    Is adultery send you to hell

    The word believe (PISTEVO) means: to have faith, and faith means complete trust or confidence in someone. If we have complete trust in Jesus we must do what he told us to do (teachings he gave to us before the cross, that are applicable to Christians, and ALL teachings he gave us through Paul...

    Is adultery send you to hell

    If our salvation depended on the obedience of ALL teachings of Jesus before the cross no one would be saved. But after the cross Christ gave us new teachings through the apostle Paul, which are not impossible to be obeyed.

    Is adultery send you to hell

    Nice to see you, too! Now I'm OK. I went through a surgery to remove a benign tumor from the pituitary gland and four days later was discharged. On the following day, at home, I had a cerebral convulsion. I went back to the hospital and after two weeks was discharged again. Then while using a...

    Is adultery send you to hell

    Great question! In my opinion, the limit for cheating a spouse is ZERO. But I don't say that this is an unforgivable sin -- I just say the sinner will have to repent bitterly.

    Is adultery send you to hell

    Salvation is not gained by staying away from adultery, but adulterers will not be saved. I know many "Christians" in my country who cheat on theis spouses once in a while. They say you'll be counted as an adulterer only if you commit the sin frequently. God makes me feel that adultery is a...

    Are the words of Jesus not for Christians?

    Yes, Jesus has always been the way, the truth and the life. You must pay attention to this: after the ressurrection Jesus couldn't preach on Earth, so he used Paul as spokesman

    Are the words of Jesus not for Christians?

    Up until five years ago I had the same opinion as you, but I came across several videos and saw that the Gospels were primarily written to the Jews. Christians are not supposed to prefer one messenger of God over another, but we are supposed to make sure if certain teachings are still in effect...

    Are the words of Jesus not for Christians?

    Funny thing is that many Bible interpreters say there is no contradiction between Jesus and Paul, but they don't obey a number of teachings the Lord gave to the Jews. They don't keep the Sabbath, they don't give away all their possessions, they don't sacrifice animals (Jesus told the man heald...

    Are the words of Jesus not for Christians?

    We must give credit to every single word Jesus said, but this doesn't mean we have to comply with all his words. When the young rich ruler asked: "What do I have to do to be saved?", Jesus answered: "Keep the commandments". Do our pastors teach this today? No, of course not! It would be wrong...

    Is Catholicism the Oldest Christian Faith?

    No, the oldest Christian faith is the one of the apostles. Neither is it the oldest church because it was started around the year 313 by emperor Constantino. If you like the Catholic church you can stay there, but don't do what many priests do. The same advice is aplicable to protestants...
