No, resisting temptation is not evil. No, repentance is not evil. No, baptism in the name of Jesus Christ is not evil. Scripture commands all of those things. The question is not whether obedience is good, but whether obedience is the basis upon which God justifies a sinner. Romans 4:5...

From my experience, I can say that what he claims is true for me. I knew nothing about God, nor did I care. But when He found me, it felt like I fought Him every step of the way until I stopped resisting and began listening. My sins were many and daily, until they weren’t. I still sin, much to...

Paul is certainly arguing against reliance on works for justification, and in Romans 4 his immediate examples include circumcision (Rom. 4:9-12) and matters connected to the Law. However, Paul does not limit the principle only to ceremonial works. His point is broader: "to him who works, the...

Excuse me? And what sin are you referring to? And how could you possibly know what sin or sins I am guilty of?

I agree that Jesus never spoke as though the Sabbath were a burden to be discarded. In fact, Mark 2:27-28 shows Him correcting abuses of the Sabbath, not attacking the Sabbath itself. He said, "The sabbath was made for man," which certainly emphasizes its benefit rather than its abolition...

I felt the same way very first day here. But don't let it get to you as I did. Just stay true to the word and hang in there. I enjoy a good conversation if you are up for it. Let me know😊

I understand the distinction you're making between the moral law and the ceremonial law. However, my difficulty is that the New Testament writers themselves do not consistently make that precise division in the way you are presenting it. You are constructing a framework in which the Sabbath...

Love you too.

yet the way you two speak to others is?

When I say the clear verses should help us understand the hard verses, I mean this: if ten verses clearly teach something and one verse is harder to understand, we should not use the hard verse to cancel out the clear ones. We should first learn what the clear verses say, then see if the harder...

I found myself doing the same thing I was calling out. Not really sure what the post was about because I didn't make it past that verse and it was like a frying pan to the head. I knew right away why. I just needed to thank God and your post for the timing.

Thank you for reminding me. I know this post wasn't for me but in a way the Lord made it so. I heard what I needed for the struggle I was in. Thank you Pilgrimshope🙏

I do not find a biblical example of believers praying to departed saints, nor do I find any apostolic instruction to do so. Therefore, I cannot attribute that practice to the teaching of the Holy Spirit. However, I would also be careful not to declare that every person who does it is unsaved...

Please don't apologize. I actually think you're explaining it very well. Sometimes the things we grow up with feel so normal and natural that we don't even realize other people see them differently. Then one day you discover that views on family, discipline, faith, or gender roles can be...

unworthy of the Holy Spirit?? That is Dragon speech if there ever was! You are not the Lord! You cant judge who is worthy. Wow, the blatant disregard of his authority.

If we are not the same person in front of others as we are when we are alone then we would need to self examine ourselves and pray God remove the mask.

Satan has been behind you all day. Or is he in front of you?, hard to tell with all the smoke.

Your master waits for you little demon. go.
