How many sins to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop?

No Sir; If they repented and were born again they are on the right track.

If they continued on with the way they were as hypocrits, then they still are hypocrits. If you want to believe Christians commit adultery that is up to you, I do not believe it.

Would you consider a so called Christian who commits adultery a "hypocrit"?

 

Bingo! It is not a sin that sends us to eternal destruction, it is the righteousness of Christ that gives us immortality and eternal life.

I am beginning to question the entire doctrine of unending suffering as eternal punishment. It seems the Bible teaches death and destruction for those who reject Christ. How can a lost man suffer endlessly forever if he is not immortal? Immortality is a gift from God through Christ alone.


Rom 2:7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

1Co 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1Co 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

2Ti 1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

Only God has immortality:

1Ti 6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

So when does the lost man put on his immortality?

What does “perish” mean?

Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Does “perish” mean to exist forever? Isn’t that everlasting life?

What does “destroy” mean?

Mat 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Does destroy mean never being destroyed?

Why was Adam never warned of this unending torture? He was simply told he would die and return to dust.

 

1. You're contradicting yourself. If I as a baptist pastor commit adultery and then repented, that doesn't mean I never committed it.

2. As a Christian I committed it and repented. I committed it. Repentance is not going to change the fact that I committed it.

3. But you say that Christians don't commit adultery.

 

Are you leaning toward annihilationism?

 

Do you think anybody at the Church at Corinth was a Christian?

 

Yes, I think one can come to that conclusion from scripture. Still studying the subject.

 

1. Well, if you are talking about unbelievers then the bible is clear.

2. Why are the ME guys trying to reinvent the wheel? It's not broken.

 

right..................

 

1. Where's your Scripture?

2. The famed John Stott went that way for a season and now he considers himself an agnostic about eternal fire.

3. Was Jesus that ambiguous?

 

They were unsaved among them alright as there are among us today.

1Cr 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

 

So the pastor who has preached faithfully for 20yrs but then commits adultery was not a Christian all along? Is that what you want us to believe?

 

Why did he have to commit adultery. I have known several.

Can't Christians keep from committing adultery?

 

Can't they keep from losing their temper or overeating or anything else?

 

I provided several.

 

That is no answer, those don't compare to adultery. Why don't you just answer the question?

Can't a Christian keep from committing adultery? What about blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, can a Christian keep from committing that one?

 

You will have to work that doctrine out.

 

Oh, so some sins a Christian can committ others they can't.

Sure, just as they can keep from overeating and losing their temper. Your wife is a lucky lady to have a sinless man as yourself as a husband.

Is this a trick question? Do you mean, could a person commit this sin and yet be a Christian?

 

Ok, This is what I have been doing.

 

Tim I don't think you know any of us well enough to tell us what is most important to us and what is not. Maybe I'm not reading you correctly in this statement.

Are you saying that doctrine is more important to us than what Scripture says?
