God does not allow sin because of the sins of the person; God uses evil to bring about His glory. The world is under a curse, which therefore makes natural evil present everywhere, and it’s inhabited by evil people that are evil to the core. Sin can be classed as original sin, moral sin, and...

well you are very funny since I never said anything different. you butted into an exchange I had with another poster and told me you could not agree with me over something I said to him. you reveal nothing other than your now somewhat sketchy ability to follow a conversation. Which post was...

Sickness, and even death is the result of evil. God actually has a purpose for evil, He uses evil and sickness to bring about His glory. God’s glory exceeds the importance of whether we are condemned or not. More specifically, God is holy, He cannot do evil, and He cannot look upon evil...

oh I know you CANT agree because we do not have the same understanding Agreed I see you also do not understand what transpired that we are able to approach God as He is holy Supposition on your behalf, because you do not know if I understand what transpired, unless God wills it. But, let me...

In faith and in accordance with God's will. Faith alone will not bring about what God desires. "He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” Matthew 26:39 When we...

I can't agree with you here as it is sin that separates us from God "But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear. Isaiah 59:2 God's holiness brings us back into a proper relationship with Him, we should long...

Nice post, but I don't know if I would use the Hebrew translation, as I have entrusted the Holy Spirit to lead me to the scripture content I should use. The bibles I use are the NKJV, NIV, ESV, and NASB. From these four bibles I can find the scripture that give the most authentic meaning, and...

I don't see that in scripture about having another nature. That's to be reckoned dead isn't it? And its our mind that needs renewed to truth. "For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do...

No I haven't read that book. However, I would agree that we have Life (Holy Spirit) within and that we are fed by the Root. But we also have another nature that we are at war with and doesn't leave us until we go home to be with the Father, or until we receive our new bodies. Natural fruit in...

Thanks for the thumbs up. What do you mean by it's "fruit is natural"?

An explanation of the lesson: Has Israel ever been referred to as a tree, and has it be told to bear fruit? Yes, it has as can be seen through the message of John. “Therefore, bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say...

Note: The majority of scripture content was taken from the New King James Version (NKJV) Here is my reason why I do not agree with you. To begin, one should look within the context that the scripture was written, including scripture before and after the lesson or miracle. I find that Jesus...

A portion of your statement has left me troubled for awhile, so I went back to it. Moreover, I say this in hopes that it would bring edification. I believe you are making reference from James 1:5. However, this scripture does not say knowledge in any translation I examined. "If any of you...

I believe you are making reference from James 1:5. However, this scripture does not say knowledge. "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." James 1:5 Wisdom and knowledge are two different things...

It's not really known if it was his eyes, such is a supposition due to Paul's comment about using large print. What we do know is that God allowed a messenger of Satan to torment Paul, this thorn in Paul's flesh was to keep him humble less he should boast. 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 And lest I...

I do question the psychological effects that sin might have on the nonbeliever, for example: worry, uncertainty of ones disposition upon death, constant pursuit to maintain their wealth, never receiving real love or truth, issues of trust, and the feeling of emptiness...etc. For the...

If you did nothing to be saved, then your not saved. God does not force people to accept Him; therefore you had to make a choice. That is doing something. And in accordance with John 3:16, you would have had to believe in Him to be save, so again you did do something to be saved. I think in...

You made a blanket statement “But neither healing, nor prosperity is included in the atonement” which is not true. However, I do agree that 1 Peter 2:24 refers to healing of sin and unrighteousness, I have no argument there. However, sin can cause debilitating affects when considering the...

1 Peter 2:24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed. Believing in Christ's atonement alone does not save one. You must accept or receive the sacrifice that Christ has made on our behalf...

What you are stating is not what Jesus said. He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’...
