Hello! Sin remains sin for Christians. God has no favourites...He is righteous. The law of God has never changed. It is the MEANS of fulfilling the law that has changed. We are empowered by grace through Christ to do what is right in God's eyes.
John says that there is sin that leads to death...
It is also called cheap grace. This stance has God as a candyman that favours certain people over others so that these spoiled ones can get away with anything they do. It is the opposite swing of the pendulum from legalism.
But God judges all with impartiality. All our gifts including the...
There are 2 resurrections...each with it's own judgment. God will judge His own house first....some will be honoured and some dishonoured. After the millenium, the GWT judgment takes place for the nations...some to life and some to the second death in the lake of fire.
So there are 2 judgments...
In a great house there are vessels of honour and vessels of dishonour. God will reject those who don't keep their garments clean.
Does this mean they will be cast into the lake of fire? No, we are told they will be cast into outer darkness.
The problem with modern Christianity is that...
Jesus died to open the way to life for us. We need to die as He did in order to be raised as He was. He went first...and bids His followers to follow Him through death. The cross death represents the spiritual condition of being helpless to defend oneself as one is going through the ordeal. One...
Here's a clue from the bible...
Act 2:44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
Act 2:45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
Act 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread...
That is physical reproduction. As long as the person is not doing this with fraud or the making of money in mind...sure. Do you know how many old people go to art classes and copy a famous painting? Have you never received a photocopy of an article that is to be discussed? Copying is the...
If a comedian who is trying to make a living (or a killing) on writing jokes has one of his joke creations go viral on the internet....are the joke tellers all in criminal violation of intellectual property rights?
The abortion issue doesn't compare since abortion is the destroying of something whereas copying is MORE reproduction. Again it was technology that allowed for a performance to be reproduced millions of times in order to make millions of dollars from a single performance. The advance of...
The world has changed. Archaic copyright laws based on physical copying have little to do with the availability of media on the internet. Youtube is the new public domain. It is the new "town square" where people gather and share information...for free!!! This is good for the expansion of the...
I am a musician myself. We musicians are used to being underpaid and under-appreciated. Jazz scale is still far below the poverty line. By the way...how many musicians get paid on sunday morning compared to preachers?
So I understand the difficulty of paying for services rendered.
But as a...
I hope that it is generally understood that it was Mammon that set Alexander the copper smith so strongly at odds with the apostle Paul. After all, the conversion of so many away from idolatry was hurting his livelihood of idol making.
I think this has everything to do with business in general...
Try submitting your worship songlist for copyright consideration. Could you be worshiping illegally ?
After all he who breaks the least law is guilty under the law.
