    Sin and consequences

    All sin has consequences. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23 (KJV)

    Unbelief-Faith/Belief

    Do you mean chronological order? If so, yes. ... but he that believeth not is condemned already ... John 3:18 (KJV) We are born sinners and must come to believe in Christ.

    Alcohol Damages Health

    There's only 1 sin against your own body: it's fornication. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 1 Cor 6:18 (KJV) That's a reference to the church, not an individual's body. ... ye are God's building...

    Does Jesus save those who received grace and are without obedience to the faith?

    I think the grace in that verse is the grace for an already-saved person to spread the gospel. The 'obedience to the faith' is what other people do to become saved.

    No heaven for me

    I think there's a short time space (a minute?) after posting, where you can still edit your post without "edited" showing up in the post; but you still can't delete it. Maybe someone else here knows better how that works.

    No heaven for me

    Amen to the "God wants all people to be saved" passages you posted. But once you become saved for eternity, you'll always be saved. ...whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst John 4:14 (KJV)

    What if you cannot really enjoy heaven?

    Then you're calling God a liar. Instead of trying to respond to what God has revealed in His Word about eternal bliss by "imagining"; respond to it by FAITH. You have no excuse not to. Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and...

    What if you cannot really enjoy heaven?

    It's not possible to be in heaven and not enjoy it for all eternity. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 1 Cor 2:9 (KJV) And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and...

    logic and Reason Alone Can Prove Beliefs Inaccurate

    It seems that "logic & reason alone" would be a requirement for obtaining accurate belief that unenlightened man can't fully exercise. I would have to say that God's revelation (Scripture) alone can prove beliefs accurate/inaccurate. 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, ... saith the LORD...

    Did Jesus save those who ultimately hated Him?

    In other words, they died in their sins? No, they can no longer be saved.

    Blasphemy against holyspirit

    It doesn't say that they will never repent. It says it's impossible for [us] to renew them again to repentance by laying again the foundation (vs. 1).

    Ham saw his father naked, why Noah cursed Canaan (Son of Ham) instead of Ham?

    It could be that "his younger son" is a reference to Canaan; and we're not told exactly what Canaan did to Noah. Sometimes "son" can be a further-removed descendant; such as Jesus, the son of David.

    Blasphemy against holyspirit

    Is it possible for a believer to verbalize the words, "Holy Spirit, you are blankety-blank"; where 'blankety-blank' includes every cuss/curse word imaginable, Beelzebub, prince of demons, unclean spirit, etc.?

    Blasphemy against holyspirit

    Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. Romans 7:20 (KJV)

    Blasphemy against holyspirit

    That's the way I see it. Same with 1 Cor. 5:5, where someone "within" is being judged, but stays within.

    What makes a prophet?

    And God hasn't told you. If a so called prophet tells you, God still hasn't told you.
