement is more hateful, and mean spirited, than the people that do not go along with them, and they will only get worse.

These people will accept the new age movement which God said that their conscious is seared with a hot iron for they will be terrible when the new age movement is the standard in the world and will go against all people who oppose them believing they are doing the will of nature.

The Woke movement is just another group that is pushing for power and control like all the groups, and are no better, and not kinder.

But they are worse.

So all of the boosting of minorities is of the Democrat party so it will not be fair as they cater to them, as well as the LGBTQ community, transgender.

But the Democrats are using the black people, and Mexicans, as puppets in their game, because the new age movement is a Caucasian led plan and the 2 biggest influencers are 2 white women, and they focus on Aryans, white people.

And the New Age Christ will really be a white supremist to be shown in due time when he uses the world's power to knock down all people that are an obstacle to the kind of world he wants.

He will come in like he cares about all people just like the Democrats but then the world will knock down certain groups they feel does not belong in their world, and the world will be thinned out slowly as he knocks down these groups, and the world that goes against them at the same time.

Which the Bible says by peace he shall destroy many.

That is your Woke movement right there terrible people that jump on board to exalt themselves, and want attention, and believe they are special that will lead the charge to accepting the new age movement.

All the while saying the major influences are oppressive but they will be the worse of all.

People do not like when another group has more influence so they try to knock them down saying they are toxic, and bad, and then they do the same thing, and maybe worse, and want the same thing.

I've come across differing views on this and would like to see others' biblical evidence one way or another, if any would like to comment.
yes, homosexuals can be saved. whoooaa, wait a minute! ONLY CAN A HOMOSEXUAL BE SAVED IF HE TRULY REPENTS. so right now if a homosexual chooses to be with the Lord by proclaiming Jesus as his personal savior, he will be saved. BUT HE MUST STOP THAT SINFUL ACTIVITY. UNREPENTANT SIN IS NOT FORGIVEN! read & learn John 9:31. i talked to lesbians who THINK they became born again & they think God is still going to save them when they are committing willful unrepentant sin. what's the sense in becoming born again if that's true? NO, NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!!!
