23 But foolish and unlearned questions AVOID, knowing that they do gender strifes.
24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
My Comment: We try patiently to show in scripture; commentaries by scholars; and our own testimonies: to answer questions that are brought to us.
We are answering the call in John 21:15-17.
Feed my Sheep. Feed my Lambs.
Ephesians 4:11
That's what we do, despite the accusations and opposition. Jesus did not say, go ye and persecute the Body of Christ.
Mishael
That people will not endure sound doctrine but will turn to teachers that basically tell them what they want to hear so they can indulge in their lists and have salvation too .
It's said in the gospels by Jesus that straight is the gate and narrow is the way , but wide and easy is the way to destruction and Many or the majority follow it . Because they don't want the hard path , deception is so sweet at first . That's what temptation was to eve ! But we know what happened , they lost their paradise .
The purpose is that if just one sinner repents ! Heaven rejoices .
If they all take the wide road , no rejoicing .
Here we see the Apostle Paul an example of true leadership , expressing his genuine care for those in Thessalonians churches .
Verse 9 he labored so that no one could accuse him of personal gain , made his own way , not even appearing to be taking advantage of them , which was not the case in reality . This is very good fruit .
Never give money to anyone for their service to God , it makes them look bad . And if it's their motive they are bad . It's not wrong to help people but be careful on how it's done . Pure motive in the work of the gospel is not at all concerned about money or gain. God supplies .
It can even be a temptation sometimes to except gain for doing Gods work , discernment is needed .
I recently ask for A single absolute solid verse on the Pretrib Rapture event , they went to some google website provided tons of commentary and some verses , yet not a single verse in context to the subject . These people don't know what they are reading or I understand the Bible . Miss applicant is false . Why do they do it ? Trying to get a following , maybe for personal gain . Never give money to anyone doing this . Is wrong to support such activities in any case . So many of these tv evangelist are just in it for the money , a motive for getting a following .
You are much better off reading the Bible in prayer to the Lord for understanding. You learn bit by bit so be patient , don't buy the lies from false teachers .
you all have stated is outright incorrect.
Very little of it is in the truth of God.
For example if you commit a sin you are a servant to sin.
There is no exceptions to it. NONE!
John 8:34 Jesus answered them, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
Do you believe the children of God commit sin and are the servants of sin?
If you do then not only are you a child of the devil but you are a deceived child of the devil.
And if you willfully commit a sin there is sacrifice for it.
There is no exceptions to it. NONE!
Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth,
there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins.
Do you believe the children of God commits sin willfully after that they have received the knowledge of the truth?
If you do then not only are you a child of the devil but you are a deceived child of the devil.
And if you sin you do not have the Holy Spirit.
You have the unholy spirit.
Hence why they call it the Holy Spirit for it is HOLY!
Sin is not HOLY!
Born Again Sinners
Disobedient Believers of God
The Christian world is full of them. What do you think is going to happen to them in the end?
If it were possible would any of you want to cease from committing any sin?
Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
SO WHY ARE YOU STILL CONTINUING IN YOUR SINS?
I can't give any specific Scriptures to help understand this as the Bible doesn't generally deal with departed souls having any interest or view of earthly matters. We do have a couple of other separate portions as seen in 1 Samuel chapter 28 (some see this as the real Samuel being called up, others see it as an impersonating spirit) & Luke 16:19-31, where the rich man in Hades has concern for his maybe equally sinful brothers. But how these two portions of Scripture help in knowing whether our departed loved ones have knowledge of Earth's affairs is uncertain. Maybe, they will look keenly as to how the Word/prophecies of the Lord are being accomplished on the Earth as declared by the Lord.
But to spend their time focused on worldly events & family/friends on Earth instead of worshipping of the Lord, delighting in His Presence & Glory & attending to Heaven's activities, may be like the earthling with his face buried in his phone oblivious to what's happening around him. Can't see that happening in Heaven. Just my musings.
God sees the anguish of our spirits over sin - that's why He sends His Spirit to be in you - and God doesn't demand our correct articulating of our needs or what words we use in prayer. God the Spirit & God the Father, are One - they are not independent of each other - what One feels so does the Other; what One knows so does the Other. His help may come just in an instant, or it may be through another person or another means, or it might even be what He puts in your heart to do. Look for it, persist in reading the Word, using the Spirit's Sword against the enemy of our souls, avoid the thoughts or actions, or places that might lead you to that area of weakness causing sin.
It is through our hatred of sin, our resisting the Devil, our avoiding of his traps, that we find the Power of God into victory. Some believe that to just rest back, do nothing about sin, & wait for God's Help is the way to victory. This never works - we have to be proactive in dealing with sin. Even if that one awful sin is finally dealt a death blow, we know the father of sins is not far away to bring on another. So dear sister, be watchful & know you're in a battle, but you are not alone in it - your Lord is engaged with you in all that afflicts you.
