    I see that you have referenced me Alex, to which I will return some responses, after quoting you.

    "Thus ALL men will be born again of his spirit..I will pour out my Spirit on ALL FLESH...Joel..." Joel 2:28 (cf Acts 2:17). Not all men will be born again as you believe - the Spirit will be given only to those who repent & turn to the Lord. An evidence of this first outpouring was at Pentecost, to which Peter references Joel's prophecy. ALL FLESH represents not All Men, but people of ALL Nations who respond to the Lord.

    "there is only 1 thing that initiates Salvation which is the New Birth...Faith can only come by 1 thing hearing his word...And Faith is the evidence of a Birth of Christ in us." Alex, you've got this all mixed up. Faith is NOT the evidence of a Birth of Christ - Faith is a gift of God ( Ephesians 2:8,9) & with God's Grace, brings salvation, hence a new birth. The New Birth doesn't initiate salvation - the New Birth is a product of salvation. ( Romans 10:9,10; 2 Corinthians 5:17).

    "It wd make God a hypocrite if he applied the curse of that 1st Adam to all men no exceptions mind you...But Not apply the blood of that 2nd ADAM Christ Jesus the lamb of God to ALL MEN NO EXCEPTIONS." If that were true Alex, there really would be no need to preach the Gospel, as according to you, God is bound to forgive all mankind regardless of their sinful state & hatred of Him. I ask again Alex, as I did many months ago & getting no answer, would you share the Gospel with someone who asks you for the way of salvation? If so, why? And what would be the message?

    Lastly, "God is not a torment to them in Christ Jesus but only to the DEVILS AND HIS ANGELS." Please read Revelation 20:10-15. This Lake of Fire is not for purifying nor temporary, it's for everlasting torment for both Satan & his henchmen & those not written in the Book of Life. "Behold now is the day of salvation" - no other opportunity for anyone, hence the Gospel's urgency.

    Thanks brother. Your words, from the Word of God, ought to strike our hearts with a searing iron. It certainly does mine especially when I read some comments that are so far removed from the Truth, prompting others to believe a lie.

    Many forget that the Gospel of the Cross is two-fold: one of propitiation ( 1 John 2:2: to provide a means for atonement & forgiveness by God, as well as to avert God's Anger against the sinner); and one requiring a response ( Romans 10:13,14). If the Gospel fails in both conditions, then there can be no salvation - we are forever lost in our sins. Though I've sought an answer to this several times in the past, without a response, I can only understand that there are some who believe in the first part (of God's Forgiveness), but the second part is almost inconsequential. And why so? For God is All-Loving, All-Forgiving, & all men will eventually be saved (a Universalism teaching). Why then the need for repentance in this life? Why did the apostles hazard their lives, even laying them down for the Gospel, if those enemies of the Cross would be changed & accepted by God in the last day? Where does the Bible ever speak about a 'second-chance salvation'? Why should the believer ever be called upon to live holy separated lives unto God if even the unrepentant will be saved?

    And then some consider us as believers in a vengeful angry God. And yet we have the Scriptures: Matthew 7:13; John 3:36; Hebrews 10:31; Hebrews 12:25,29; & many more showing that here is a God Who is to be feared & none can stand guiltless in His Presence. Thank you again for bringing this to light brother - it may be that others will be able to differentiate between the true & false Gospels.
  • Jeremiah on John 14 - 4 years ago
    Years ago I cursed at God and said, "GD you God",while angry about a life circumstance.

    Mark 3 talks about blaspheming the Holy Ghost/Holy Spirit as being an unpardonable/unforgivable sin. I wanted to make sure I had not committed the unpardonable/unforgivable sin.

    I have told Jesus thank you for dying on the cross, I trust your blood payment for my sin as it is pleasing to God, please save me from my sin of curing God. Is what I have done considered calling on the name of the Lord Romans 10:13?

    I confessed my sin and 1 John 1:9 says he is faithful and just to forgive us our sin. Does this also include cursing God? I am sincerely sorry I cursed at God.

    Sometimes this sin causes me great anxiety as do sinful thoughts. I want to know my name is written in the book of life and that I am headed to heaven to see Jesus when I die.

    I know that I am saved by Christ's blood, his payment on the cross, not by works. Eph 2:8-9.

    Sometimes I have trouble believing that Jesus will save me, but I cried out to him. Satan probably is lying to me daily to create fear.

    Thank you for taking time to respond. I want to be saved and do better at pleasing God/obeying his commandments both new and old testament commandments.

    Actually in Matthew 5, Jesus reaffirms some commandments as being relevant to society and issues. Things that come up a lot like divorce. We should speak the truth in love of course, but not softsell on issues that tear the fabric of society.
  • Free - In Reply on Romans 10 - 4 years ago
    Do you hear what you're writing, dear "Brooke"? Do you really think we should go back with sacrifice? What Jesus Christ Did Once for All? After reading the answers you have received, I hope you have repented and been baptized.

    But i completely agree with you that we should read and in His time we will explain it. Thought about this just today, when one gets a case handed over that is of faith who is from Him. It branches out to the one who hears. Then they get quite uplifted. Dear remember and read both GT and NT in KJV and follow the references. Then I'm pretty sure you get the case explained, i wich u good luck. And please come here for more input. Everyone here on this web site has only good peace thoughts for everyone who visits it, me too.

    Please follow me in Luke 12:12 and read the whole chapter.
  • Doug - In Reply on Romans 10 - 4 years ago
    The Bible is divided into a old testament (will) and the new testament (will). The new testament is God's current will. When someone makes a new will the old one is replace by, or subject to the new . Hebrews 1:1 God spoke in times past by the prophets but in these last days spoken to us by his Son. The old law came through Levi but Jacob prophesied that the lawgiver would proceed out of Judah. David prophesies Christ would be after the order of Melchisedec. In Hebrews 7 it states that the "the priesthood being changed there is made of necessity a change in the law. The law can be for a shadow of the new, but not the very image ( Hebrews 10:1) 1 Timothy 1:8 The law is good if a man use it lawfully implies that the old testament can be used if it complies with the new testament. Romans 3:31 Do we make void the law through faith? God forbid, yea, we establish the law. 2 Cor. 3 has numerous verses that the old testament was to be "done away". The new testament is referenced as the "law of liberty" and the "law of Christ" which is the true lawgiver. Christ in Mat. 7 said in several places "ye have heard that it was said by them of old time" but "I said unto you" indicating that some old testament laws were not according to the "new will".
  • S Spencer - In Reply on Romans 10 - 4 years ago
    Hi Brook.

    You said grow spiritual by keeping the law? We can't.

    Galatians 3:2-3.

    Galatians 3:5-7.

    Galatians 3:8-9.

    Galatians 3:10-11.

    Galatians 3:12-14.

    Also read Galatians 4. and

    Galatians 5.

    Jesus didn't do away with the Law.

    Jesus took on the penalty of the law that brought death.

    Colossians 2:14-17.

    In fact it's called the ministry of Death.

    Here's a few passages from Paul. at one time he felt the same way you do and set out to kill anyone that followed Jesus.

    2 Corinthians 3:6-11.

    Romans 7:10-11. And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.

    For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.

    Romans 5:20. Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

    Philippians 3:2-10. Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.

    For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

    Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:

    Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;

    Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

    But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

    Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

    And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

    That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

    Galatians 5:11-12.

    God bless.
  • Brooke on Romans 10 - 4 years ago
    In Romans 10:4 to me it never means to say that when Jesus died the laws died with him. I believe we should all be abiding by the laws of Moses and Abraham. Also we need to honor the ten commandments and really study what God is telling us to do and how to live a happy spiritual life. Such as so many people have strayed away from honoring God on the true Sabbath day that the vatican doctrine has changed from saturday to sunday, and how to push pagan holidays upon people. We all need to start reading and finding out the truth!
  • Jim - In Reply - 4 years ago
    God Bless you.

    "how often in scripture does God refer to Israel as saints?"

    I don't have your answer because it is a big answer.

    Here is how you can study words used in scripture and the variety of words translated into the English word 'saint':

    Get ahold of a Young's Analytical Concordance and each origin word translated into Saint from Genesis to Revelation is listed.

    A great word study is 'Receive' or 'Recieved' in the book of Acts because two very important and different words were used and both have a unique significance so sometimes the answer is bigger than the question here.

    You will see different Hebrew and Greek words listed for each occurence.

    Young's Concordance offers an easy way to see exactly what you are asking.

    hopes this helps.

    Saints today have holy spirit so if you did Romans 10:9 you are Sanctified and made holy with the spirit of God that dwells in you. Colossians 1:27.

    Salvation is to become Whole.

    Look at Romans 10:9

    That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

    thou shalt be saved=

    Strong's g4982

    - Lexical:

    - Transliteration: sz

    - Part of Speech: Verb

    - Phonetic Spelling: sode'-zo

    - Definition: to save, heal, preserve, rescue.

    - Origin: From a primary sos (contraction for obsolete saos, "safe"); to save, i.e. Deliver or protect (literally or figuratively).

    - Usage: heal, preserve, save (self), do well, be (make) whole.

    - Translated as (count): to save (18), will be saved (10), to be saved (9), save (7), being saved (4), has healed (4), He saved (4), will save (4), you will save (3), has cured (2), having saved (2), I might save (2), I will be healed (2), may be saved (2), saved (2), she will be saved (2), there would have been saved (2), you will be saved (2), Be saved (1), has been healed (1), has saved (1), he will be saved (1), he will get well (1), he will save (1), I may be saved (1), is saved (1), let Him save (1), might be saved (1), save us (1), saving (1), shall save (1), shall we be saved (1), she might be cured (1), they may be saved (1), they might be saved (1), they should be saved (1), to be healed (1), was cured (1), was healed (1), we were saved (1), we will be saved (1), were being healed (1), were being saved (1), will bring safely (1), you are being saved (1).

    The 'Saved' word means to become whole.

    In context it is the Hope of this Salvation taught Adam who's holy spirit connection with God was broken due to his disobedience and it was not repairable. Hence a promised redeemer! To be made whole is to add holy spirit to your natural born composition and all you have to do is confess and then believe which is the way you synchronize your mind with a promise of God by confessing and believing the promise.

    Now salvation is In you as eternal life seed, not just natural seed/genetics.

    Complete!
  • Cindy R Wiggins Tapia - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Dear Eileen, first and foremost, become born again Romans 10:9-13. Then--or if you are already saved--draw closer and closer to God by reading your Bible, praying, serving, and trusting Him to rescue you while you sneak around and find a safe house for women. Do Not Threaten To Leave Him. Say nothing to him. Wait until he is gone and run to that safe house. And don't worry about your clothes and things. Your safety is of utmost importance. (If you can't find a safe house, go to a trusted family member or friend, just run to someone who will hide you from Ken. There, you can take steps to try and remove Ken from your life where Ken cannot harm you. And whatever you do, do not agree to meet with him alone for any reason.
  • Marke - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Two main factors in growing in the Lord are prayer and Bible study. Romans 10:17 tells us that faith cometh by reading, hearing, and believing the word of God. Never stop studying the word of God as you seek your faith to increase.

    Another important point in growing in faith is the need for humility. When the disciples asked the Lord in Luke 17 to increase their faith, He gave them instructions about humility.

    5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

    6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

    7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?

    8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

    9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.

    10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
  • Kay - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Romans 10:17 - be much in God's Word.

    And - act on your faith. Faith grows in our obedience to God's Word. James tells us that 'faith without works is dead'. We SHOW our faith by walking in the good works that God has ordained for us to walk in, Eph. 2:10.

    Blessings!

    A very fundamental lesson

    All flesh is appointed to die.

    Every soul that sin shall die the 2nd death.

    There's a new birth at conversion for those who trust in Christ. This is defined in baptism.

    And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Hebrews 9:27.

    There is in scripture what is called the 2nd death. This has been taken care of for those who trust Christ.

    Without Christ you're already dead.

    1 Timothy 5:6.

    Ephesians 2:5.

    Revelation 3:1.

    Colossians 2:13.

    Romans 8:10.

    Mathew 8:22.

    Luke 15:24.

    And here's an important one for the brethren.

    1 John 3:14.

    John 11:25-26. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

    AND WHOSOEVER LIVETH AND BELIEVETH IN ME SHALL NEVER DIE. Believest thou this?

    One of many verses on the 2nd death.

    Revelation 20:13-14. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

    And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

    Eternal life.

    If you truly trust in Christ, you have been baptized into Christ. You already have ETERNAL life. That's the only kind he's giving.

    If you haven't truly trusted in Christ you're already dead while you liveth and it shows up in your living and it observed carefully you'll find it in their Doctrine.

    Romans 8:9.

    Romans 10:8-10. But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

    That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

    For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

    God bless.
  • Jim - In Reply - 4 years ago
    No.

    John the Baptist would have been That Prophet had Judah recieved Christ but they rejected him.

    John the Baptist was like the famous Elijah because he was a fore runner to get Israel baptized to prepare to receive their King and the Redemption out from the devil's dominion.

    He was a son of a Temple Servant: A Levite, but never served the temple, he was not A team material in the tribe like Elijah.

    He Never served the Temple.

    Malachi chapter 3:1

    " Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple,"

    Isaiah chapter 66 v 1 has some very rhetorical questions of Where God Dwells.

    Today's Temple is in you. God was in Christ reconciling Himself to the world and Colossians 1:27 states that to the Born Again, it is " Christ in You".

    The new temple Christ will build in 3 days AFTER the existing remains/ foundations are WASTED, is where God will Dwell with His People: The Bride of Christ.

    The Bride are the leadership like in the wilderness: levites. Virgins because they did not worship other gods.

    We are members of the Body of Christ, where God Dwells Now.

    The Bride's outreach is to those who are in the resurrection of the just; the Children who are taught in dreamy sweet Tabetnacles like David's was.

    They need to confess and believe too to 'brand-up' with eternal life because it was not accessible to them before they died.

    The refining begins by establishing leadership.

    The temple to serve today is Not the Bride, it is the Body of Christ.

    Elijah to come has holy spirit, is born again and it is Christ who has commissioned him.

    When Christ comes to his temple, he comes to the Body of Christ whom Elijah is counted among.

    Romans 10:9
  • Jim - 4 years ago
    Yes.

    The New body is fashioned like Christ's : is 100% holy spirit. You cannot stand before God at His Throne without it. Daniel chapter 7:14. So get some.

    Your mind will be no longer susceptible to the whims and fears of the natural body you were born with.

    We eat, we travel very well not limited to the physical laws of this physical domain because we are always "seated at the right hand of God" as Sons of God, that is our homebase.

    To be a Son of God is to do Romans 10:9, to confess Jesus as your Lord and to believe that God raised him from the dead. That is it!

    At that moment you have a perfectly renewed mind but it needs maintenance to stay in fellowship ( see 1st John about fellowship fixes, Romans 12:1, etc.) and someday we will live free from fleshy entanglements in our new dreamy holy spirit bodies.

    Angels are servants, we are Sons.

    hope that helps you .
  • S Spencer - 4 years ago
    Hi Roman.

    Thanks for replying.

    I've moved this conversation to a new thread since the other is a week old, And off topic.

    You stated:

    "Spencer, Jesus said 2 commandments are most important, above all. If I follow the commandments, I will be OK at that. I don't need to dissect a butterfly to see how it flies. My impression is that everyone good and bad make it to the promised land, the tainted spirits we wear will be made whole so we haven't the capacity to sin. Even though it's dangled in our faces, the lake of fire is only for the 3 evil spirits, and no one else. Too much speculation and fuss is made over what will never be known and confirmed from the hear and now. Anything that occurs past the 7th trumpet is beyond our scope, beyond our comprehension, and out of this world. For all we know, our salvation comes from being thrown back into the universe as dust particles, into a new realm.

    I don't think about my salvation, I don't worry about it, because it's not mine to entertain, but God's.

    My personal salvation is rooted in selfishness that I could be good enough to make the grade.

    I seek truth well before salvation. I was never a fanatic for life, so I look forward to death, the charade over. I wouldn't mind being blotted out as if I never existed, no record, that would be fine with me, too. I will have to wait and see what the Lord has in store for me.' End quote.

    Roman if I had that mindset there wouldn't be any need to witness.

    Roman you said you believe the lake of fire was only for the 3 evil spirits. here's their fate. Revelation 20:10.

    But in this same chapter here's

    mention of the lost suffering the same fate!! Revelation 20:15.

    Here's a few of many scriptures I believe.

    We've all sinned and come up short.

    Romans 3:22-25.

    The payment/Blood sacrfice.

    Matthew 20:28.

    Hebrews 9:26.

    Conclusion.

    John 6:28-29.

    John 3:16-17.

    Romans 10:9.

    1 Corinthians 15:1-4.

    Thanks and God bless you Roman.

    Perhaps later.

    God bless.

  • Cindy R Wiggins Tapia - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Dear Marvin: if you have been born again, that is saved, allow me to suggest you study the Gospel of John which teaches the deity of Jesus, and the verses written by the Apostles Paul and Peter which show us how to grow stronger in our walk with Jesus Hebrews 5:11-6:12, 1 Cor. 3:1-4, 10-15, Eph 4:11-16, 1 Pet. 2:1-3, 2 Pet.1:3-10.

    Jesus said in John 3:3 "Ye must be born again to enter the kingdom of Heaven."

    What the Bible says about being saved.

    "As it is written, 'There is none righteous, no, not one.'" ( Romans 3:10)



    "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." ( Romans 3:23)

    "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." ( Romans 6:23)

    "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." ( Romans 5:8)



    "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." ( Romans 10:13)



    How to be born again

    That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.- Romans 10:9-13

    God bless you on your journey for Christ.
  • Chris - In Reply on Romans 10 - 4 years ago
    Indeed Kevin. Salvation is a free gift offered to all who come to God through His Son. And as you quoted ( Ephesians 2:8,9), we see that salvation can only become our blessed possession because of God's Gift of His Grace & of saving Faith - there's no other way that a sinner can ever hope to receive that wonderful Gift. And not only to the Jew but also to the Gentile ( Romans 10:11-13).

    "That if (conditional) thou (regarding Israel. See verse 1) confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus," This verse is offering salvation to the nation Israel, but first they must confess that Christ is their Saviour before they could have faith in Him. This is not the sinners pray as some confess. Today salvation is a free gift, and you can only receive that gift. There is nothing that you have to do for it. Eph.2:8,9 That's faith plus nothing!

    Ray, man is a BODY made from dust.

    God is LIFE, God is SPIRIT, therefore Spirit is life.

    Job 34:14 If he (SPIRIT) set his (Spirit's) heart upon man, if he (Spirit) gather unto himself his (God's) spirit and his (God's) breath;

    Job 34:15 ALL FLESH shall perish together, and man shall turn again into dust.

    Acts 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that the Lord is God of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands,

    Acts 17:25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he GIVETH TO ALL life, and breath, and ALL THINGS;

    Acts 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations to dwell on the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation.

    Ephesians 4:4 There is ONE BODY (the vessel that holds life) and one Spirit (the life in the vessel)....

    Ephesians 4:6 One God and Father OF ALL, who is above ALL, and through ALL, and IN YOU ALL.

    Hebrews 12:23 ... and to the spirits of just men MADE PERFECT,

    Philippians 2:13 For it is GOD (LIFE, TRUTH) that worketh IN YOU both TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.

    We are just the vessel that holds God (Life, Truth). Life and Truth cannot die, so when this body of flesh dies Christ gives us HIS BODY. We are joined in union with Christ.

    Hello ELB or GBU,

    I'd like to comment on your comment:

    "the grave awaits those that commit suicide, they will be brought back to their flesh at the second resurrection, judged, brought to truth, and given their place in the Kingdom of God."

    The two assumptions I see in this sentence is that dead people (or cremated) will go back to the flesh, and second, that all people will go to the "Kingdom of God." I assume by that term you mean eternal life in heaven.

    So, when I read 1 Corinthians 15:42-44 to me that says we will not go back into the same flesh as before, but one that is now "imperishable" as it says, and one that is a spiritual body.

    As for assuming someone who commits suicide will go to heaven, I'm not sure if that's what you mean or not. If so, I'm not sure where that belief comes from because the Bible clearly says most people will go to hell, not to heaven. Matthew 7:13. Salvation is conditional upon people taking action to follow Jesus. The Bible says "if" many times like in Romans 10:9, 1 John 1:9, John 15:10, John 14:15. God bless.

    Hi again Ravina.

    To put it in context with the verse you supplied and to be direct.

    I begin with "Sin" separates us from God.

    Jesus is to you, me and the WHOLE world the propitiation for our sins. 1 John 2:2.

    Here's the definition for Propitiation.

    Greek:

    Transliteration: hilasmos

    Pronunciation: hil-as-mos'

    Definition: atonement that is (concretely) an expiator: - propitiation.

    KJV Usage: propitiation.

    To expiate is to make amends or reparation for; atone for: expiate one's sins by acts of penance. To make amends; atone.

    "The penalty of sin has been paid"

    Here's how John the baptist describes him.

    The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. John 1:29.

    Now, to put my first reply in harmony with this post,

    Though Jesus is our propitiation for our sins, we must accept him and believe this good news.

    "The Gospel".

    1 Corinthians 15:3-4.

    Romans 10:9-10. ect...

    If we reject this good news here's our fate.

    Hebrews 10:26-27. For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

    But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

    When we have been truly born again we're given the a new nature and power over sin.

    Romans 6:20-22. For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

    What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

    But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

    I hope this helps.

    God bless.

    Dear "Ray Eison",

    You know Jesus and you know He died on the cross, right? There my friend Jesus says to the one who hung beside the Him:

    Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

    Hope this gave you an answer. Stay blessed Jesus loves u and i in Christ. Acts 18

    It should read:body, soul and spirit.

    Where does each one go at death according to the bible.

    Need to know where to find it in the bible.
  • Ray Eison on Romans 10 - 4 years ago
    Man is body, mind and soul.

    Can you tell me, where do each of these go when you die and where in the bible can I fine the answer for each.

    Good morning David,

    I've seen you post two prayer requests and we're going to lift you up in prayer. Both you, Kristie and your coworkers.

    Lord God, for any heaviness in heart for that David may encounter -- you are there and you've set His feet (and Kristie's) to walk on the Solid Rock which is Christ Jesus. We lift them up in prayer and to those who they encounter in their daily walk even in work. Most of us who live born again in You (Lord) work by the sweat of the brow in this world. Many of those we share labor with, know You not. Let us be that Light to them whether it be to share with them short passage of your Salvation ( Romans 10:8-13) that with Love they may know your Truth of Salvation and be born again. We lift up these prayers and magnify your Holy & Mighty name Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!

    John 16:22 - And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.
