Is there anyone on this forum who considers themselves to be saved and believes that they no longer sin? Please raise your hand so that I may ignore all future comments that you make! Being saved does not mean that you no longer sin. We all sin every day in ways that we don't even realize at...

God does not treat everyone of His fallen creatures exactly the same. He can do as He pleases! He is the potter! Men today, are a fallen creature – due to Adam's Sin. Since that time, we are all born as fallen creatures. Why? Because our heart is not right! We are at enmity with God! As...
