I am not in the market to buy/sell my home. I'm also retired so I cannot speak for the security to be found when it comes to remaining employed. But you are correct when you speak of older people being faced with decisions about what they should do. I have lived in my current home for about...

Yes I was.

Good point! I see what you are saying, covet is a thought while committing murder is an action. But doesn't scripture suggest that we can commit murder in our hearts as well?

A few questions for everyone. . . When you read through the Ten Commandments, do you tend to prioritize them? In other words, would you consider that [You shall not covet] is less offensive than [You shall not murder]? And, if so, do you think that God does the same, or are they equal in His...

Certainly the Ten Commandments should be our guide on the proper way to live before God. His commands have always been to direct us in how we should live. But, please hold up your hand if you have been able to do so. . . We fail every day that we live to obey His commands. They are like a...

Wow, what a coincidence! Both you and HigherGospel must live in the same town. The town must be at least 80 miles from the nearest civilization and only has one church. Limited choice! Otherwise, you would have no excuse other than you are unwilling to make any effort or you cannot find...

Wisdom “Deal with the faults of others as gently as your own.” - Chinese Proverb “A new broom sweeps clean but an old broom knows the corners.” - Virgin Islander “He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.” - Friedrich Nietzsche “Silence is often misinterpreted but never...

Why do I see so many profiles where people claim to be Christian, yet admit that they do not attend church? I suppose it could be poor health or some other good reason. . . :unsure:

We are told to comply, yet I do not believe that we are able to without change. The fact that we are changed reminds us of why we need a Savior. If we were able to do so without Him, why do we need to be saved?

I would never ask that because I don't know old man Johnson. :confused:

You have totally lost me. There is no act by man that is the cause or needed for salvation. We are saved by grace. However, belief and faith that comes from being saved is a volitional act, it becomes our desire. We are changed, and with that our desires change as well. Just as Abraham and...

That is true. Faith that leads to salvation is not present in fallen man, it is a gift that comes from the Holy Spirit.

I do not agree with what you say. It is possible to have both belief and faith and yet not be saved. Some believe that there is a God and shudder just as the demons do! Faith which results in works that are pleasing to God only comes from being renewed by the Holy Spirit and given to Christ...

Sorry, but I have never seen such a post. Would you please point it out, O man of little faith?

You might as well give up! According to them, King David had to be saved at least 10 times - because he continued to sin. It's either that, or he stands condemned even though he was a man after God's own heart!

Christ tells us in John 6 that He has come to do the Fathers will, and that it is the Father's will that His people be kept and raised up on the last day, to be presented spotless. Being placed into Christ does not make us perfect, but Christ did not come to save the perfect, He came to save...

I question why you are asking this if you are in fact saved. I think that you really need to examine where you are in relationship with Christ. If you say you are saved but are looking for an excuse to live in sin, then you have a problem. The very fact that you have been saved will make you...

There is no hope for Ouch! He has sat on his own sword one too many times. . . . .

It also teaches that we are incapable of doing so [in our own strength]. That is why we have need of a Savior in the first place! If we were able, there would be no need of a Savior. . .

Thanks! No matter how long I have been a Christian, I never tire of being reminded of His truth and promises. . .
