    Do people who recieve punishment from God deserve it?

    Absolutely! When God punishes the wicked they absolutely 100% deserve it for sinning against a 100% holy and a 100% perfect God. Even one sin is enough to deserve punishment from God and we have committed hundreds of thousands if not millions of sins in our lifetimes! What the gospel is about...

    An idol problem.

    So as many of you know my last living grandparent passed away in Janurary. My grandfather has a crucifix of Jesus hanging on a cross that my mother wants to give me as a gift.

    Im not sure where to post this.

    I'm not really sure where to post this. Since it's a thread asking for biblical advice about my weight loss journey I decided to post it in Christian advice but since it has to do with weight loss and not Christianity maybe it belongs elsewhere? Can a mod please move it if it belongs somewhere...

    Why cant we just trust in Gods sovereignty and sit back?

    I know what scripture says. Scripture does say that God is sovereign over all including over lives even to the point that he planned out and wrote out our lives before we were even born. But scripture also says that sanctification requires action on the part of the believer and a true believer...

    What must we do to do the works God requires?

    I know when Jesus was asked this question his response was the work of God is to believe in the one that he has sent but just what is faith? I hate that Jesus didn't elaborate when he answered the pharisees question (probably on purpose) it leaves too much up for debate. So just what is faith...
