    Can You Determine the Will of God for Specific Events in Your Life?

    It starts by obeying what you know to do. Don't sin. Don't go places you know you should not go to. Don't be with people the word says don't be with. Love as much as possible when they let you. Do what he says! This will serve to condition your spirit to hear what God says. If you are not...

    Should Christians Condemn People?

    Fruitless converstation. Leaving. 2 Timothy 2:23-24 KJV 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, Peace! :wave:

    Should Christians Condemn People?

    Revelation 21:8 ISV 8 But people who are cowardly, unfaithful, detestable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars will find themselves in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death."

    Should Christians Condemn People?

    But there is in fact condemnation! That is why they are going to hell! Christians did not do it. They are just pointing out the danger.

    Should Christians Condemn People?

    ? But the Bible DOES say all murders are going to hell! I did not make that up. Revelation 21:8 ISV 8 But people who are cowardly, unfaithful, detestable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars will find themselves in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is...

    Should Christians Condemn People?

    I think the OP just needs to be written to better express the thought. Perhaps "Should Christians criticise the lost without grace." Of course there should be as much grace as possible without losing sight of the danger. You can "love" people into hell if you diminish the severity of the danger...

    Should Christians Condemn People?

    Your argument was, "Should Christians condemn people to Hell?" It is not really an argument. It is a false accusation based on a false premise. It is like saying, "Should Christians swim on the surface of the sun?" Well, no. Even if they could, they should not, and at this point, they cannot...

    Should Christians Condemn People?

    "So your logical conclusion is that murderers can't be saved. Really? God refuses to forgive murderers? What is the only unforgivable sin? If someone commits murder, is it possible to repent of that sin? But it'd be in vain because that person already sealed their fate, right?" I am not sure...

    Should Christians Condemn People?

    I am not sure you are actually reading or understanding what I said. "So you condemn me to Hell ..." Let me reiterate. I do not have the power or authority to condemn anyone to hell even if I wanted to, and I do not. If I say "it is raining out" I am not causing it to rain. It is just an...

    Should Christians Condemn People?

    I am not sure what this has to do with what I wrote? Frankly it sounds a little judgmental and full of condemnation. :) In order to be saved, one has to be aware of their dilemma. We cannot help how people receive the message. Jesus said some would be offended. And that is true. After all...

    Should Christians Condemn People?

    Christians do not have the power or authority to condemn anyone to hell. I am not sure where you got this notion. Christians do have the ability to make obvious observations and use deductive reasoning to come to a rational conclusion. If you are murdering people and do not repent and believe...

    How old is the earth?

    I have also asked this question. But God is a master illusionist, and if He wanted to trick us, He certainly could. And if He succeeds (which He always does) and we are fooled, that would only glorify Him, and we would have to praise Him for the success. But the question remains, why would He do...

    How Does Dismantling LBJ's Great Society Make America Great Again? (Ans. It doesn't.)

    I think people are genuinely concerned that young people (and their parents) are being hoodwinked into buying very expensive/useless degrees that lead to no job. Then, there is a move to ask taxpayers to pay off these unemployed college graduates' loans. The gullibility comes when students are...

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    I think one of the biggest problems along these lines is the notion that Jesus and the gospel saved us from Hell and that was it. We need to recognize that the Gospel and the work of God in the resurrection of Jesus was to enable us to overcome sin due to the new birth. We are now able to do...

    How Does Dismantling LBJ's Great Society Make America Great Again? (Ans. It doesn't.)

    Please note that I never used the word "lazy," which you have in quotes, implying you are quoting me as saying that. I did say that many people enter a phase of hopelessness. I think the progress that can be seen may have involved factors other than the welfare state. Thank you for your response.

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    I understand what you are saying A112. But those people were never born again. They merely assented to His teaching as long as it benefited them. The first time something came up that they did not like, they hit the road. As John said: "They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if...

    How Does Dismantling LBJ's Great Society Make America Great Again? (Ans. It doesn't.)

    At some point, these programs, designed to assist people and get them back on their feet, did nothing but create ruts where people would rest and make a life of it. They were not designed to become a lifestyle. I heard a black man just the other day state that there is a growing consensus among...

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    And no man leaves unless he was never part of us to start with. 1 John 2:19 KJV 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. 2...

    We used to have a prophetic section, which was pretty popular. I think people abused it with personal prophecies and such. Too bad. I thought it could be useful with certain rules set in place. I would like to see it start back up with rules in place. I have a certain gift in this area, and I...
