    Is all scripture plain to understand?

    Hello Phil36 My comments are more related to 2 Peter 3:16 Peter explains in 2 Peter 3:15-16 that the writings of Paul are hard to be understood and people twist his writings to their own destruction. When a person analyses the teachings of Jesus; writings of Peter, James, Jude, John and Paul...

    They did receive Jesus and we know this because they called him Lord. But they did not have a relationship with Jesus because they disobeyed Him and therefore Jesus never knew them. As much as you have received Jesus, but do not have a relationship with Him because you choose to disobey Him...

    Jesus never knew them because they were not keeping God’s commandments. How do you know that God knows you? 1 Corinthians 8:3 But if any man love God, the same is known of God. According to Corinthians if you do not love God, then God does not know you. 1 John 5:3 For this is the love of...

    Even if the bible verses were in chronological order you still would not want to obey them and apply them to your life and would think of other excuses. I have asked you which bible verses have I put out of context and you are unable to answer me. Repeating that I put bible verses out of...

    I am not even Catholic. What you are saying does not make any sense. What does Catholic church have to do with the thread. The main point of this thread is that it is important to obey God and it matters to Him whether we obey Him or not. What has that to do with the Catholic Church? First you...

    The bible was addressed to different believers in the various parts of the world like Rome, Corinth, Philippi, Galatia etc. however, it is applicable to all Christians. Saying that I am speaking out of context is just another excuse of yours to not obey God’s Word.

    I have mentioned these books in different pages on this thread. However, even if I quoted verses from the entire New Testament you will still try to think of excuses of not obeying them. It does not matter what I quote, the problem is you.

    You are being silly now. We all know that Jesus died for humanity and not demons. My point is that demons also believe that Jesus died for humanity and have also professed that Jesus is the Son of God (Luke 4:41), but they do not obey God. Anyone can believe Jesus dies on the cross and anyone...

    I have been to different churches and have grown not to place reliance on the teachings of any church. How would you know what a cult is any way? Cults deviate from the bible and promote teachings which are not biblical. Since you do not read the bible and do not want to obey it, how would you...

    You asked questions and then you addressed them yourself in your posts. Why would I respond to questions that have already been answered, it does not make sense. If I had disagreed with them I would have responded. I was actually surprised at your answers because from your previous posts in...

    And which bible verses have I written out of context? You want to convince yourself that they are out of context because you do not want to do them because you do not love God. These are excuses because you do not want to do what God tells you to do. Also why does the bible have all these bible...

    Although the verses mentioned were addressed to the believers in Rome, Corinth etc. They are however actually applicable to all who call themselves Christians. To say that that the audience was only the believers in that area is basically saying that the entire New Testament does not apply to...

    Do you even know the meaning of the word Christian yourself? For you it is a name that a person calls themselves because they have confessed that Christ is Lord and believe that he was raised from the dead, but without any corresponding action or change in behavior. The problem is that the...

    Hello Runningman When you read the verses from chapter 12 to 19, you see from the context that it speaks about suffering. However, it does not refer only to suffering because of persecution, but also suffering because of evil doing such as murder, being a thief or evildoer in verse 15...

    @throughfaith, I noticed that you did not answer this question about the bible verses that I posted, as to whether they applicable to believers or not, or are these some of the bible verses that you choose to ignore because you do not want to change?

    It requires a confession to be saved. Getting saved is very easy. Talk is very easy. However, to walk the walk and behave like a saved person is the real test as to whether you are child of God or not. There are many Christians who are saved, but they still behave the same way that they did...
