    Is Sinning on Purpose Willful Sin ?

    John is no liar. The unrighteousness here is a person choosing to live in sin. He's not talking about repented sin, but failing to see your sin as sin, thus living unrighteously. That person is not saved.

    Is Sinning on Purpose Willful Sin ?

    I'm not sure how one could lose their salvation. Paul told the Corinthians test yourself to see if you are in the faith, not to see if you are still in the faith. Even the apostles had to test themselves. In the upper room when Jesus told them that one of them would betray Him, how did they...

    Is Sinning on Purpose Willful Sin ?

    I Disagree. I'd say that if a person professes to accept Christ, then later rejects Christ, they never really accepted Christ as savior in the first place. A person may look and act like a Christian on the outside but never be saved. 1 John 2:19 tells us they were not really saved. If they were...

    Bible Study Is Death A Sin? - Yes!

    In order to understand this better we need a definition of death. What does it mean to die? To me, death is separation. When we physically die, our body is separated from our spirit. When Adam sinned, he was separated from God. Both are called death. In Romans 6:2 Paul says we are dead to sin...

    Bible Study Is Death A Sin? - Yes!

    Timothy, I wasn't asking you directly, just a general question in hopes to guide us to find an answer. Maybe we don't see loss of fellowship as death, but Maybe God does.

    So you're saying a person can lose their salvation?

    Bible Study Is Death A Sin? - Yes!

    Look to 1 John 1:6-9. Before they ate the fruit they had never sinned. They were in fellowship with God. After they ate they lost their fellowship. They (and we) need to confess before we can again be in fellowship with God. Could this loss of fellowship be the death in question?

    Bible Study Idolatry

    I think these verses address the fight inside the believer who wants to avoid the lusts of the flesh and do the works of the spirit.

    Did early Christians ever understand grace?

    We work because we are saved, not so that we will be saved.

    Bible Study Is Death A Sin? - Yes!

    Before they ate the fruit they were in fellowship with God. After they ate, their eyes were opened. They knew they had sinned. They realized they were naked and hid from God. The were no longer in fellowship and now spiritually separated from God. Did they turn to God to confess and repent? Not...

    Bible Study Idolatry

    You're right, I suppose I was just thinking about professed Christians who wouldn't bow down before any created object, but might give their life to acquiring, money, or power, or whatever.

    Bible Study Idolatry

    I think God gave them this commandment because they were entering a land where these things were being done. God did not want His people to fall into their idolatry. I don't think many people in our day worship idols like that so I believe those things to be a non issue. The idols we should...

    Bible Study Idolatry

    Paul defined idolatry as covetousness. Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. (Colossians 3:5 NKJV)
