21 | You probably have read this scripture | John 3:16 | welldigger | 65114 | ||
Please bare with me John. Basically, I am asking the same questions that God asked me awhile back. That is, I used to believe the same way that you do today awhile back. But God came and showed me that what I was believing was not in agreement with the scriptures and was a lie. Then He showed me the truth and I really am just wanting to share that with anyone that is willing to allow Him to show them also. The next question He asked me is this: You have probably read this verse: For THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23) Wages equals payment, right? So, if the payment for sin is the death of a soul in hell, then how come you won't have to pay for those sins that you committed by the death of your soul in hell? |

22 | Did Jesus offer Himself for your sins | John 3:16 | welldigger | 65115 | ||
Did Jesus offer Himself as a sacrifice for your sins? | ||||||
23 | Were you not included in that statement | John 3:16 | welldigger | 65127 | ||
I am just giving you an opportunity to praise the Lord Jesus Christ and confess Him as your Saviour. Isn't He the one that the scriptures themselves say paid the payment for the sins of the whole world? And he is the **propitiation for our sins**: and not for ours only, but also **FOR THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD**. (1 John 2:2) Were you not included in that statement? |

24 | Notice the past tense used | John 3:16 | welldigger | 65132 | ||
Think about what that verse says justme, "If we claim we have not sinned". See how it's stated in past tense. God says to repent, or turn from sin. If someone truly obeys Him, all they will have is past sins. They will have sin, but just past sin, covered by the sacrifice of Jesus. Praise God!!! :) By the way, I understand your point about being so frank with these posts, but I must tell you something justme. In the past, I was believing similarly to many of the people I have corresponded with on this site. Then, awhile back, God showed me many things in the scriptures, and showed me that what I was believing was a lie and not in agreement with the scriptures. Of course I was shocked! But He showed me in the scriptures what the truth was, so I believed Him. Then He told me to share that with anyone who is willing to allow Him to show them. So, that's what I'm doing. He asked me these same questions and tells us all to ask ourselves these questions: SINCE YE SEEK A PROOF OF CHRIST SPEAKING IN ME, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you. For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you. EXAMINE YOURSELVES, WHETHER YE BE IN ***THE FAITH*** [[not A faith, but THE faith]]; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? (2 Corinthians 13:3-5) COME NOW, AND LET US REASON TOGETHER, SAITH THE LORD: [[not you and I to reason together, but for each of us to reason with HIM – in His scriptures]] though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. IF YE BE WILLING AND OBEDIENT, ye shall eat the good of the land: But IF YE REFUSE AND REBEL, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. (Isaiah 1:18-20) |

27 | Am I understanding you clearly | John 3:16 | welldigger | 65290 | ||
John, I think what you said is according to the scriptures, but I want to be sure I understand you clearly. Are you saying that God will forgive you of those sins that you commit because of the sacrifice of Jesus. The following scriptures speak of the forgiveness of sins being dependant on the sacrifice of Jesus. Without that offering/sacrifice of Jesus, there would be no forgiveness possible, because it’s BY that sacrifice that forgiveness is possible. This being because God is a just God and cannot lie. So if He says that the payment for sin is death, the payment must be collected. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. (Hebrews 9:22) But, if another person doesn't owe any payment for their own self (i.e. is perfect, without sin, no sin to pay for theirself - Jesus), then God will allow that perfect person to pay the payment for the ungodly person, in the ungodly person's place or stead. By the which will we are sanctified through THE OFFERING OF THE BODY OF JESUS CHRIST once for all. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, AFTER HE HAD OFFERED ONE **SACRIFICE FOR SINS** for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; (Hebrews 10:10-12) Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children BY JESUS CHRIST to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom WE HAVE **REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS**, ACCORDING TO THE RICHES OF HIS GRACE; (Ephesians 1:5-7) So are you saying that you ask God to forgive you of those sins that you commit, and He grants you that forgiveness for those sins you committed **BECAUSE** the sacrifice of Jesus was the payment for those sins that you committed? That is, that Jesus paid for those sins that you committed, in your stead, so that you wouldn’t have to pay for them yourself, by the death of your soul in hell? |

28 | Context and exegesis with regard to what | John 3:16 | welldigger | 65347 | ||
What do you mean by "remember the context and exegesis" with regard to the scriptures I have brought to your attention? Are you saying in 1 John 2:2 where it says that Jesus is the propitiation for the whole world's sins is not saying that Jesus died for your sins? Or are you saying that Romans 6:23 does not say that the wages of sin is death? Sorry, I am confused as to what you are talking about. | ||||||
29 | Breaking commandments | John 3:16 | welldigger | 65377 | ||
Please bare with these questions and the scriptures He's putting before you. Please remember to just be honest with yourself and God when answering and reading the scriptures that He brings to your attention. He has to show you, but you can't see what He wants to show you if you are not honest with yourself and Him. Okay, John, the next thing that God asked me was the following: When you break the commandments, do you ever know what the commandments are, and that you are about to break one, but you go ahead and do it anyway? |
||||||
30 | Slip up | John 3:16 | welldigger | 65884 | ||
You said "every once in a while I do slip up". To be sure I understand you, are you saying that every once in awhile you know what the commandments are, and that you are about to break one, but you go ahead and do it anyway? | ||||||
