Galatians6:7-10 (English Standard Version):
"Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us...
Why sure it is.
And by your reckoning, I am forced to address questions from you whether I want to or not. Otherwise I am the subject of conversations about it for months.
However, I ask questions of members of your group and get no response at all. Isn't that a double standard that you are...
Yes, please!
Is this not called “religiousForums”?
But when you ask someone how or why they believe a certain way in a religious context, they get offended?! Asking them to support their religious view, on a religious discussion site no less, is apparently inappropriate.
I’m gonna try to...
There may be a lot of “ professing Christians” who think they can take the death of God’s beloved Son on the cross lightly by living immoral, indecent lives, being greedy, cheating or harming others, yet assuming they are guaranteed salvation. But do you really think they will get away with...
KW,
I am citing clear verses, by "clear" I mean unequivocal/easily parsed and interpreted: "He who hears my Word and trusts the Father who sent me HAS ETERNAL LIFE (salvation by trust) and DOES NOT COME INTO JUDGMENT (assurance/security of eternal life via trust).
Every person who argues some...

John 15
5I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing. 6If anyone does not remain in Me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers. Such branches are...
There are over 150 NT statements that trusting Jesus is all that is required for salvation.
We can discuss the scriptures above--for example--if you forgive a person's sin (John 20, but I do not) who "wins"?
How do you understand John 1:12, though, first?
Thanks.
1 John9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
John 20
21Again Jesus said to them, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, so also I am sending you.” 22When He had said this, He breathed on them and said...
I don’t believe in karma, but do believe in God’s Word and Judgement.
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
Galatians6:7
I don't know about the other gods, but in our faith God gave man free will as well as the earth.
So man, as free-will spiritual agents, can commit murder (even though God warned Cain not to), man can hoard even though He said share, create human-trafficking even though He said that communion...
Do you think having free will means not facing repercussions from our choices?
We all ‘reap what we sow.’ Galatians6:7
And we all face the results, good or bad, of other people’s choices. Right? Politics is an example.
But we still are free to make choices. For example, to be law-abiding or a...
I think I understand. So it's sort of like eating. A person who eats healthy is doing the body good. Whereas the unhealthy eater, is doing the body bad. Sooner or later, what that one is accumulating, will become manifest.
Similar to what the Bible says... (Galatians6:7) . . .whatever a person...

The issue of Sovereignty, raised in Eden w/ A&E’s rebellion against Jehovah God (Genesis 3), has to be settled first. (It takes time, allowing mankind to rule themselves.) It’s the same reason why Jehovah has allowed suffering for so long. Once the issue is resolved, He’ll get rid of them...
No one is mocking God. Well you might be. Poor understandings are being mocked. Now you know how Matthew screwed up. How do you explain Luke's ten year pregnancy of Mary?

Some people don't see much in anything.
I totally understand that.
I understand that too.
Wrong quote? You didn't have in mind what you quoted?
That's odd.
That's a threat?
Like I said, everything is a threat to you, when one quotes the Bible. That's not my fault.
If it's a threat, perhaps...
It doesn't take much to amaze you, does it.
Your perspective isn't even the same as other Christians I speak to. Or the perspective I had when I was a Christian.
That doesn’t sound like loving advice to me, but that’s not the quote we’re talking about.
The threat was:
