1 | Can one who commits suicide be saved? | Ex 20:13 | Inerrant Word | 3673 | ||
Mel, you mistake "love" for a feeling and do not realize that it's an action. Are you married? Do you have children? Are there not times when you are angry and frustrated with the people you love? Love is an action, and Christ's love is with us regardless of how we feel ... even in extreme depression. As for the Psalms and the Lord's act of perfecting that which concerns Him, this is purely eschatological! When are we perfected, Mel? In this life, or the next? As for the "unforgiveable sin," stating that it's "unforgiveness" is bad exegesis. Look at the parallel passages in context (Mark 3:28-29; Luke 12:10; Matthew 12:31-32). The nature of the sin involves attributing the obvious power of the Holy Spirit to Satan and is an established mindset and attitude, not a period of momentary doubt. (If anyone is concerned about whether they've committed the sin or not, they probably haven't.) As for forgiveness, there are two levels of forgiveness: one practical and one intimate. We are ultimately and legally forgiven of our sins (the permanent imputation of Christ's righteousness to our account), but we are also, on a more intimate and personal level, forgiven when we confess our sins before the Father and seek the reestablishment of communion with God. | ||||||

Mel, Matthew 18 should be read in its context (i.e., church discipline). Just as Paul spoke of excommunicating the unrepentent sinner in order to let sin takes its depraved course, and thereby allowing the man to see the need for true repentence and renewed fellowship (1 Corinthians 5:1-5), Jesus recommended the same action for a Christian who hates his brother: turn him over to his unrepentent anger and allow the sin to run its course. In cases where an individual's salvation is genuine (and only God knows whether it is or not), he or she will become extremely sorrowful after further conviction by the Spirit. Notice the parallel between Paul handing the sexual deviant over to Satan for the destruction of his "flesh," and Jesus' handing the angry brother over to "the torturer" until all is paid for. Also notice that in Paul's case, the man's soul is ultimately saved. In Jesus' case, it's implied by the fact that the man's anger is eventually paid for and the man is released. As for Revelation 3:15, what does that have to do with the discussion at hand? |

thanks brother. Jesus never recommended anything. He said this WILL happen unless you Forgive .Jesus never condemned a person. 1 corrin 5:5 says may be saved not will be. it is all a choice.For example A.I.D.S.a persons flesh is destroyed ,but will they repent and accept Jesus? unless they surrender all,what will happen? the facts are that sin is sin and if you die in your sin you are? luke warm. reverlation 3:15. |
