All sin is idol worship when you get a revelation of the sinfulness of sin.

If someone is a born again Christian and they are tempted to fornicate, their conscious/Holy Spirit will both be telling them to flee, to get out, to stop before they grieve the Lord with this sin, and if they listen they will flee, if they don't they will be choosing the sin over their love for...

Read any evangelical commentary on 1 Corinthians. The eating and the fornication took place in the same temple feasting party. Knowledge about the 1 Century Corinthian culture is helpful in understanding the background of what Paul is talking about. It was known to him and the people he was...

They were both related. There were people within the church claiming to be believers trying to convince others that it was not a damnable sin to commit fornication with the temple prostitutes. They were also trying to convince them that joining these feasts where meats sacrificed to idols were...

The idol would be the person they are fornicating with.

I think the truly born again Christian if they backslide and start living in habitual sin will be so miserable they will repent and be restored. They will be afraid that they are going to go to hell if they live like that. If someone tells them "you are still saved, you just won't get as many...

We all donated. It lasted about 15 years. I think it was money well spent. I think Robo gave it a valiant effort. I am glad I was able to donate to the effort. I don't know but I can guess that it was never supported enough for fulltime devotion to the work necessary for such a project...

I am not sure why you are responding as if I said something debatable? It's not open for debate. If people in your church are fornicating you should tell them that they need to stop or they will wake up in hell with eternal regret. If you tell them that God will let them go ahead and keep...

Imagine this. He has great revelations and insight and the people are loving it and even the synagogue rulers are agreeing with his excellent exegesis and scriptural interpretations about Jesus from the OT. Then this Thorn in his side arrives and stirs things up and they throw him out. He...

He could ask for a particular person, messenger of satan, Thorn in his side that was interrupting his Church planting efforts to be stopped and it would not mean that he was asking God to deliver him from all forms of persecution.

Yes, but there is probably a connection. The person who was an enemy of Christ who was stirring up persecution for him was the thorn in the side. The infirmities are the things he suffered from the persecution that the Thorn in his side stirred up where ever he went. He would be doing well...

I don't understand what you are trying to say. Those who fornicate and don't plan on quitting are going to hell. And eventually will be cast into the Lake of Fire. It's not up for debate.

Epaphroditus was healed. How did you miss that. :) ye had heard that he had been sick. For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God Had MERCY On him; That is a HEALING.

Thorn in the flesh/side in the OT was referencing enemies of Israel left in the land. People. Judges 2:3 Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be [as thorns] in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you Joshua 23:13 Know for a certainty...

If we look at how "Thorn in the side" was used in the OT we discover it was always referring to people. Paul being so verbose with OT references makes me believe he was using that phrase in the OT manner in which his readers would have been familiar. It would be calling these people enemies...

If you pay attention to the context of 2 Corinthians 11 -12 Paul uses the word infirmities to describe his sufferings under persecutions and hardships for the Gospel sake. 24Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. 25Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I...

Speaking in tongues will cease when we are perfect in our resurrected state. Phil 3: if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. 12Not that I have already attained, or am already perfect; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid...

Most of them just want some cash so that they can get drugs or alcohol. They are addicted and that is their main focus 24x7. Help is offered to them, housing, food, rehab, but they want to use. Don't give them money. Give them a list of places they can go and call for housing, food and help...
