3) Usually, we point out
sin in the lives of others because the sin we see in them is a reflection of a similar sin in our own life which we ignore.
4) Even if the sin we see in them isn't in our own life, there are certainly numerous other sins which might be in our own life which need to be taken care of before we have the right to point out
sin in the lives of others.

For if God did not spare angels when they
sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains
of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment; if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald
of righteousness, with seven
others, when he brought a flood upon the world
of the ungodly; if by turning the cities
of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to extinction, making them an example
of what is going to happen to the ungodly; and if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the sensual conduct
of the wicked (for as that righteous man
lived among them day after day, he was tormenting his righteous soul over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard); then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day
of judgment, and especially those who indulge
in the lust
of defiling passion and despise authority.
But until we come to the end
of ourselves then we are going to do and say what we want, even as it was with me: It's one thing to be a heathen, even as I was, but a whole
other ball game to set our hearts on God and His truth; yet, that can only come when we are sick and tired
of being sick and tired
of our own
lives and we just give up, we know then who has given up by the one they advocate for, even has given place to: Paul said; with my heart I want to do what is right, but my flesh does what I hate: This is when God's grace is sufficient, because our hearts are right with God, but our flesh is not: There is a war going on within these temples, therefore; even as our flesh wins out to do what we hate, our hearts are set on God and His ways which has been established
in the Word
of Truth, which then causes us to stand and speak forth what we believe, even as this causes a rending to happen within us, for Christ to be formed
in us this needs to be, as we come up
in His glories even for a better resurrection for them who believe: The heart wars against our flesh, even as Christ wars against the man
of sin within: For out
of the abundance
of our hearts our mouth doth speak, therefore; if we speak not the Wholesome Words
of our Lord, Then our hearts are still wicked: But to advocate for wickedness instead
of Christ, one has become a teacher
of lawlessness, he then advocates for the man
of sin: Many who have come out
of religion has done this, as they went from one mountain top «from the extreme right»
of self exaltation (Religion) to the
other mountain top «to the extreme left»
of the (Heathen) and missed the valley
in - between that is takes to humble us: One extreme to the
other, and missed Jesus: Jesus is taking ones through the valley's to strip us down
of all who we are before exalting us to be just as He, even as the Christ
in us overcomes that man
of sin (Adam) through theses valleys
of contrast that cause a rending to happen within; and when we are rent
in two, we stand on His word
of truth, so we too can become one with Him, even as Jesus is with our Father: This is how Christ is formed
in us: Thank - you Father;
in Jesus Name Alexandria

of what that was all about as did
others say Peter for example 2 Peter 2:4 - 6: For if God spared not the angels that
sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains

of righteousness, bringing
in the flood on the world
of the ungodly; 6And turning the cities
of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample to those that after should
live ungodly;

others down.
Jeremy it just hit me like a bolt
of lightning i am so excited about this thought that salvation has nothing to do with eternal
life but is speaking
of losing the ability to be an overcomer
in Christ.Having been there as a carnal christian i always believed
in Jesus but i felt i did nt have the power to
live a christian
life so i felt like a hippocrite i was still subject to
sin and sinful desires.So
in that sense i had never received salvation because i had never been an overcomer
in the first place.So i can see how a christian could lose there salvation having once walked by faith but that does nt effect there eternal
life in Christ.Just so
others know i am now walking by faith and am an overcomer i know what it is like to experience the power
of the holy spirit and to not be overcome by my old nature that is what Jesus wants us all to experience rather than being a victim
of the enemy.Whether we are an overcomer or not does nt effect our eternal
life.brentnz

of God, for the manifestation

At that time I said rather just what I had always tried to say, namely, that beside God we can have no

of our
sins and the ordering
of our
lives.
What seems to annoy so many, though, is that we inform our conscience with our faith so the teachings

It seems the most likely scenario is that he married his sister or less likely his niece.The reasoning is that Adam and Eve
lived alot longer and continued to have sons and daughters GEN5: 4 aCTS 17:26 Paul tells us that the God who made the world hath made
of one blood all nations
of man to dwell on all the face
of the earth.Cain did nt marry to another tribe or nation as every man and women was a relative and
of the same bloodline
of Adam and Eve.The importance
of this is that
sin entered through one man Adam and is past through the bloodline so redemption is only possible through the same bloodline.So for the formula to work the human genome had to stay the same no
other tribes or nations just the descendents
of Adam and Eve.It also solves another riddle
in that satan at various times prior to the flood and after the flood tried to contaminate the bloodline by his angels having sexual relations with the women this created a type
of alien
in essence and would have not been able to have been redeemed by the blood
of Jesus as it wasnt fully human.This is where the giants came from and why God wanted to destroy them as they had the potential to destroy the human race as they couldnt be redeemed by the blood
of Jesus.Interesting?
What does it matter when we die what is important is what we do with our
life now.The struggles people find themselves is because
of living a sinful lifestyle you cant play with fire and not get burnt there are consequences.Jesus wants to bring forgiveness and healing and remove the guilt and shame that you are feeling.Ive have been there i was just as guilty i do nt believe theres a big screen that replays our
life if it is it, it will be about what we have done for God as our
sins are covered under the blood
of Jesus.The judgement for christians is that we must give an account
of what we did for Jesus while we were here did we make the most
of opportunities given to tell
others to reach out
others with his love.Mat 25:14 - 30 the Parable
of the talents talks about judgement and for me it is all about what we do for Jesus the ones who are faithfull
in the small things are set over much.The one who did nt use his talent that God gave him was punished for his lack
of faith.So for those who are struggling with
sin and
life Jesus loves you and has a plan for your
life just trust him to help you and he will.To be fair its wont be easy you will have to make some hard choices but he promises to help you through its all about choosing him over choosing what we think best because he knows whats best for us.Its important the choice you make as it will impact your
life for eternity.brentnz
Amando i do nt get the battle you either trust God to save you and
live your
life for him or wallow
in self pity and despair.Do you want to be saved or just talk about it.Trust God and he will save you but give up your old lifestyle tell God you blew it and that it is hard for you to
live a christian
life you need his help.The holy spirit is the one who is our helper insteaqd
of choosing
sin we choose to walk
in the spirit.You need to surrender your
life to him because you are making a mess
of your
life living your way be sincere.If you are not serious about this discision walk away and
live your
life for yourself theres is no
other options.You need to decide but choose to follow the Lord with all your heart that is the right decison you cant have both.

Geraldine here we see satans tactics to gain control over our
lives and he uses pride as a means to control us if our hearts arent submitted to God we get lured into

For your sake, please stop worrying about the
sin of others and start trying to eliminate the
sin in your own
life.
But on the
other hand, when
in talking about
sin one talks only
of such
sins, it is so easily forgotten that
in a way it may be all right, humanly speaking, with respect to all such things up to a certain point, and yet the whole
life may be
sin, the well - known kind
of sin: glittering vices, willfulness, which either spiritlessly or impudently continues to be or wills to be unaware
in what an infinitely deeper sense a human self is morally under obligation to God with respect to every most secret wish and thought, with respect to quickness
in comprehending and readiness to follow every hint
of God as to what His will is for this self.
Unlike the Christian god that wouldn't ever change his mind or doctrine... except for cursing the world for eating an apple... except for telling Abraham to sacrifice his son, but then stopping him... and except for killing nearly all
life on Earth and then because
of the guilt says I'll never to do that ever again -
in exactly that way... and except for deciding that 2 of himself (Father and Spirit) weren't enough any more, and creating / fathering / spiriting as Son... and except for forgiving all sin, when «In the beginning» he had cursed the universe for the eating of an apple, by having his creation torture and kill his only begotten Son... and except for having to repeat himself about the unchanging eternal rules, to Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Saul / Paul, Mohammed, Joseph Smith, Bahá «u «lláh, David Koresh, and a whole host of others... and except for... and except for.

But then on the
other hand how on earth can one expect to find an essential consciousness
of sin (and after all that is what Christianity wants)
in a
life which is so retarded by triviality, by a chattering imitation
of «the
others,» that one hardly can call it
sin, that it is too spiritless to be so called, and fit only, as the Scripture says, to be «spewed out»?
On the
other hand and
in a different aspect it is quite certain that just by being brought up strictly
in Christianity a man has
in a certain sense been plunged into
sin, because the whole Christian view was too serious for him, especially
in an earlier period
of his
life; but then
in another sense this is again
of some help to him, this deeper apprehension
of what
sin is.
As far as attending the marriage ceremony
of gay people i have two points
of view the first is that that is there choice to
live how they want to but to me that is clearly not Gods best and
sin is
sin and needs to be repented
of but that is my standard not theres.As far as divorced people remarrying why shouldnt they if they have repented
of there past God forgives them not condemns them.As he said to the women caught
in adultery do they condemn you and she answers no and he says and neither do i.Go and
sin no more.This was not just for the women causght
in adultery this lesson was for every one
of us he was addressing our
sin publically for all have
sinned and fall short
of the Glory
of God that being his son Jesus Christ he is telling us that we must make the same decision to go and
sin no more to repent
in our hearts and the only way to do that is to give our hearts and
lives totally to Jesus Christ
other wise we are no better than the hypocrites
in JESUS day.brentnz

Rick i struggled for over 20 years as a christian
in the end i said whats the point
of struggling i feel powerless and useless so i gave
in to
sin that did nt work either but i was so sick
of struggling and seeing the same results i became more miserable and even more powerless
in my struggle with
sin.I decided one day no more enough was enough i needed to get my
life back
in order.That was years ago and it was a process over 5 years that God dealt with all those things
in my
life that needed fixing most days i just said to him Lord i cant do this i just do nt have the strength and he said thats okay you cant do it anyway just trust me.So now now i l know what it means to be an overcomer
in Christ
sin does not have the victory over me anymore because Jesus is my strength
in my weakness.I know i cant
live a christian
life in my strength but i certainly can with Christ
in me he is my strength and
in him i am an overcomer.If this is speaking to
others just want to let you know that you to can be an overcomer you do nt have to struggle or battle with your walk or feel miserable because you give
in to
sin there is a better way.Just admit that you cant do it and ask for his help for the holy spirit is
in you and he is the one who helps us
in our weakness.regards brentnz

Is it possible and after reading about it i kept on thinking «i will sell to my soul for 20 carats get out shut up i will never ever sell my soul to you oh god please help me and this is continuing for a few days i am afraid that i have sold my sold to the devil have i please help and still i think god's way
of allowing
others to hate him us much worse even you know and can easily think think about much better punishments like rebirth after being punished for all the
sins in life and i am feeling put on the
sin of those who committed the unforgiviable
sin (the early 0th century priests) imagine them burning
in hell fire till now for 2000 years hopelessly screaming to god for help i can't belive the mercy
of god are they forgiven even though commiting this
sin keans going to hell for entinity thank you and congralutions i think the 7 year tribulation periodvis over
in 18th century the great commect shooting and
in 19th century the sun became dark for a day and moon was not visible on the earth but now satun has the domination over me those who don't belive
in jesus crist i used to belive
in him but now after knowing a lot
in science it is getting harharder to belive
in him even though i know that he exsists and i only belived
in him not that he died for me
in the cross and also not for eternal
life and i still
sin as much as i used to before but only a little reduced and i didn't accept satan as my master but what can i do because those who knowingly
sin a lot and don't belive
in jesus christ has to accept satan as their master because he only teaches us that even though he is evil he gives us complete freedom but thr followers
of jesus and god only have freedom because they can
sin only with
in a limit and no more but recive their reward after their
life in heaven but the followers
of satun have to go to hell butbi don't want to go to hell and be ruled by the cruel tryant but still why didn't god destroy satun long way before and i think it was also Adam and eve's fault also they could have blamed satan and could have also get their punishment reduced but they didn't and today we are seeing the result
I believe God still rides on the storm... that He speaks these maelstromic whispers to remind us that we
live in a fallen world, and
sin destroys the perfection He wants for us... that each disaster He does not prevent is an opportunity He provides for us to reflect His deep love and generosity toward each
other, to the comfort and recovery
of the hurting and surviving.
Jesus was always clearly superior to us
in that He was the only one who could
live a sinless
life and atone for the
sins of others and through Him we can be saved.

of rebaptism.
while breifly going thru this artical it was makeing my stomach turn, this is just what the devil wants is for doubt and confusion, christianity is growing stronger than ever, souls are being saved and
lives are changing every day, and do nt for one minute think any different, or try tp put christians down, why would we loose faith, god answers our prayers everyday, think what you want and do what you do, but do nt try to put things
in other people's opinion or minds, jesus died for our
sins, so that we can have better
lives and be forgiven for our
sins here on earth and move on to a beter place, becouse souls do nt die «read the bible, if you do nt understand it, find a church that can help you learn a better way
of life, I pray for everyone out there that does nt know jesus christ as ther savior to accept what he has to offer to you «love forgiveness and ever lasting
life «Christians» stay strong and [ass the word
of god on and share all your tedtimonies
in life» god bless everyone»»
