He is always gentle with His own. If you hear a harsh tone, it isn't God.
If he needs to be harsh, he is harsh. It is for your own good.

What is a serious sin to you?
As His child, and one who walks daily with Him, I will not commit a 'serious sin'.
If he needs to be harsh, he is harsh. It is for your own good.
That is pride.
What is a serious sin to you?
Don't you repent when you sin?
You didn’t answer my question. Why do you sin? Do you yield to temptation or do you have no respect for the commandments of Jesus?
I’m not talking about the Lord’s voice. I am talking about the consequences of our sin. The more stubborn we are of repenting of our sin, the more severe are the consequences of our sin.You don't get it. A harsh word is never God's voice.
There is no pride in it. The word of God tells us that we cannot continually walk in sin, and when we walk with Him, we will not fall.
I sin because I am not fully perfected yet. I will sometimes yield to temptation as we all do, in spite of the fact that I love my Lord Jesus very much.
I commend your honesty. I also think we have all yielded to temptation.
Where you believe you lose your salvation when you yield to temptation, I don't, according to God's word. Jesus says nothing can separate me from Him.
Read Romans 8
I don’t define salvation as you do. I simply think that we suffer for a period of time after each sin. The Lord is a loving parent and it is his responsibility to discourage us from committing sin.

Suffer? It is your responsibility to obey God. By the virtue of you being His child, and a new creature in Christ, you are already discouraged from sinning.
You need to learn about salvation, because you have been sold a bill of goods.

Then I ask you Elijah23, how do you define salvation? Does it accord with the word of God? So that there will be no misunderstanding of intent or stance.
I've been chastized many times by God and out of that comes a realization of what I just said, but I also know the mercies of God and I constantly seek them to keep me afloat.
God Bless,

I have learned much from experience. When I give in to temptation, I suffer. When I don’t give in to temptation, I don’t suffer.
Experience doesn’t sell us a bill of goods. Experience teaches us truth.
