But yet ALL Believers are still "works in progress". We won't have sin fully removed until our physical bodies die. Repentenance is key. Old Testament - God constantly has prophets tell His people to Repent to be forgiven. New Testament Gospels - What did John the Baptist and Jesus first teach? Repent The VERY first teaching by Jesus was in... Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." It was also a key teaching by John the Baptist Matthew 2:2 and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!"  I am a humble Servant of the one True Living God. |

Beloved, a Christian is a FOLLOWER OF CHRIST. Not simply a 'believer' because the Bible says that even demons believe (James 2:19). I don't know what 'jesus' you're following, but it is not the Jesus of the Bible. If you're truly following Jesus, He will never lead you to sin; you can be sure of that. The enemy has truly blinded you if you think that you're okay with God while still living comfortably in your sins. Don't be deceived. Read the Bible for yourself & you will see. Do not harden your hearts, the Bible may hurt you with the truth but it will never comfort you with a lie. After-all, it is the truth that sets one free. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75471559 Here are a few verses that I hope & pray will convict you, lead you to personally seek God & repentance. Titus 1:16 "They profess that they know God; but in works they DENY HIM, being ABOMINABLE, and DISOBEDIENT, and unto every good work reprobate." -- Is this you? Professing to know God.. professing to be a Christian but denying Him with your lifestyle by disobeying Him & living in sin? 1 John 2:4 "He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." -- yes, the Word of God says you're a liar. Seems harsh, doesn't it? But it's the truth being said in love. Matthew 16:24 "Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me." -- Are you denying yourself? Along with all your selfish desires? No longer your will, but God's will be done? Are you taking up your cross, dying to self & dying to the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, & the pride of life? Are you counting the cost to follow Christ? Leaving your sinful lifestyle & the world behind? Is He worth it to you? You can't serve two masters beloved, choose today whom you will serve. It is all or nothing. Be blessed~ Your post smells of stale ideas and worn-out laughter |

We're all on meth nowadays, figuratively. Hyper-sexualization indoctrination starts at birth and is super saturated and ubiquitous. The entire reason for atheism is because people are all sexed up and in a frenzy. I think a lot of people hate it, and regret it, but repent? It's compulsory. How do you fix that? Are we damned simply for being born in the 20th/21st century?

Where is this liberal empathy you speak of while they are attempting to genocide white conservative culture? Many liberals openly advocate genocide of the white race. Typical liberal hypocrites. Let's not even begin to discuss all of the sexual degeneracy liberals practice and advocate. What kind of morals spawned all of that? The truth is liberals are pure evil. And I'm an agnostic. My point of view isn't coming from a religious background. As I see it most liberals are sick in the head. Truly vile people. |

There is nothing you personally can do, yourself to avoid this and there is no sin you can commit that is worse than what is already joined unto you at your birth. We are, in fact, all damned. However, if you embrace Jesus Christ as your savior, that is your ticket out. Jesus was crucified so that you can enjoy your beer.
