Do you believe a Christian doesn't have the freewill to sin? If so that contradicts scripture. Have you considered that the reason 1 John 3:6 says whoever abideth doesn't sin is because a Christian is abiding, being obedient and deliberately choosing to avoid sin rather than assuming that a Christian can't sin, or assuming it's ok to sin because it's 'not really sin'? The latter is a lie from satan of course and satan deceives some Christians into believing sinning is ok, which it clearly is not. Jesus clearly said to avoid sin and be obedient. If Christians had no freewill and were robots then why would Jesus say so many times to be obedient? John 14:15 Those who justify sin don't love Jesus, do you agree?
This seems to be a common argument lately and I see no evidence it is from the Bible or God. Have you prayed to God for wisdom and clarification of this? Because to the vast majority of Christians the Bible in crystal clear English says Christians can and do sin. Even angels in heaven had the freewill to sin and that's what satan and his followers did. Isaiah 14:12, Ezekiel 28. If it was impossible for a Christian to sin today then why would Jesus spend so much time telling his followers specifically NOT to sin, but to obey? Are Christians robbed of freewill? No, they still can choose sin and often do. Some use grace as an excuse to enjoy sinning. John 14:15, John 3:36, 1 Cor 11:27-32.
Jesus commanded us to love our enemies not hate them, Matthew 5:44. In John 14:15 Jesus said if you love him then obey his commands. Those who do not, don't love and Jesus aren't following Jesus and aren't real Christians is the implication. Loving our enemies and praying for them in this context I believe refers to human beings and not the satan or demons. Human beings are all made in God's image and can still can be saved, even those who currently claim to follow satan. I don't see any scripture saying we should put ourselves in physical danger or risk of temptation to minister to them, but love them and pray for them, yes, that's exactly what Jesus said to do.
For Sarah Lott: I believe the verse for the day for Sunday 2-2-2020 was John 14:27 " Peace I leave with you, my peace
I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." I just
read this verse at my fathers funeral on Thursday 1-30-2020. I also read this verse to my church after my daughter Tracey passed away unexpectedly in a car accident on January 16, 2002. The LORDS words are faithful and true. May those who need peace, find it through the LORDS sacrifice given for mankind....believe, repent and obey. The King of the Universe is worth living for him. Who doesn't want eternal life??
Hello, blasphemy against the holy spirit is unforgivable: Link - Also, one must question if someone who commits suicide is truly a Christian following Christ who loves Jesus? Because suicide would be like slapping Jesus in the face: JOHN 14:15
Actually the Bible does say that. When Jesus warned his disciples not to sin, his disciples were Christians, which are people who follow Christ, and they did that even literally. John 14:15 - if you love Jesus keep his commandments avoid sin . Blasphemy is a sin that is unforgivable. Following Jesus requires action and obedience. Grace is not a license to justify sin.
Rev. 9:20-21 we are to distant ourselves from today's prosperity gospel and repent and return to The LORD our heavenly Father. Let our focus be on the Gospel of the Kingdom Jesus Christ preached and taught us. These men are the so called idols of gold, and silver... The people of God are dying and are been ensnared by their sorceries... Jesus said in John 14:17, Even The Spirit of Truth whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. John 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of The Father, cometh to Me.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. -- Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. -- John 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
Jesus saith unto him: i am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the father, but by me. john 14:6, kjv . there is only one way to god, and heaven, and it is only through our lord, god and saviour, jesus christ. there is no other way: there is no other person. period! jesus said it! and that settles it! no beating around the bush. his holy scriptures stands forever. god the father said to god his only begotten son: forever o lord thy word is settled in heaven john 14:6 if it is settled in heaven, then why is it not settled on earth? why are all these perversions of gods: infallible, inspired, preserved, holy scriptures? mere men pretending to be god!
Yes you can. There is no limit to the sins you can be forgiven of if you genuinely repent, obey, and follow Jesus. However, it says blasphemy is not forgiven and if a Christian turns away from Christ. Hebrews 10:26. John 14:15. Remember Paul wrote more New Testament books than anyone else and perhaps made a bigger impact than anyone in spreading Christianity, but he used to murder Christians. He was forgiven.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 14:8, 9 Philip saith unto Him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto Him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen Me hath seen the Father and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father. There is only one God
You can have confidence in salvation, follow Jesus and be obedient at the same time. It's a false assumption to assume that just because the Bible is true about losing your salvation in Hebrews 10:26 that a Christ follow must live in fear? No, if you're following Christ in obedience you have freedom. Matthew 10:28, John 14:15, Matthew 12:31-32, Matthew 7:21. I believe what the Bible says. Hitler would go to heaven according to your once saved always saved belief.
Amen we must understand the truth and realize that Jesus the mighty God ,Jehovah ,heavenly father was manifested in the flesh according to 1 Timothy 3:16 a lot of Christian's are confused about this as Phillip was in John 14:8-9 Jesus said he that hath seen me hath seen the Father.God the one and only manifested in the flesh is Jesus Christ the head of All principality and power. Colossians 2:9-10
Hi Richard, do you have a Bible verse that backs up the idea that a Christian is incapable of blasphemy or incapable of sin? Do you not believe Christians have freewill to sin like non-Christians? Even angels in heaven still had freewill to rebel from God and be cast out of heaven, so why not believe a Christian on earth has the same freewill? If Christians can't commit blasphemy then why were Christians told in the Bible not to? If Christians can't disobey then why are they told to keep commandments? John 14:15
I'm not sure if that is your belief or just echoing the previous commenter, but we're not robots. We absolutely have freewill to choose to follow Jesus or not and our actions determine where we go after this life. So, if someone is looking for an excuse to party and run with the world and uses this verse as support that sounds like an example of a falsehood the devil wants people to believe. JOHN 14:15.
See verses: Rom 3:23, Rom 6:23, Heb 9:27 Not by any good works of your own: Eph 2:8-9, Rom 4:5, Rom 10:3-4 Jesus Christ did it all! John 14:6, Acts 14:12 His precious blood was shed for you! Col.1:14, Rev 1:5, Acts:20:28,1 Pet.1:18-9.You must believe it,ask Jesus to save you and receive it. Rom10:9-13 He will do it! Then find a KJV only church and speak with the pastor about your next steps.
Hebrews 10:26-29 says otherwise along with other scriptures like Matthew 12:31 that clearly say this sin is unforgivable. That doesn't mean you can do that sin and be forgiven. To believe that would mean to ignore Jesus's words. I think many believe they don't have to obey and can follow the world once they believe they're saved as an excuse to sin, despite John 14:15. Love God keep His commands
Looks like you got it all backwards. God wants to love man, however man don't want to come to his love and that is Jesus and his words in you. John 14:23. God the Father of Jesus takes pleasure in the death of his Saints Psalm 116:15. We see that in Acts 7 with Stephen. I am an overcome like Jesus said in Revelations to be overcomes. The devil can't hurt me so long as I have the armour the word
The Bible already covered this. The answer is no, you can't just do whatever evil you want assuming you're covered by grace and expect to get into heaven. Matthew 7:21, Romans 6:1, John 14:15. Even satan believes, so believing isn't enough. A Christian must follow Jesus which is an active role, not passive. Revelation 3:16. Satan has deceived people into believing they can sin all they want and don't have to be obedient or follow Jesus. The Bible refutes that.
The real SABBATH is the day mentioned in the Bible, the seventh -day of the week, Saturday. The Sabbath is the fourth commandment , Ex. 20:8-11. In the NT Jesus taught that the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath. Mark 2:27,28. We follow Christ teaching, as it was His custom He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath. Luke 4:16. John 14:15, Ezekiel 20:12,16,20, Rev. 22:14
The commandments is the law that God gave to Moses when went to the mountain to receive them. Ex. 24:12, Deut. 4:12,13Ex. 31:17,18. The commandments are the ten precepts we are to obey as followers of Christ. "if you love me keep my commandments" John 14:14. 1John 2:3 .
You are correct. In our prayers and confessions we go through Christ. John 14:13 and 14. Verse 14 says" if you shall ask any thing in my name I will do it. Christ is the one who takes our prayers to the Father. John 15:16 and John 16:23,24.I trust these few texts will help you.
There is definitely no Grandson in the God Head! The God Head consists of: 1. God the Father: 2. God the Son: 3. God the Holy Spirit: God has an Only Begotten Son! Our Lord God, and Saviour, Jesus Christ. God the Holy Spirit Holy Ghost is the Third Member of The God Head!
Thomas, you replied to my comment which already answered your question. Did you not look up the first verse? Other examples are easily found through search, like John 14:6, John 3:16, etc. A Christian is a follower of Christ. If you do not follow Christ, you're not a Christian. If you're not a Christian you won't enter heaven, no matter how 'good' you claim to be. Matthew 7:21-23 is proof.
I am there. 13 years married, and suddenly nothing. I have wanted to just walk away because it's the easy thing to do and start over. But we have a child. I prayed about it, and I was lead to find peace. I made a vow, not only to my wife, but to God. For better or worse. Read in order Matthew 17:20, Mark 4:36-39, John 14:12. Don't give up, have faith, and demand peace. Focus on God in you
I AGREE WITH MATTHEW HENRY WITH WHAT HE SAID. Christ is the Son of GOD. When He left the Holy Ghost came on the day of Pentecost and brought back to remembrance everything that He had preached. Christ had ascended into heaven to sit at the right hand of the FATHER, to make intercession for whosoever would believe upon His name and do His will, as the will of the FATHER. Thank You, Brother Gary
Riikka, You cannot get to heaven by repenting, that definitely will not save you, you must be born again, believing on the Lord Jesus Christ , Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6, John 3:16 the gospel. You must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ alone. Please read 1 Corinthians 15:3. Nothing else will get you to heaven.
I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." I just
read this verse at my fathers funeral on Thursday 1-30-2020. I also read this verse to my church after my daughter Tracey passed away unexpectedly in a car accident on January 16, 2002.
