Bible Question: I am only new here, so please bear with me. I have many questions in my heart and many concrens, but i will stick with what I read about 1 Corinthians 5, about the sins that were happening in the church there, I myself have tried to live the righteous life, seeing black and white in the scriputres but never able to live up to them, I have ended up caving in and sinning, I hate myself. I feel guilty continually and have tried to make up to God, but I feel so dirty so I stay from him, you mentioned about the fact that he paid the price on the cross for our sins, past present and future, but where does that leave us if we try but continue to sin, does that lead us to hell? that is my biggest fear. I hope someone can shed some light on this....I am not sure how long i can go on. |
Bible Answer: what a blessing it is to hear such sweet suplications ... caving in and sinning ... feeling guilty ... trying to make it up to God ...willing2change ... I have been getting eaten alive by the well meaning saints of this forum today and last night. The verse you refer to is a stumbling block for many Christians, and it is used ... out of the context .. to destroy peoples faith in redemption. After recieving many replies from others who refuse to even consider that the truth speaks for itself, I told myself today that I am through with this forum. I have been heart-sick all day because I saw the Word of God torn in two and used for kindling the fires. I can not handle the misuse and abuse, because I live, eat, drink and breath by the Word. ..... then I see your Question and the awesome reply from scribe. and I thank God he was there. I would be honored to share the truth with you. If you would like to talk, we must speak elsewhere. I could not handle another beating like I just got from the ones who think we should be cowards and let others kill with the sword. Hang on brother, and call Jesus by his newest name ... willing2changeU2 ... joel k joelweger@msn.com |
