Help from Evangelists, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

Everyone and everything has an appointed time. When God wants your friend to bow to him and confess that he is Lord, your friend WILL DO IT.

Paul is our example: KILLING God's ELECT; UNTIL his appointed time, and within seconds Paul is surrendering to Christ.

The age we are now in, is the age Christ is choosing an ELECT group of people to be PRIEST AND JUDGES. After the second resurrection, and in the ages to come, the rest of mankind will bow and worship God.

Psalms 22:27 And ALL THE ENDS OF THE WORLD shall remember and turn unto the Lord: and ALL the kindreds of the nations shall WORSHIP BEFORE THEE.

Psalms 22:30 A SEED shall serve him; and it shall be accounted to the Lord as a generation (the AGE we are in NOW).

Psalms 22:31 And they (THE SEED) shall come (with Christ at the second resurrection), and declare his righteousness unto a people that SHALL BE BORN, that he has done this.

1 John 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father SENT the Son to be SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD.

By definition you CANNOT be the Saviour of the World; without saving the world.

Revelation 3:9 Behold I WILL MAKE THEM of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews (circumcised in the heart), and ARE NOT, but do LIE, I WILL MAKE THEM come and WORSHIP before thy (THE SEEDS) feet, and to KNOW that I have loved you (THE SEED).

Hi Joe Yes is the answer I know born again believers who were into some pretty odd stuff Confessed romans 10:9+10 got born again changed their lifestyles got healed and are great witnesses to Gods deliverance. Confess the sin once don't dwell on the past no profit God looks at the new you the spiritual so move on with the word. God Bless

Help for Evangelist Reading your post is quite accurate His reasoning, 1 Corinthians 2;14 natural man receiveth not the things of God. The whole satanic thing is way overboard. Does he understand sin or John 3:16+17, speak the truth in love and pray for him and others remember 1 Corinthians 3:6-9 we plant we water but God gives the increase. God Bless I thought more about the cult thing the only religion in the world or if you wish system of belief that there are no levels to the top or twelve steps or secrets to the higher levels or understanding is Christianity. Everything God has ever done for man is written in His word everything that the true God has done throughout time has been openly displayed. His only begotten son said those who have seen me have seen the Father in every category. Everything to be known to Get directly to the Father God was made available through Jesus Christ. It is not a secret society, and He is the only man that God raised from the dead and is seated on His right hand. That is not a cult we do not follow something blindly.

Joe To answer your question yes I know of believers who are born again that were involved in some really weird stuff confessed Romans 10:9+10 changed in their hearts and lives according to Gods word and have great deliverance. All men and women are born dead in trespasses and sin without God and without hope, sin is broken fellowship with God when you Receive the word in your heart, you start to change, don't dwell on what you were or did in the past, 2 Corinthians 5:17 you are a new creation in Christ, so don't think about your past concentrate on present and future. There is no pit so deep that he is not deeper still. God Bless

Hi Mary On Colossians 1 Look at Romans 8:28, but the whole chapter is inspirational dynamite God Bless

Hi Gertrude , I got your post in my e mail but can't find it on the site , it seemed fine to me , I once typed 3w's consecutively and it took me ages to realise why my post would go up . Also , some one else seems to be using the name sacha , I might have to be English sacha in future . Sometimes when I think about all the hideous things that are going on in the world that I know about , I have to stop and remind myself that what I know about and see is a tiny drop in the ocean ,God sees everything . That's awesome to me . He sees all the misery and pain that we inflict upon ourselves and each other every day because of our sinfulness . It must be a truly horrible sight and I'm glad I can't see it all . I so hope all the atheists I love will still be alive when Christ returns , I believe that everyone who is alive when he returns will be given the opportunity to accept him , I've told them all this and they smile patronizingly at me as if I'm the family nut case . I don't mind . Please may I ask you and everyone to pray for my friend's son , his name is Michael and he has been accused of something that he didn't do , may he not go to jail for a time he did not commit . Stay strong and happy Gertrude .

I have a close friend, non-Christian, who says he is very uncomfortable with the idea of Jesus dying

for his sins, and he is even more uncomfortable with the idea of, in his words, "human sacrifice."

The gospel just makes no sense to him. How can I respond to this? I think he likens Christianity to

a cult, where we "drink the blood" and "eat the body" of the sacrificed victim, and he likens it to a satanic practice.

His reasoning can't accept that..... And . . . . thank you whoever reads this for praying for my friend.....

Brief note re your Rapture topic note: Matthew 24 is 2nd coming, not rapture. Context is to Jews before church began. Covers Great Tribulation v13,21,22; 144 witnesses 12 per tribe v14; antichrist (post rapture) v15; post-trib v29; 2nd coming v30-31; and harvest of believers v40-41. Yours in Christ, Kevan

Hi , I'm also called sacha , that's a bit weird , hello everyone please note there seem to be two sachs's , I'm English sacha .

I am one of the student at PNG University of Technology currently studying electrical engineering.

But these are some of my greatest weaknesses in life that always leads me astray and fall into temptation often.

1. womanizing ( I always unfaithful with my wife.)

2. telling lies

3. steal

Please I need immediate prayer support and looking forward to get more spiritual assistance from you.

Thank you

Reply on Isaiah 47:18 Gods word is the treasure for the heart to build on for the Kingdom of Heaven, it is eternal truth.

Alison,

Hebrews 10:26 is not referring to saved believers. The writer of Hebrews is speaking to unsaved Hebrew people. He says, for if we sin willfully, that is, we go back to serving the principle of sin, after that we have received the knowledge of the truth,

We know from Hebrews Chapter 6 that those who were enlightened, that are no longer coming for fellowship, just because they were enlightened doesn't mean they're saved.

The Lord can enlighten someone as to the knowledge of the truth, they know the truth, they have seen the truth, they understand the truth, but have never surrendered their life to Christ.

That's what was taking place here. They were following along and being enlightened, but wouldn't surrender their lives to Christ because they would be severely persecuted for turning away from Judaism and receiving Christ as their Messiah. For them, it was much easier to go back to Judaism.

It says, "If we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins,

The writer is speaking to Jewish/Hebrew people who were being enlightened to the truth, but instead of turning away from Judaism and surrendering their life to Christ, they were considering going back into Judaism.



What this verse is saying is that if they go back into old Judaism, they're not going to find any sacrifice there that's going to take care of their sin problem if you leave Christ.

The consequences of a true believer who continues in sin, if they are truly saved, the Lord will deal with them. He disciplines those who truly belong to Him. And sometimes His discipline can be pretty harsh!

Another thing I believe, and I think scripture backs it up, is that someone who is truly born of the Spirit of God, that person will no longer live a lifestyle of sin because the Spirit in them will convict them of their sin and keep them from habitually practicing sin.

i do not know how 2 or 3 people can read romans 11 chapter an get 2 or 3 oppenions except for humanisum

@Earl,

Thank You.

@Mishael,

Again, Thank You.

KHALIL,

You have perfectly described a person who has never been saved. The only thought I have concerning your last statement is that there is no such thing as Christians who want to be saved. But you are right on concerning those who continue to live a lifestyle of sin. Thank you for sharing that!

Where do i find the verse all thingbwork for the good tothose in Christ Jesus?

Hi Dgjot.

Something went terribly wrong with the links i attempted to post.

Read Romans 7:23 on through Romans 8:13. with verses 11 thru 13 being the end result.

" But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN YOUR MORTAL BODIES BY HIS SPIRIT THAT DWELLETH IN YOU.

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live."

We all have an inward battle but that life giving spirit conducts our walk. You may grieve the spirit but our great shepherd will never leave us.

Hebrews 10:14. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

2 Timothy 1:12. For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

God bless.

( Revelation 7:14-15) The first resurrection:

14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

( Revelation 21:3-7) The second resurrection:

1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of Godiswith men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them,and betheir God.

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

"One of Us" comes full circle:

Genesis1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness...

Genesis 3:22And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us...

To whom is psalm speaking to?

Can beastiality ever be forgiven and if you take a long time to really repent

God loves us so much that he died for me let me live for him

Pray for my father he is sick

If some one continue committing adulatory sin until his last breath on earth, then it means he refused to be saved, thus God will respect his decision and will not include him in the list of those who admitted to be saved. Keep in mind confessing your faith in Jesus and his salvation just by your lips without proving so by your deeds and stick to to the teachings of Jesus will not save you. Jesus in Luke 13:5, says: " I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish ". And in Jacob 2:26, says: " For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead ". Saying by your lips that you believe in Jesus whilst living sinful life it is nonsenses.

I don't understand why Christians who want to be saved and benefit from the grace of salvation keep living sinful life. Why not to get married instead of committing adulatory?.

Hi Dgjot.

As promised I would like to elaborate a little further on your great questions.

I think we covered your 1st question, "Does that verse apply to the unsaved exclusively, or does it apply to the "saved" (but somewhat backslidden)?

You said you have wished terrible things on wicked people and Quoted I felt this heaviness weighing on me. It would not go away. I was terrified. My waking thoughts were of damnable things. I asked God every day, "What is this? Why do I feel this doom and gloom?" You seem to have a heavy heart behind those thoughts. This sounds like everyday struggle in a Christians life providing he or she is a believer regardless of the severity of the sin. Concerning the struggle it sounds like Paul in Romans 7:23-25. Link

You stated "Why would Jesus keep sticking up for a habitual sinner like me?" I don't know your spiritual condition but from what you have shared I supposed the habitual sin is the damnable thoughts you mentioned earlier.

Dgjot a habitual sinner in my opinion was never a saved person. But I'm not sure you fall in that category.

You mentioned a friend of yours told you to read Romans 8:1. And you read that verse many times. to put it into context for your situation you may have to take it from Romans 7:23-25. thru Romans 8:11.

"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, ( who walk NOT after the flesh,) but after the Spirit." This is done by the spirit.

By the death and resurrection of Christ we wasn't just justified we were sanctified and being sanctified and some day be Glorified.

Revelation 21:8 has nothing to do with a believer loosing his salvation.

God bless.

My prayer request is that GOD perfect will& purpose be accomplished in my life; & for a supernatural breakthrough; and for God's glory to be revealed in me according to Roman's 8:18
