I am a Christian and love God with all my heart, but I am also addicted to marijuana. I have been fighting this for a long time. Those who say you can't get addicted to that are just wrong. You can. I am. I have been begging, praying, pleading, crying, everything possible to be released from this. I've not made it longer than 3 days at any point. Please pray for me. I need to let this go. I'm broken every single time because I know I am disappointing and angering God. He has every part of my life, except this and I do not know why this won't stop.
Holy Spirit power is needed to overcome sin and partake of Jesus divine nature. That's why Jesus said we must be born again, born of the Spirit. See John 3, v. 1-8. (Acts 1, v. 8) "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you;" (Galatians 5, v. 16) "I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh." In the name of Jesus, receive the power of His Spirit and be free.
If you want to break the addiction, you must do a few things. #1- Pray, go to church every time the doors are open, read the bible. #2 Look up the show The Chosen and watch every episode. #3 Separate yourself from people that are using and or selling weed AND remove them from your life, cut off all contact. #4- Find something, ANYTHING( that is not destructive) to keep your mind occupied the whole time, so you are not sitting around thinking about wanting to get high. Examples- Book reading for entertainment, camping, fishing, hunting, Golf, bicycling, motorcycles, backyard farming, video games, etc. #5. You can also and should have more than one interest to keep your mind occupied. # 6. Don't give up the fight. After a week it gets easier, after 30 days its even easier. The first week will be the hardest. But accept that its going to suck and face it head on. You are stronger with God than you think you are.
Im 27 I started using marijuana when I was 14. It was a struggle for me too, even after I became born again. Don’t underestimate the power of the free will God has given you. “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.” (1 Cor. 10:13) Go on a water fast for 3 days. Remember all the times as a kid you didn’t need marijuana to feel good or to have fun. Remember the freedom your conscience will feel towards God when you give it up. God bless
Exactly, that's why Jesus died on the cross because we sin just being in human flesh, those who truly trust in Christ are saved, otherwise, why did Jesus die for us. He thought of everyone of you before he died and rose again
Yes, Jesus came to set the captives free. He gave us His blood, body, Spirit and Glory to partake in. He makes us new when we repent and believe on Him as Lord of our life. Now we can walk in newness of life and no longer be servants of sin. Praise Jesus! We are the body of Christ by grace!
And that He will....turn from Sin..Habitual Sin..Sinful lifestyle!!.... Remember, it's not about the perfection of your walk ... but the direction!!... .
It’s an incredibly evil world now. It’s a huge undertaking to take Christ into your life; something you are not really equipped to understand when you are young. Sin is inevitable due to our very nature; and for some Christians persistent and grave sin is a reality. It is imperative that one seeks forgiveness AND repents (resolve to change our ways) before it’s too late. The future for this world is utterly terrifying and my hope is that God will intervene very very soon to deliver his children by His Son.
I have struggled for years with several things smoking cigarettes being my biggest vice.. my friend quit and I ask her how.. she said you gotta want to quit more than you want to smoke… the way I heard it is you have to love God more than the sin that so easily besets us… so I have been fighting it the urge to go buy some. The Holy Spirit is teaching me how to rely more on Him. And although I feel like it’s going to kill me at times it doesn’t. Also I think of the treasure that God has for me if the enemy is trying so hard to keep me in bondage… may we all be over-comers by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony….fight the good fight of faith it’s the only one worth fighting…
Lord have Mercy, how many children teens and adults in the Church who regularly look at porn, and you never hear preaching on it, keep with repentance and ask the Lord for help, and hate your sin 🙏🏻
We are all sinners. We are not perfect. We make mistakes. And we will be sinners right to the end. We will go to heaven so long as we have embraced Jesus as our saviour. Any other belief would make Jesus’s death on the cross null and void. Even Paul bemoaned the fact that he continued to sin even while saved.
We will be sinners right til the end? Yeah that's not scriptural whatsoever. The Bible is clear that the unrighteous will not inherit God's kingdom. Scripture teaches that there remains no more sacrifice for sins if we go on willfully sinning after coming to the knowledge of the truth. If you're born again you are a new creation and can do all things through Christ...this includes living righteously.
@@Hadassah28 works and abiding aren't the same. I can sit here motionless and resist sin. Works is helping your neighbor fix their car then witnessing later. Also, faith without works is dead but you're too busy sinning you don't want to do anything for the Lord anyways. You will be spat out if you don't repent and live righteously. The Bible is clear the unrighteous will not inherit God's kingdom. You can't serve two masters. Jesus said abide or wither up. To wither up implies you weren't withered up before...you were still on the vine bearing good fruit. Repent
@@robertboutin6232 Oh my, you are self-righteous and judgemental. Whoops, you just sat there and sinned. If we can achieve a completely neutral sin life, then Jesus would be unnecessary. By your logic, Paul who professed to sin, went to Hell.
@@Hadassah28 you bear false witness against someone simply rebuking your false teaching. Paul didn't profess to sin. You're a liar and wish to remain in your filth and not live righteously like we are commanded to. The truth isn't in you. You serve two masters
Many thought Paul was still a sinner, but what did He say? (1 Corinthians 4, v. 4) "For I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord." When he noticed his flesh manifesting things he did NOT choose or agree with he said it is no longer I who sin. Those choosing to sin or agreeing with sin are guilty of sin.
@@jonathanisrael9714 “Choose” is a difficult term to qualify. Obviously when he sinned, no one forced him to do that. His own fallen flesh led him to sin. So yes, he did choose to sin. But he did so against his true will.
@@sechrima9998Nope, this is what Paul said about sin... (1 Corinthians 15, v. 34) "Awake to righteousness, and do Not sin; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame." (1 John 3, v. 3-9) "3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth Not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God." Jesus said sin no more. Jesus said you must be born again. (John 3, v. 1-8) (Acts 1, v. 8) "But ye shall receive Power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:" (Galatians 5, v. 16) "This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall Not fulfil the lust of the flesh."
Being saved is a future expectation. People who are saved do not die. People are still dying. (Matthew 24:13) But the one who has endured to the end will be saved. This however, is talking about survivors of the coming great war. Rev 7:9,10,14. Still, it shows that being saved is in the future.
The unrighteous will not inherit God's kingdom. We are saved by grace through faith but we are also to do as Jesus commands of us. Jesus commands us to cut the sin out and abide otherwise we can wither up and will be cast into fire. Once saved always saved isn't scriptural.
He says be perfect as I am perfect. If it wasn’t possible He would not have told us to… Walk in the spirit and we won’t fulfill the things of the flesh… We can’t do it in our own strength but with Christ all things are possible… don’t get complacent with sin fight it with all you got… you will be glad you did when you stand in front of Him you will know He was the only thing that ever mattered! Much love…
@@deelyons9997 Romans 3:23-24 23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins
@@deelyons9997 It is an invitation to better understand Heavenly Father's plan and follow Him. In the New Testament, the Greek word for perfect means complete, whole, or fully developed, having reached an end-goal. Jesus Christ invites us to strive for that kind of perfection. And He alone can help us to reach it-eventually.
We are still in the dispensation of Grace, that means Gods forgiveness is for one and all. If you fall passionately in love with your Creator, and what He has done for you, you will eventually find yourself in a place that sin will disgust you, because of what Jesus Christ has done for you.
No this is a false teaching. Scripture is clear that there remains no more sacrifice for sins if we go on willfully sinning after coming to the knowledge of the truth. The Bible teaches that many can and will fall completely away from the faith to never come back again. Jesus said ABIDE or wither up...to wither up implies you weren't withered up before, you were still on the vine bearing good fruit. We are commanded to endure until the end, not 5 minutes.
@robertboutin6232 The willful sin is that of rejecting Christ and, instead, going back to a system of animal sacrifices, or really anything other than believing in Christ. Jesus meaning they won’t find God’s forgiveness in animal sacrifices because the Perfect Sacrifice (Jesus) is the ONLY sacrifice of Christ. You have to understand that purpose of the letter to understand the context of each chapter.
@@GodlySorrow that's not what it's teaching. Stop pretending to be a guru by manipulating scripture to give yourself an excuse to keep on sinning. Unbelievable...
@@robertboutin6232 That’s the issue this entire letter of Hebrews is trying to address. I suggest you keep reading that chapter You have to understand that purpose of the letter to understand the context of each chapter. So you believe Jesus' work in the cross wasn't enough? if your works saved you there would have been no need for Jesus to go to the cross
@@GodlySorrow you're quite the manipulator. Works don't save us. Jesus does. Works are evidence that we are following Jesus as faith without works is dead. Also, works and abiding aren't the same. I can sit here motionless and resist sin. Works is helping your neighbor dig a well then witnessing later. You calvinists always love to distort those two. Jesus commands to cut the sin out or enter hell with it. Did you skip that part? Jesus commands us to abide otherwise we can wither up. To wither up implies you weren't withered up before, you were still on the vine bearing good fruit. Your name can be blotted from the book of life. The lukewarm will be spat out. The unrighteous will not inherit God's kingdom. You skipped all those parts didn't you? You push your osas heresy because you wish to remain in your sin. That's serving two masters. That's the broad road. You will be spat out. Repent false teacher.
Modern day believers seem to NOT understand what it means to 'believe' -- how can you trust what you do not know. Many know about Jesus. Many think they love him. But often they do not -- because they consistently choose to live in a way they KNOW (or should know) that HE cannot tolerate. We all choose. And will spend eternity with that choice.
Amen to your message truth is this is so many I know that regard themselves as saved breaks my heart. If our Christianity costs us nothing it's worth nothing. How very sad for them. Oh how I love the truth of God's Word.
@@walterkowalski8271 what you said is true -- and profound. We are called to pray for those who do not know Him. Sometimes that will include some who have intellectual understanding only.
Philippians 3 3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. 4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
Its impossible to be sinless. Jesus agreed that is impossible, and said what is impossible for humans, its possible for God. He went on the cross because its impossible. You could say that you can repent but you will still sin when you slip or unknowingly. Bible says that every sin is willful. I'm so confused, guilt and shame makes me feel horrible, I don't know what is sin and what is not. Will people who smoke cigars go to hell? Who overeat? Who masturbate? Who looks at women? Its impossible for a man to look at woman he likes and not feel anything, especially for a single man. Everyone will end up in hell.
No, the Bible does not say that every sin is willful. There is a difference between willful sin and inherent sin. This is why Jesus said take up your cross daily. Paul said to Corinth, "I protest by your rejoicing, I die daily." That is to crucify the old man or the sinful nature. We will not escape inherent sin until we get our glorified body. We will not get a glorified body if we commit willful sin. For more on this topic, No King But Caesar & The Return Of The Melchisedec is available online at Advantage Books. Peace to all.

Are you without sin pastor? I am not. I believe Jesus shed His blood as the last sacrificial lamb so His blood could cover my sins (and humanity’s sins) if only I (or anyone for that matter) believe in Him as my (or their) personal Savior and if I confess and truly repent of my sins and ask for His forgiveness and I confess openly my belief in Jesus as my Savior. Meanwhile I try to do good and keep His commandments - but my goodness comes up short many times and is but filthy rags to Jesus and my sins are many. But God. He is my only hope. I have repented of my sins and I repent in prayer as well as glorify Him in prayer. But I am still a sinner - as I am human flesh.
@@robertboutin6232if I could only be sinless and perfect like you. (And yes, that is sarcastic and probably a sin) …. Too bad. I will never be good enough according to a perfect human like you. Thankfully I believe in a Savior named Jesus who came to “save” me - was given as a gift to us on this earth for that very purpose. He loves me and he knows my heart and knows my faults and sins and goodness and love for him. I will lean on him to be my judge in the end and trust his Word that I am his and no one can pluck me out of his hand. Of course I will try to be without sin… but I am not perfect. I have messed up before and likely will again. But I know he will be there helping me - chastising me if it mess up and helping me to do better and be a good Christian as much as I can: but he knows I am human. He knows I am not perfect yet. I will be when I live in Heaven with him and get my new spiritual body.
My dad tried to convince me he can do drugs and still go to heaven. Its hypocritical. He made a deal with the Devil and God was not invited to the meeting. Hes been angry at me ever since for telling him the truth. In my experience, sinners always blame the innocent.
So...slip up and we're hellbound, huh? I am saved by the grace of God and by the blood of Jesus, but I have sinful thoughts everyday...so I have NO HOPE? No believer is sinless and perfect.

The spirit changes when we give our lives to the Lord....not the flesh, we still struggle with old habbits and emotions. Its called DAILY SANCTIFICATION thats why we put on the armour of God daily. Spirit strong but flesh weak says Paul.
@hdfxst1521 ephesians 6 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. I am praying for you, you can overcome 🙏🏻 The Spirit of God will lead you through this if you surrender to Him daily.
Sin makes us spiritually dirty, being unclean by sin takes us away from GOD which is clean and pure. only things that are clean and not of sin can be in the presence of GOD. So whether Christian or not; if it's unclean and sinful it' has no place in a presence of God or the kingdom of heaven.🙏🙏🙏🙏
If this were the case, none could enter Heaven We all still sin until death. The only thing that can rectify that is the saving blood and redemption of Jesus.
In 1 John it says that if we say we have no sin we are liars and the truth is not in us. This means that christians ARE sinners, BUT forgiven sinners. Once you grapple with the reality that as a forgiven sinner nothing, absolutely nothing can seperate you crom the One who died for you. Sinning is a choice between dying to self or living for Jesus and this will take your whole life to learn, BUT He who began a good work in you will bring to completion at His coming!!!! Do not despair, He will never leave you or forsake you.
We all lived in willful sin before we repented and accepted Jesus as our LORD now. (1 John 3, v. 6-10) "Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother."
@@jonathanisrael9714 a Are you saying you've never, ever sinned after becoming a believer? These passages reflect our sinless spiritual standing in Christ who is seated in Heaven with the Father, however as we labor against the flesh on this side of Heaven, we are still living in our mortal bodies and will sin in deed or thought. Romans 12 reminds us that we can be transformed (action, verb) by submitting our wills over as we strive to live the life that Christ has placed IN US by His Holy Spirit.
@eugenejoseph7076 Jesus said sin no more. Paul said those born of the Spirit do not practice sin. John said those born of God can NOT sin. Sadly, most claiming faith in Jesus do not agree so they teach contrary saying 'you will sin.' WHY DOES SCRIPTURE SAY "IF"? (1 John 2, v. 1), "My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may NOT sin. And IF anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous." (1 John 5, v. 16), "IF anyone sees his brother sinning a sin..." (James 5:15), "The prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and IF he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven him." (Matthew 5, v. 30), Jesus said, "And IF your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell." (Hebrews 10, v. 26), "For IF we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,"

Yes. Everyone still sins by the time they are about to die. So why did God die on the cross if nobody can quit sinning. If you don’t sin , then you’re a liar.

Isaiah 64:6 For the wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23 (The word death in this verse means eternal separation from God in hell). Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.

Colossians 1:14 For by grace ye are saved, through faith; and not of yourselves. It is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 I do not frustrate the grace of God, for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. Galatians 2:21 Realize that you are a hopeless sinner and trust in Jesus shed blood on the cross to pay for your sins. The moment you trust in Jesus and only Jesus, you are saved.

The first step is walk towards God, walk with God, and then the repentance doesn't seem like it is just you. When you walk with God, we still feel alone sometimes but we know God is always with us and that is very helpful. When we prefer the light, we won't like the dark....it isn't a one time decision, it isn't a one moment victory, our victor is eternal life with Christ but we have our daily Earthly victory filled with the Holy Spirit.
It's all about Heaven and Earth uniting together in the same space dimension. Our new space neighbours are already committed to righteousness and we will need to be too. As Wormwood, 'The Destroyer', draws nearer, our lives will change dramatically. Gravity will get progressively heavier. It will be more heavier for some than others...but the accurate teaching of Jesus Christ will be our lifeline...for the living, and the dead in Jesus.
You cannot buy your way into heaven! You cannot be sunless after excepting Christ. You are a new creation because you are an in his family. He knew we were going to sin before the foundation of earth. He knew we were going to sin after we were said, he paid for all of those sin!

Be sober minded. (1 Peter 5, v. 8) "Be Sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour."
Christians are NEVER sinfree but we are justified by our Lord Jesus, Christians are never sinless either, but sin sensitive as a Christian is filled with more and more Holy Spirit and matures spiritually.
What Christian does not sin DAILY?! ONLY CHRIST didnt. That is why HE ALONE is the Saviour - the LAMB of God. I challenge ANYONE to PROVE that he is absolutely SINLESS daily in THOUGHT, MOTIVE, INTENT and BEHAVIOUR. "If ANY man say that he hath NO SIN he DECEIVETH HIMSELF and the TRUTH is NOT in him" - I John 1:8. What makes anyone assume that THEIR sins are NOT AS BAD as his brother's?! Time to remove that "beam in your own eye"!
I also do believe if your saved your god filled contiouse slowly works on you to improve your life as a Christian but you as a impure human cant outrun sin because your born into it.
That's what the Bible says. We're justified when we believe then sanctified over time (Romans 8). You can't fill old wine skins with new wine. A new believer is going to have sins that need to be dealt with. It's not going to happen overnight. It's a process.
Well then we're all going to hell. Those who have been indulged in sexual sin their entire lives since age 14 and came to know God and God changed them still fall to sexual sin. And stay there. So the truth is. If you don't overcome sin you go to hell. And I did over come sin for a period of time because of the holy Spirit but I fell back to sin and grieved it until its power was quenched and now I've been overcome by sin. According to the bible that means we are lost. And will perish. And be blotted out of the book of life.
"The teaching of a secret pretribulation rapture is a doctrine that never existed before 1830. Did the pretribulation rapture come into existence by a careful exegesis of Scripture? No. The first person to teach the doctrine was young woman named Margaret Macdonald. Margaret was not a theologian or Bible expositor but was a prophetess in the Irvingite sect (the Catholic Apostolic Church). Christian journalist Dave MacPherson has written a book on the subject of the origin of the pre-tribulation rapture. He writes: “We have seen that a young Scottish lassie named Margaret Macdonald had a private revelation in Port Glasgow, Scotland, in the early part of 1830 that a select group of Christians would be caught up to meet Christ in the air before the days of Antichrist.”
@@matthewkinsey9044 saints are caught up after the tribulation. This is when those ALIVE AND REMAINING saints are caught up at Jesus' second coming. Saints are changed in the twinkling of an eye at the last trump...the last trump isn't before the tribulation. The antichrist wars with the saints DURING the tribulation. Jesus said he's returning AFTER the tribulation, not before. Saints aren't appointed to wrath which occurs AFTER the tribulation. Pre trib isn't scriptural it's a lie from the 1700s that you fell for because you have itchy ears and don't want to endure anything. Sad.
A lot of Christians believe that all their sins (past, present and future) are forgiven once they accept Jesus as their personal Saviour and what he did on the cross. Therefore they can live in sin because of their belief. This is simply not true. Sins you commit in the future are not forgiven before they occur.
@@aussierob7177That means the work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross is not enough - because Jesus has paid only for the sins before someone is born again - for all sins after the re-birth someone must ask again for forgiveness and if sins are to severe these sins will not be forgiven and a child of God together with the Holy Spirit will go into hell forever??
@@aussierob7177Where is this in the Bible? Jesus died for all sins. Trust the Holy Spirit to sanctify you, but don’t kid yourself that you can be free of all sin while still in your fallen flesh.
Future sins don't exist. You have a choice. We will not escape inherent sin until we get our glorified body. We will not get a glorified body if we commit willful sin. For more on this topic, No King But Caesar & The Return Of The Melchisedec is available online at Advantage Books. Peace to all.
It would be a different gospel because you do not trust and believe in Jesus work on the cross alone - but must add own works of endurance to be finally really saved. Read Letter to Galatians - such gospel of works is condemned.

Matthew 24:13 is about those who endure to the end will be saved. It is saved from dying in the coming clean up war. See Revelation 7:9,10,14. (Matthew 5:5) “Happy are the mild-tempered, since they will INHERIT THE EARTH.
@@tongakhan230 Mt 24.13 and particular next 14 speaks NOT about Christians because they are raptured before the 7 years tribulation time will start - they speak about Gentiles and Jews in the 7 years tribulation time.
@@martinschneeberg1653 : What is this rapture? Jesus' anointed followers joining Jesus in heaven has nothing to do with those surviving to live on earth. John 14:3 Also, if I go my way and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will RECEIVE YOU HOME TO MYSELF, so that where I AM YOU ALSO MAY BE.
Survivors who endure to the end will form the New Earth. They logically will not be in heaven. (Psalm 37:9-11) For evil men will be done away with, But those hoping in Jehovah will possess the earth. 10 Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more; You will look at where they were, And they will not be there. 11 But the MEEK WILL POSSESS THE EARTH, And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.
I honestly think the word "All" applies to me when I read "All have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God." Heaven is sin free. "My Kingdom is of the next world, not this one." For me this clearly says I am always a sinner in this world. But most think Jesus was wrong and they try to build "the next world" in this one. Just my opinion. No better than yours. It is one thing to try to make this a better place by not sinning as you understand sin. But, just for me, to think I can be sin free in this world is risking my soul. Judgment is in the next life, not yours to make in this life to my understanding. Perhaps I'm wrong and a person can judge themselves in this life and let God know they are going to Heaven because they want to that is that. I suspect that is God's decision and not mine. Others on this list say the same thing in different words.
"Can a true Christian live in sin and still go to heaven" is an oxymoron. The answer is not yes or no. The answer is that if any person is practicing sinning they are not a true Christian. 1John 3:9 and Luke 9:23 Let us not be fooled! We do not want to be one of those who will be turned away on that day when men stand before God. The way is narrow, and the road is straight, and FEW be that find it. Matt 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Verse 22 MANY will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Verse 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matt 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and FEW there be that find it. Our sin has set us all on the road to hell and no amount of good will fix the sin we have done. We have ALL sinned. It is not about the type of sin or how much sin. It is about the fact that we have sinned. For that reason we all need a Savior.
If we want forgiveness for our sin and peace with God. If we want to escape eternal hell. If we want to go to heaven we must understand the following. We DO NOT get saved (go to heaven), get right with God, forgiven, by being good, by being religious, by just believing in God, by praying a prayer, being baptized, asking or accepting Jesus into our hearts, accepting Jesus as our personal Saviour, confessing our sins, joining a church, cleaning up our lives, doing penance, taking the bread and the wine, or doing all these things accumulative. Salvation is a gift that is given to those who repent and come to faith. Eph. 2:8,9
Salvation takes repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, Acts 20:21. testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. Make no mistake. We cannot be a friend of Christ and remain a rebel against God and unless we repent we remain a rebel. The word repent, from the Greek word “metanoia”, means a change of mind or direction. God is not receiving those who almost or kind of repents. It is like the word About-face which is a 180 degree turn. We turn from not wanting God fully in our lives to willfully surrendering to Him to lead our lives.
When any person comes to the place where they are broken over their sin toward God to the point that they want to get right with God no matter what it will cost them they are in a state/spirit of repentance toward God. Luke 14:33 Luke 14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. The repentant heart would walk away from anything or any one to get right with God. We then take that willing repentant heart we have towards God and place it on the Lord Jesus Christ as Lord and Master, because He paid the price for our sin, and that becomes faith. At that moment God’s grace through Christ is freely applied to us and we are born again, saved from eternal hell and sealed by the Spirit so that we will never again return to the practice of sinning. 1John 3:9,10.
Our first command after salvation is to be baptized. Repentance of sin is the result of the new birth/salvation and will be part of the sanctification process and our new life with the Lord Jesus Christ, Eph 2:10. While we may sin from time to time after salvation it will never again be our practice 2Cor. 5:17, 1John 3:9,10.
John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
REV. 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. It all boils down to are we sorry/broken enough over our sins against God and do we want to get our hearts right with Him or not. Let us be sure that tomorrow does not belong to us.
If narrow is the path where “few find it,” and broad is the road” which leads to destruction,” why would our God become the most important martyr in all the world in the name of “saving sinners” just to cast people into hell that didn’t “behave holy enough?” Even if my own children shunned me as their Father (not saying I’m like God because I’m not), would I feed them to my enemies? Of course not… My heart, in the name of unconditional love, would forever be open to my children returning home… I struggle with how the Bible speaks of hope and condemnation in the same breath.
God became a martyr? Sounds like an oxymoron. God SENT his son and it is Jesus who died. God cannot die. (Habakkuk 1:12) Are you not from everlasting, O Jehovah? O my God, my Holy One, you do not die.
@@tongakhan230 MARTYR definition: noun: a person who is killed because of their religious or other beliefs. "saints, martyrs, and witnesses to the faith" verb: kill (someone) because of their beliefs. "she was martyred for her faith" Jesus (God in the flesh) was killed for starting his church (he became a martyr)…
@@Chaddae52 : The Bible is clear. God is IMMORTAL. No one can touch him. The one who was killed was God's son whom God SENT from heaven. Galatians 4:4. Sons of God are ANGELS (Job 1:6). However, Jesus wasn't an angel while on earth. God transformed his spirit form into a human form. That is how they were able to kill Jesus. (Philippians 2:7) No, but he emptied himself and took a slave’s form and became human. Angels cannot be killed by humans. An angel who emptied himself of his spirit form and became a human can.
An angel cannot die for the sins of man. Only a spotless son of Adam could. Since ALL have sinned every human decended from Adam is disqualified. Which is why Jesus was born of a Virgin thereby bypassing the curse God placed on Adam's seed. Angels, cannot pay for the sin of man. Sinful man cannot pay for sinful mankind, hence God himself took on human form and paid the price. Which is why He is called Immanuel - God with us. ( not a created Angel with us). Every single false religion begins with denying the Diety of Christ.
@@matthewkinsey9044 : Jesus was a transformation of an angel son of God into Mary's womb. Philippians 2:7. One son of God (Jesus) can be the EQUAL of another son of God (Adam). Life for a life law at Exodus 21:23. (1 Corinthians 15:22) For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive.
It is impossible to stop sinning, even after one is saved. "He who says he is without sin is a LIAR, and the truth is not in him". No offense but it is a ridiculous question. Better to ask someone this: Ok so you are saved, do you keep the law 100% and now 100% without sin? Absurd. lol Thank God Jesus gave us the gift and made it clear: IT IS FINISHED.
I like and follow this site but I'm a little confused. So if your an adulter in past or a murder in the past your not going to heaven because I do believe king David is in heaven. Do not saved people get caught up in backsliding or addiction. I feel there is slide vagueness in this particular message
Very true........ESPESCIALLY THAT THIEF ON THE CROSS who asked Jesus to remember him. Jesus said TODAY youll be with me in paradise. Oh, but he was a thief /sinner like all of us sinners. Ya he didnt really get to go to heaven, rite??????
Not true, Anything that is not faith, is sin. So, therefore, that what you're saying is not true.I'm not saying that you live a life debauchery.But even as a believer we fall short of the glory of god
It's the blood that makes us sinless. Nothing that we do gets us to heaven. It's ALL WHAT JESUS DID. IT IS FINISHED. JESUS'S WORDS. You are not preaching truth. So when u go to heaven and face God your gonna tell Him ALL that you did to get to heaven? Or will you fall to your knees and THANK HIM FOR WHAT HE DID FOR YOU?
So what exactly does this mean? You say the answer is no, believers who live in sin will not be in heaven. Does this mean when you're saved you'll never sin again? Even preachers and bishops sin DAILY. Are they not the beacons of the church? If they sin DAILY that means they too live in sin. Who is truly going to heaven then?
Do not be deceived by DTBM's false teaching. You know you have eternal life when you believe in Christ. Believe the record that God gave us about his Son. 1 John 5 10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
Only the devil would tell you that you don't deserve heaven. The sin is in you .If we could get to heaven by not sinning then the law of Moses would have been enough . It is by the blood of Jesus. JESUS WAS NEEDED 1:48
VICTORY IN JESUS! (Acts 1, v. 8) "But you shall receive Power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you;" (Galatians 5, v. 16) "I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall Not fulfill the lust of the flesh. (1 John 3, v. 4-9) "Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. Whoever abides in Him does Not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever has been Born of God does Not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he can NOT sin, because he has been born of God." (1 Corinthians 15, v. 34) "Awake to righteousness, and do Not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame."
Paslm 24 states, First asks the question, WHO SHALL ASSEND UNTO THE HILL OF THE LORD. Then next verse gives the answer, HE THAT HAS CLEAN HANDS, AND A PURE HEART, WHO HAS NOT LIFTED HIS SOUL UNTO VANITY OR SWORN DECEITFULLY,. He shall assend to the hill of the LORD, he shall stand in the HOLY PLACE. This is the answer, If you are a born again Christain, you should be living your life more like Jesus every day, YOUR LORD AND YOUR SAVIOUR. Sin cannot enter into the Kingdom of GOD.

@@tongakhan230 Dear Sir, JESUS used this term to Nickadeamus, who came to him at night time, asking how he could be saved. Jesus answered him a d said ye must be born again, Nickadeamous answered him and said, how can a man enter his mother's womb a second time. JESUS answered him, YE must be born again, of the spirit of GOD. When ye give your life to Christ, you need to go and get under water baptism, This means you are completely submerged under the water, THis is like you have gone into the grave with your old life, and then arise up out of the water to begin your NEW LIFE IN CHRIST. You have rejected your sinful ways, You have taken the spirit of the Holy God, Now you have to follow Jesus, and keep the Commandments of a Holy God. JESUS stated that he had cine to fulfil the laws of God, He was the LORD OF THE SABBATH. Nowadays babies are taken to a church and baptised, with water sprinkling, This is not bibical, this was Brought into operation, by the Pagan Roman Emperor Constantine around 313 to around 338AD. Jesus was dedicated at the temple in Jerusalem as a baby, he was not baby sprinkled or baptised as a baby. JOHN THE BAPTIST BAPTISED JESUS IN THE RIVER JORDAN WHEN HE WAS AROUND 30 YEARS OF AGE, AND THE SPURIT OF GOD DECENDED UPON HIM IN THE SHAPE OF A DOVE. Hope this explanation helps you understand, being born again. Thank you for asking. Winifred Thompson. Northern Ireland.
@@winifredthompson465 : Quite a long quote and explanation which told me nothing precisely.. Just simply, what is a born again follower of Jesus? Jesus explained it. John 3:5 Jesus answered: “Most truly I say to you, unless anyone is born from WATER AND SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.
Dear Barnett. I thank you again for your amazing ministry. May I ask you a question related to this ? What if a Christian doesn't know that they can't be in the kingdom of God if they do all these things? You know, some of the churches don't teach these things. So what way they would be judge if they don't know they are sinning against God? Thanks
DTBM contradicts itself by saying a believer can't lose their salvation and then adds 'true' believer living in sin to the very end of their life will not go to heaven which means you can lose your salvation. Salvation is a free gift of God and it is not about you or how you live your life. What is born again is the spirit. Believers still have two natures. The new nature is the spirit that is born of God and does not sin and therefore is able to go to heaven. The old nature is still the flesh that you are in until you die. Do you believe the record that God gave about his Son? Does the record say anything about your performance or behavior or any other physical/flesh metrics? John 6:47 47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. 1 John 5 10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

You guys can’t work your way to heaven daily devotions is only being a good Christian. The Bible says to pray without ceasing. How many of your Christians do that.! None of us but I sure try and I sure try to witness and I and God gave me an special ability. I hate to lie. I hate it when others lie. I hate it when preachers don’t rightly divide the word. I am so annoyed with sin I still get angry. Anger is not righteous. Am I going to go to hell? No. I lost in my heart because Jesus said if we have already looked upon someone with Lesnar heart, we have committed a sin . Am I going to hell for that? No Jesus paid that price. If you think the blood of Christ did not cover all sin, why would you accept this? Preacher really needs to clarify this because you’re confusing and I’ve been in the Scriptures all my life. My dad was a pastor when I was born you know how much we went to church how many times we were sleeping on the pew when we were 456789 years old, but I was saved young I excepted Christ because I believed I believe he died on the cross. I believe he rose again I believe that he was the son of God. That was many years ago, but nothing has changed. We still sin as Christians if you think your little sins don’t count preacher. Those little bitty sins will send any that are not saved to hell!
But don't we all live in sin, to some degree, until we die. Does God put different degrees on sin, in his eyes are some sins worse than others, humans think this way. We feel as though a murderer is worse than a liar, yet God hates a liar. Sin means missing the mark. Every night before I go to sleep I ask God for forgiveness because I know I missed the mark, baptism washed my sins away one by putting me in contact with the blood of Christ, and allows God to hear my subsequent prayers seeking continued forgiveness
We will not escape inherent sin until we get our glorified body. We will not get a glorified body if we commit willful sin. For more on this topic, No King But Caesar & The Return Of The Melchisedec is available online at Advantage Books. Peace to all.
The wages of sin is death, so Jesus died to set us free from being slaves of sin. We now are commanded to deny self daily and put to death the sinful deeds of the flesh. (Romans 8, v. 13) "For if you live after the flesh, you shall die: but if you through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live." Acts 1, v. 8 "But you shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:" (Galatians 5, v. 16) "This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall Not fulfil the lust of the flesh." (1 John 3, v. 9) "Whosoever is born of God does Not commit sin; for his seed remains n him: and he can NOT sin, because he is born of God."
It is the willful sin that some do . They think oh well I can continue to have sex outside marriage and God will just look the other way. That kind of willfulness is very wrong.
I don’t know why he’s trying to confuse people because he is mixing people who are not saved, but may claim to be Christians with a person that’s born again that sins after that! Jesus said he was the way all we have to do is accept him and believe him in our hearts, and we believe that he’s a son of God he die was buried in residence rose again. The Bible says that he will for no reason, cast us out the sins of the world are paid for once we’ve accepted Christ. Our sins past present and future are paid for so this guy needs to go back to school I guess.
Try to find good people to follow, study the Bible with and then you run of these people who are adding scripture together that should not be together. He saved born-again believer is not sinless. Only Christ is sinless only Christ could die sinless we live under his sinlessness. Not under our own!
1 John 3:4 KJV Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. Vast majority of Christians are living in sin. Acts 17:30 KJV And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Wheather ignorantly Hebrews 10:26 KJV For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, Or willingly rejecting the Commandments of God, following the teachings of the Mother Church Catholicism Rev 17:5 who think to change God's Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday Dan 7:25.
I trust in Christ's shed blood for salvation not a cleaned up religious life or my own rightneousness for tells us in Isaiah all OUR righteousness is as filthy rags Lordship salvation is Biblical!!!
If we are “once saved always saved”, then who is God warning all throughout scripture? Does God really need to warn those who were really never in danger of losing salvation? Likewise, does God need to warn those who are not His and will never be saved anyway? What about those who take the mark of the beast? God warns those people that they are eternally lost if they do so. Doesn’t that mean that they could be saved if they don’t take the mark? What about those that hold grudges and refuse to forgive? God said our sins won’t be forgiven if we refuse to forgive others. I have a lot of issues with this doctrine because I can’t find it in the scriptures. I do, however, meet lots of Baptists who live sinful lives because all fear of God has been removed from their conscience by this horrible teaching.

@@Hannelore7 It's not a question of how bad it is. The question is can u do it in faith? Has God convicted you of this or has some person laid a guilt trip on you?
@@Hannelore7 I had two sisters approach me at church. They said they were trying to quit smoking. Each time they tried and failed they said they felt worse than before they tried to quit. I said quit trying to quit. Instead pray that God would deliver you from smoking. When God's people were in bondage, God sent a deliverer. Within a few days God delivered them, and they were through smoking. I have known people that weren't convicted (by God) of smoking and enjoyed it (to their own detriment) without it affecting their own faith. If it bothers you pray for Jesus to deliver you. When I got saved God delivered me from alcoholism... instantly. But He didn't deliver me from smoking pot. I think today He wanted to see if I wanted to be delivered. When I realized it was contrary to God for me to smoke pot, I asked God to deliver me and purposed in my heart I wanted to quit and then He delivered me. That was in 1998 and I haven't wanted it (either) since. God is greater than our sin and will happily separate you from anything contrary to His nature or character. We just have to ask. Peace in Jesus.

It is an invitation to better understand Heavenly Father's plan and follow Him. In the New Testament, the Greek word for perfect means complete, whole, or fully developed, having reached an end-goal. Jesus Christ invites us to strive for that kind of perfection. And He alone can help us to reach it-eventually.
please -- give us one clear scripture spoken by Jesus Christ that states our reward is living in the 3rd heaven. In 55 years of study I have found not one! Satan is the father of lies and going to heaven is his dream.
John 3;16 For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, shall not perish, but have ever lasting life. John 3;17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
His exposition on Esau make a great point. No person on this earth has a guarantee of salvation if they repent. Even sincerely with tears. Try it. Sincerely repent to God. Ask Him to help and deliver you. If you are not immediately delivered then God has refused your repentance and nothing you do from this point on will make any difference. If you can't stop sinning even after asking for God's help its because your are forsaken and God will not hear any plea you make going forward. The Bible and Christ are now forever useless to you. Your screams in Hell are all you have to look forward to now. You have God's word on it. Thanks for the teaching John!
@hypnotank Not my logic, I'm just reiterating the point Pastor John made about Easu seeking repentance and being refused. The Bible didn't say Esau "pretended" to repent or Esau "lied" about repenting. In fact the Bible qualifies the sincerity of Easu's repentance that it was " with tears". Easu meant it. God refused it. Since " all have sinned and fallen short" there isn't one person in this comment section to include yourself who is a greater or lesser sinner than Esau was. If God refused Easu 's sincere repentance... It's possible he can refuse anyone's. This is simple deduction. Roman's 9:15 " For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion." Of course the inverse of God's statement here would also necessarily be true and that fact is bourne out by God's dealing with Easu.
@@matthewkinsey9044 Esau did not seek repentance, he wept because of the realization he gave away his blessing trivially and learned there was no more for him. In fact, his "repentance" soon turned into rage, seeking murderous actions - further proving it was never genuine in the first place. Tears mean nothing if they aren't genuine or based off anger/sorrow/loss - which the bible is crystal clear about. If you have any doubt about Esaus character take a look at the rest of Genesis and it summarized in Hebrews 12:16-17 As for the rest of your post "If you are not immediately delivered then God has refused your repentance and nothing you do from this point on will make any difference" This is simply untrue and not biblical, there is nothing on the time duration let alone immediate deliverance - there is no perceivable way for one to ascertain they are delivered in that moment. Abraham, Moses, David, Paul, Peter and countless others sinned after encountering God either through Cloud, Christophany, prophet etc. The ENTIRE congregation of Israel sinning and repenting and being rescued by God is a theme throughout the entire Bible. Israel sinned after literally being led out of Egypt and through the wilderness after all the signs and miracles God did. "If you can't stop sinning even after asking for God's help its because your are forsaken and God will not hear any plea you make going forward" "The Bible and Christ are now forever useless to you." "Your screams in Hell are all you have to look forward to now." This is completely false, and there again is no scripture that says someone will never sin after asking for God's help. We are all sinners and born into it, it is the entire reason that Jesus shed his blood. Your message is bleak and it's unbiblical and you should remove it to be honest. Anyone believing on the Lord for their help, the rock and salvation "the sick" are the exact ones Christ came to rescue - you're stating a false gospel of works thinking anyone can be sinless like Christ while on this earth.
Your wrong friend and adding meaning where the Bible dosent. God's word says Esau sought repentance. You ( not the Bible) said he didn't The Bible says he sought that repentance with tears. You sir ( not the Bible) say those tears weren't real. You also falsely claim his repentance immediately turned to rage. Another fallacy you made up without even reading the text. The Bible never states when Esau repented. Only that he did. It would be odd that he repented BEFORE Jacob's deception considering he went to his father with the venison assuming he would receive the blessing. He immediately went to thoughts of murder when he found out he was decived. So he didn't repent before the deception and not immediately after. Obviously this occured during the 14 years Jacob was with Laban. Your just making stuff up or regurgitating other preaching you've heard. You have zero contextual evidence for either of your opinions you expressed ( his repentance or his sincerity). You NEED his tears and repentance to be false or YOU have a big doctrinal problem that touches your own salvation. The fact is, the Bible plain states Esau sought repentance and God rejected him. It just as plain in the Hebrew. I dont believe in sinless perfection this side of the grave and was speaking tongue and cheek about John's doctrinal position on repentance. You may need to adjust your sarcasm detector. I reject both legalism and antinomianism as well as attempts to couple the two like Pastor John does. Salvation by grace, through faith ALONE. No works are required before and non are required after like the post salvation works crowd here preach.
@@matthewkinsey9044 I did provide contextual evidence, we can disagree on Esau's tears, when I said he didn't repent I meant more that it was hollow as his tears were "bitter" not that he was upset for his sin and for spurning God's blessing, but for what he lost in this world. If you look at the sum of his life through Genesis and again referred to into Hebrews 12:16-17 it becomes apparent that Esau serves as a warning of who not to become like or allow in the congregation. The bible does say when he weeps and when he plans revenge , it is not far off from Issacs death as the blessings were given towards the end of his life. Genesis 27:41 "And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob." Of course I believe that God is sovereign and can bless who He wishes, but I also believe he is just and knows a persons true heart when approached sincerely. Now, aside from all of this around Esau which we can't agree and that's fine, at least we agree on the most important thing - that the only way to be truly saved is through faith and the work of Jesus.
After listen to this message I dont believe Ive ever considered suicide more than now. What hopeless message. If your not capable of hating your sin then Jesus is just going to kill you. Oh well, guess I wasnt chosen before the foundation of the world.
But both biblical Clearly true faithful Christian’s can. And have. Changed their mind. And went back to the world. This they weren’t a true believer to start either thing. Is a made up thing Not in the Bible Anywhere
I am a Christian and love God with all my heart, but I am also addicted to marijuana. I have been fighting this for a long time. Those who say you can't get addicted to that are just wrong. You can. I am. I have been begging, praying, pleading, crying, everything possible to be released from this. I've not made it longer than 3 days at any point. Please pray for me. I need to let this go. I'm broken every single time because I know I am disappointing and angering God. He has every part of my life, except this and I do not know why this won't stop.
Holy Spirit power is needed to overcome sin and partake of Jesus divine nature.
That's why Jesus said we must be born again, born of the Spirit.
See John 3, v. 1-8.
(Acts 1, v. 8)
"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you;"
(Galatians 5, v. 16)
"I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh."
In the name of Jesus, receive the power of His Spirit and be free.
@@jonathanisrael9714 Thank you!
If you want to break the addiction, you must do a few things. #1- Pray, go to church every time the doors are open, read the bible. #2 Look up the show The Chosen and watch every episode. #3 Separate yourself from people that are using and or selling weed AND remove them from your life, cut off all contact. #4- Find something, ANYTHING( that is not destructive) to keep your mind occupied the whole time, so you are not sitting around thinking about wanting to get high. Examples- Book reading for entertainment, camping, fishing, hunting, Golf, bicycling, motorcycles, backyard farming, video games, etc. #5. You can also and should have more than one interest to keep your mind occupied. # 6. Don't give up the fight. After a week it gets easier, after 30 days its even easier. The first week will be the hardest. But accept that its going to suck and face it head on. You are stronger with God than you think you are.
My prayers for you. Have lost a family member to addiction and I can't think of anything more difficult. Prayers that God frees you soon 🙏🙏🙏
Im 27 I started using marijuana when I was 14. It was a struggle for me too, even after I became born again. Don’t underestimate the power of the free will God has given you. “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.” (1 Cor. 10:13)
Go on a water fast for 3 days. Remember all the times as a kid you didn’t need marijuana to feel good or to have fun. Remember the freedom your conscience will feel towards God when you give it up. God bless
Exactly, that's why Jesus died on the cross because we sin just being in human flesh, those who truly trust in Christ are saved, otherwise, why did Jesus die for us. He thought of everyone of you before he died and rose again
Yes, Jesus came to set the captives free.
He gave us His blood, body, Spirit and Glory to partake in.
He makes us new when we repent and believe on Him as Lord of our life.
Now we can walk in newness of life and no longer be servants of sin.
Praise Jesus!
We are the body of Christ by grace!
Amen 🙏
Isn’t it wonderful that ONLY Jesus will judge us…..ONLY HIM🙏🙏🙏🙏
Its frightening. Only him can judge us the harshest because he had a perfect life.
And that He will....turn from Sin..Habitual Sin..Sinful lifestyle!!.... Remember, it's not about the perfection of your walk ... but the direction!!...

It’s an incredibly evil world now. It’s a huge undertaking to take Christ into your life; something you are not really equipped to understand when you are young. Sin is inevitable due to our very nature; and for some Christians persistent and grave sin is a reality. It is imperative that one seeks forgiveness AND repents (resolve to change our ways) before it’s too late. The future for this world is utterly terrifying and my hope is that God will intervene very very soon to deliver his children by His Son.
I have struggled for years with several things smoking cigarettes being my biggest vice.. my friend quit and I ask her how.. she said you gotta want to quit more than you want to smoke… the way I heard it is you have to love God more than the sin that so easily besets us… so I have been fighting it the urge to go buy some. The Holy Spirit is teaching me how to rely more on Him. And although I feel like it’s going to kill me at times it doesn’t. Also I think of the treasure that God has for me if the enemy is trying so hard to keep me in bondage… may we all be over-comers by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony….fight the good fight of faith it’s the only one worth fighting…
Lord have Mercy, how many children teens and adults in the Church who regularly look at porn, and you never hear preaching on it, keep with repentance and ask the Lord for help, and hate your sin 🙏🏻
We are all sinners. We are not perfect. We make mistakes. And we will be sinners right to the end. We will go to heaven so long as we have embraced Jesus as our saviour. Any other belief would make Jesus’s death on the cross null and void. Even Paul bemoaned the fact that he continued to sin even while saved.
We will be sinners right til the end? Yeah that's not scriptural whatsoever. The Bible is clear that the unrighteous will not inherit God's kingdom. Scripture teaches that there remains no more sacrifice for sins if we go on willfully sinning after coming to the knowledge of the truth. If you're born again you are a new creation and can do all things through Christ...this includes living righteously.

When Paul wrote his part of the Bible, he admitted he occasionally sinned though he didn’t want to. Was he not saved? Salvation is through faith.
Many thought Paul was still a sinner, but what did He say?
(1 Corinthians 4, v. 4)
"For I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord."
When he noticed his flesh manifesting things he did NOT choose or agree with he said it is no longer I who sin.
Those choosing to sin or agreeing with sin are guilty of sin.
@@jonathanisrael9714 “Choose” is a difficult term to qualify. Obviously when he sinned, no one forced him to do that. His own fallen flesh led him to sin. So yes, he did choose to sin. But he did so against his true will.
@@sechrima9998Nope, this is what Paul said about sin...
(1 Corinthians 15, v. 34)
"Awake to righteousness, and do Not sin; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame."
(1 John 3, v. 3-9)
"3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth Not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God."
Jesus said sin no more. Jesus said you must be born again. (John 3, v. 1-8)
(Acts 1, v. 8)
"But ye shall receive
Power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:"
(Galatians 5, v. 16)
"This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall Not fulfil the lust of the flesh."
Being saved is a future expectation. People who are saved do not die. People are still dying.
(Matthew 24:13) But the one who has endured to the end will be saved.
This however, is talking about survivors of the coming great war. Rev 7:9,10,14.
Still, it shows that being saved is in the future.
The unrighteous will not inherit God's kingdom. We are saved by grace through faith but we are also to do as Jesus commands of us. Jesus commands us to cut the sin out and abide otherwise we can wither up and will be cast into fire. Once saved always saved isn't scriptural.
I don't know how we can be perfect!!!
I don't do what I should do and I do what I shouldn't do!!!
He says be perfect as I am perfect. If it wasn’t possible He would not have told us to… Walk in the spirit and we won’t fulfill the things of the flesh… We can’t do it in our own strength but with Christ all things are possible… don’t get complacent with sin fight it with all you got… you will be glad you did when you stand in front of Him you will know He was the only thing that ever mattered! Much love…
@@deelyons9997
Romans 3:23-24 23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins
@@deelyons9997
It is an invitation to better understand Heavenly Father's plan and follow Him. In the New Testament, the Greek word for perfect means complete, whole, or fully developed, having reached an end-goal. Jesus Christ invites us to strive for that kind of perfection. And He alone can help us to reach it-eventually.
2 Corinthians 5:21
We are still in the dispensation of Grace, that means Gods forgiveness is for one and all.
If you fall passionately in love with your Creator, and what He has done for you, you will eventually find yourself in a place that sin will disgust you, because of what Jesus Christ has done for you.
No this is a false teaching. Scripture is clear that there remains no more sacrifice for sins if we go on willfully sinning after coming to the knowledge of the truth. The Bible teaches that many can and will fall completely away from the faith to never come back again. Jesus said ABIDE or wither up...to wither up implies you weren't withered up before, you were still on the vine bearing good fruit. We are commanded to endure until the end, not 5 minutes.
@robertboutin6232 The willful sin is that of rejecting Christ and, instead, going back to a system of animal sacrifices, or really anything other than believing in Christ. Jesus
meaning they won’t find God’s forgiveness in animal sacrifices because the Perfect Sacrifice (Jesus) is the ONLY sacrifice of Christ.
You have to understand that purpose of the letter to understand the context of each chapter.
@@GodlySorrow that's not what it's teaching. Stop pretending to be a guru by manipulating scripture to give yourself an excuse to keep on sinning. Unbelievable...

@@GodlySorrow you're quite the manipulator. Works don't save us. Jesus does. Works are evidence that we are following Jesus as faith without works is dead. Also, works and abiding aren't the same. I can sit here motionless and resist sin. Works is helping your neighbor dig a well then witnessing later. You calvinists always love to distort those two. Jesus commands to cut the sin out or enter hell with it. Did you skip that part? Jesus commands us to abide otherwise we can wither up. To wither up implies you weren't withered up before, you were still on the vine bearing good fruit. Your name can be blotted from the book of life. The lukewarm will be spat out. The unrighteous will not inherit God's kingdom. You skipped all those parts didn't you? You push your osas heresy because you wish to remain in your sin. That's serving two masters. That's the broad road. You will be spat out. Repent false teacher.
Modern day believers seem to NOT understand what it means to 'believe' -- how can you trust what you do not know. Many know about Jesus. Many think they love him. But often they do not -- because they consistently choose to live in a way they KNOW (or should know) that HE cannot tolerate. We all choose. And will spend eternity with that choice.
Amen to your message truth is this is so many I know that regard themselves as saved breaks my heart. If our Christianity costs us nothing it's worth nothing. How very sad for them. Oh how I love the truth of God's Word.

Philippians 3
3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
They are accepted as they are. For the Love we have for Jesus we willing strive to be like him.
Its impossible to be sinless. Jesus agreed that is impossible, and said what is impossible for humans, its possible for God. He went on the cross because its impossible. You could say that you can repent but you will still sin when you slip or unknowingly. Bible says that every sin is willful. I'm so confused, guilt and shame makes me feel horrible, I don't know what is sin and what is not. Will people who smoke cigars go to hell? Who overeat? Who masturbate? Who looks at women? Its impossible for a man to look at woman he likes and not feel anything, especially for a single man. Everyone will end up in hell.
No, the Bible does not say that every sin is willful. There is a difference between willful sin and inherent sin. This is why Jesus said take up your cross daily. Paul said to Corinth, "I protest by your rejoicing, I die daily." That is to crucify the old man or the sinful nature. We will not escape inherent sin until we get our glorified body. We will not get a glorified body if we commit willful sin.

Are you saying you've never, ever sinned after becoming a believer? These passages reflect our sinless spiritual standing in Christ who is seated in Heaven with the Father, however as we labor against the flesh on this side of Heaven, we are still living in our mortal bodies and will sin in deed or thought. Romans 12 reminds us that we can be transformed (action, verb) by submitting our wills over as we strive to live the life that Christ has placed IN US by His Holy Spirit.

Sadly, most claiming faith in Jesus do not agree so they teach contrary saying
'you will sin.'

"IF"?

And IF anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous."

(Matthew 5, v. 30), Jesus said, "And IF your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell."

🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠Please 🙏🏻pray for salvation for Chris, Pete and Nick who no longer believes in Jesus 😢
Your free will doesn’t stop when one is born again, you can depart from the faith, that’s biblical
NO SIN IS ALLOWED.
So then is John 3:16 of no effect? I have a deep rooted problem which has been with me for many, many years! I have prayed about it for many years. I still always thought I would go to heaven. I hate my sin but I feel already condemned after watching this. Someone please tell me what I really need to understand!
Thank you KING JESUS for your scripture and your rules on how to live this life thank you for the time to change and plant your seed of truth in my children to give them the faith of your people and be able to be forgiven and not have to live life like animals thank you ABBA 🙏😘
Thank you so much for preaching what we need to hear, not what we may want to hear, what most pastors refuse to preach.
God is the Master. God who loved one take their souls in heaven. God who hate one take into hell. All Gods choice.
Judgement written by God. God already wrote judgement who enters in heaven who punished in hell
@@UserId-ir4gq most likely..
Yes. Everyone still sins by the time they are about to die. So why did God die on the cross if nobody can quit sinning. If you don’t sin , then you’re a liar.
Before you got saved you didn’t have a Savior to forgive you of your sins, past, present and future. After you get saved you have a Savior to forgive you 😇
🦢🦢🦢🦢🦢🦢🦢HOW TO BE SAVED, BIBLICALLY.
There Is only one God, in three persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. ONE God.
Humans are ONE person ( in three parts) The body, soul and spirit. Three parts, ONE person.
The Bible says that we are all sinners.
As it is written: There is none righteous , no not one. Romans 3:10
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.Romans 3:23
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags. Isaiah 64:6
For the wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23 (The word death in this verse means eternal separation from God in hell).
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Isaiah 1:18
Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures and that He was buried and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures. 1Corinthians 15:3-8
In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:14
For by grace ye are saved, through faith; and not of yourselves.
It is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
I do not frustrate the grace of God, for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. Galatians 2:21
Realize that you are a hopeless sinner and trust in Jesus shed blood on the cross to pay for your sins.
The moment you trust in Jesus and only Jesus, you are saved.
We will not escape inherent sin until we get our glorified body. We will not get a glorified body if we commit willful sin.

We kept signing before being born again. Now that we are new creations we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. This includes living righteously
Please pray for me and my husband!!! I trust in The Lord with ALL my soul, I have newly fully given all my faith and love and life to the Lird and still I am struggling with some sinfulness that I cannot stand!!! My flesh disgusts me , Lord help me and my family overcome these things I pray in Jesus Mighty name, Amen!!
What bothers me is the ppl that say jesus died for our sins and you just ask for forgiveness and you go to heaven,,and they keep sinning everyday
The problem is even yt preachers become so famous they lose the reason why they called...and follow own ideas....
lets stick to the real truth of the bible
GOD SO LOVED EACH AND EVERY HUMAN BEING HE SEND JESUS-SO THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL BE SAVED- So we call upon Your name Lord, help us in our weakness. 🙏🏻
You Must Repent and Turn From SIN.
You’ll never be 100% sin free. We’re human. All we can do is try to not sin.
@@CagedSUPERMAN In the cursed flesh we will sin, but in the Spirit we can stop sinning.
@@CagedSUPERMANnot true. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us..this includes living righteously. The unrighteous will not inherit God's kingdom.
The first step is walk towards God, walk with God, and then the repentance doesn't seem like it is just you. When you walk with God, we still feel alone sometimes but we know God is always with us and that is very helpful. When we prefer the light, we won't like the dark....it isn't a one time decision, it isn't a one moment victory, our victor is eternal life with Christ but we have our daily Earthly victory filled with the Holy Spirit.
@@robertboutin6232 So you've stopped sinning completely and have become perfect? That's amazing!
Examination of yourself!!! Examination of myself!!!!!!!. Amen.
Wow. Fantastic teaching.
John, thank you for speaking Truth.
It's all about Heaven and Earth uniting together in the same space dimension. Our new space neighbours are already committed to righteousness and we will need to be too. As Wormwood, 'The Destroyer', draws nearer, our lives will change dramatically. Gravity will get progressively heavier. It will be more heavier for some than others...but the accurate teaching of Jesus Christ will be our lifeline...for the living, and the dead in Jesus.
SUPERB
You cannot buy your way into heaven! You cannot be sunless after excepting Christ. You are a new creation because you are an in his family. He knew we were going to sin before the foundation of earth. He knew we were going to sin after we were said, he paid for all of those sin!
Deep heartfelt gratitude for Holy Spirit leading me here & showing yet another huge hole in my repentence work. I pay daily to be shown that which i have forgotten to confess & repent. Spirit purposed your talk for me. I have prayed, repented. Im certain im not done yet as a retured licensed clinical private practice counselor trained by the Holy Spirit, not the government, I KNOW SATANS CHIEF BATTLEFIELD IS THE MIND. Thoughts now & then count. Thoughts become beliefs become nesting narratives for how we live our lives. My profession is among the worst, even with Blessings I have always been given. And chastening, Holy One adores me, a peculiar one greatly refined in the fires of my corrected and now broken & humbled life. That is staus well appreciated. Igive Him praise everyday throughout the day. I will never show enough gratitude. God Bless you, yours and my family.
❤ 🙏 🤲 ✝️ 🔥
Remember, not one fire i went through was alone! HALLELUJAH!
Please warn of 3 days of darkness. As auroras increase & Passover is near, we can still warn others to be ready. AMEN.
Anyone who accepted the work on the cross goes to heaven. It's the rewards one will receive are based on our works. (Judgement seat of Christ)
Go to heaven and do what may we ask? Just float around for all eternity?
What about :
(Matthew 5:5) “Happy are the mild-tempered, since they will INHERIT THE EARTH.
If you accept Jesus then turn back to sin to never repent again then you arent going to heaven. The unrighteous will not inherit God's kingdom
@@robertboutin6232 : Inheriting God's Kingdom and inheriting the earth are two separate inheritances.
One group become co-rulers with Christ in heaven (Rev 5:9,10). The others live UNDER this rule on earth. Everlasting life is for humans living on earth.
(Psalm 37:29) The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it.
@@tongakhan230 false teacher. The unrighteous don't inherit anything, they get cast into eternal fire. You also completely missed the point. This was about salvation. Unrepentant do not inherit everlasting life. Once saved always saved isnt scriptural.
@@robertboutin6232 : Let us read what the Bible promises.
(Acts 24:15) And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of BOTH the righteous and the unrighteous.
The unrighteous get a new prospect to qualify for everlasting life. How? By they being resurrected.
Remember the man who was dying next to Jesus. Jesus promised him a life in paradise. How can that be possible when only those who exercise faith in Jesus ransom sacrifice qualify for everlasting life. John 3:16. Jesus was not dead yet.
Moses, David too have to do so.
Unrepentant ones of course, have no future. Psalms 37:9-11.
Chillout😂😂😂i smoke as well and always have....Jesus has visited me 3 times....literally...He dosent worry about weed...u have a big conscience and that is good...u can slowly stop weed...zero doubt in Jesus and His goodness is the key....He is pure love....not petty at all
Be sober minded.
(1 Peter 5, v. 8)
"Be Sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour."
Christians are NEVER sinfree but we are justified by our Lord Jesus, Christians are never sinless either, but sin sensitive as a Christian is filled with more and more Holy Spirit and matures spiritually.
What Christian does not sin DAILY?! ONLY CHRIST didnt. That is why HE ALONE is the Saviour - the LAMB of God. I challenge ANYONE to PROVE that he is absolutely SINLESS daily in THOUGHT, MOTIVE, INTENT and BEHAVIOUR. "If ANY man say that he hath NO SIN he DECEIVETH HIMSELF and the TRUTH is NOT in him" - I John 1:8. What makes anyone assume that THEIR sins are NOT AS BAD as his brother's?! Time to remove that "beam in your own eye"!
I also do believe if your saved your god filled contiouse slowly works on you to improve your life as a Christian but you as a impure human cant outrun sin because your born into it.
That's what the Bible says. We're justified when we believe then sanctified over time (Romans 8). You can't fill old wine skins with new wine. A new believer is going to have sins that need to be dealt with. It's not going to happen overnight. It's a process.
Well then we're all going to hell. Those who have been indulged in sexual sin their entire lives since age 14 and came to know God and God changed them still fall to sexual sin. And stay there. So the truth is. If you don't overcome sin you go to hell. And I did over come sin for a period of time because of the holy Spirit but I fell back to sin and grieved it until its power was quenched and now I've been overcome by sin. According to the bible that means we are lost. And will perish. And be blotted out of the book of life.
"The teaching of a secret pretribulation rapture is a doctrine that never existed before 1830. Did the pretribulation rapture come into existence by a careful exegesis of Scripture? No. The first person to teach the doctrine was young woman named Margaret Macdonald. Margaret was not a theologian or Bible expositor but was a prophetess in the Irvingite sect (the Catholic Apostolic Church).
Christian journalist Dave MacPherson has written a book on the subject of the origin of the pre-tribulation rapture. He writes: “We have seen that a young Scottish lassie named Margaret Macdonald had a private revelation in Port Glasgow, Scotland, in the early part of 1830 that a select group of Christians would be caught up to meet Christ in the air before the days of Antichrist.”
The first person to preach that doctrine was Paul.
Pre trib isn't scriptural it's a false teaching for those with itchy ears
@@matthewkinsey9044Paul never taught pre trib
@robertboutin6232 Yes he did.
Your turn.
@@matthewkinsey9044 saints are caught up after the tribulation. This is when those ALIVE AND REMAINING saints are caught up at Jesus' second coming. Saints are changed in the twinkling of an eye at the last trump...the last trump isn't before the tribulation. The antichrist wars with the saints DURING the tribulation. Jesus said he's returning AFTER the tribulation, not before. Saints aren't appointed to wrath which occurs AFTER the tribulation. Pre trib isn't scriptural it's a lie from the 1700s that you fell for because you have itchy ears and don't want to endure anything. Sad.
SUCH AN IMPORTANT TEACHING!!!!!!!!!
A lot of Christians believe that all their sins (past, present and future) are forgiven once they accept Jesus as their personal Saviour and what he did on the cross. Therefore they can live in sin because of their belief. This is simply not true. Sins you commit in the future are not forgiven before they occur.
NDianaJones-kk9bg It depends on the gravity of the sins.
@@aussierob7177That means the work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross is not enough - because Jesus has paid only for the sins before someone is born again - for all sins after the re-birth someone must ask again for forgiveness and if sins are to severe these sins will not be forgiven and a child of God together with the Holy Spirit will go into hell forever??
Good luck to you looking at a woman lustfully 3 minutes before you get hit by a truck. On a sin scale it's the same as sleeping with her
@@aussierob7177Where is this in the Bible? Jesus died for all sins. Trust the Holy Spirit to sanctify you, but don’t kid yourself that you can be free of all sin while still in your fallen flesh.
Future sins don't exist. You have a choice. We will not escape inherent sin until we get our glorified body. We will not get a glorified body if we commit willful sin.

Those who endure TO THE END / those who FINISH THE RACE will see Heaven.
It would be a different gospel because you do not trust and believe in Jesus work on the cross alone - but must add own works of endurance to be finally really saved. Read Letter to Galatians - such gospel of works is condemned.
@@martinschneeberg1653 Works do not save us. Works do condemn us. We will not escape inherent sin until we get our glorified body. We will not get a glorified body if we commit willful sin.

Matthew 24:13 is about those who endure to the end will be saved. It is saved from dying in the coming clean up war. See Revelation 7:9,10,14.
(Matthew 5:5) “Happy are the mild-tempered, since they will INHERIT THE EARTH.
@@tongakhan230 Mt 24.13 and particular next 14 speaks NOT about Christians because they are raptured before the 7 years tribulation time will start - they speak about Gentiles and Jews in the 7 years tribulation time.
@@martinschneeberg1653 : What is this rapture?
Jesus' anointed followers joining Jesus in heaven has nothing to do with those surviving to live on earth.
John 14:3 Also, if I go my way and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will RECEIVE YOU HOME TO MYSELF, so that where I AM YOU ALSO MAY BE.
Survivors who endure to the end will form the New Earth. They logically will not be in heaven.
(Psalm 37:9-11) For evil men will be done away with, But those hoping in Jehovah will possess the earth. 10 Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more; You will look at where they were, And they will not be there. 11 But the MEEK WILL POSSESS THE EARTH, And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.
I honestly think the word "All" applies to me when I read "All have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God." Heaven is sin free. "My Kingdom is of the next world, not this one." For me this clearly says I am always a sinner in this world. But most think Jesus was wrong and they try to build "the next world" in this one. Just my opinion. No better than yours.
It is one thing to try to make this a better place by not sinning as you understand sin. But, just for me, to think I can be sin free in this world is risking my soul. Judgment is in the next life, not yours to make in this life to my understanding. Perhaps I'm wrong and a person can judge themselves in this life and let God know they are going to Heaven because they want to that is that. I suspect that is God's decision and not mine. Others on this list say the same thing in different words.
"Can a true Christian live in sin and still go to heaven" is an oxymoron. The answer is not yes or no. The answer is that if any person is practicing sinning they are not a true Christian. 1John 3:9 and Luke 9:23
Let us not be fooled! We do not want to be one of those who will be turned away on that day when men stand before God. The way is narrow, and the road is straight, and FEW be that find it.
Matt 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Verse 22 MANY will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Verse 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Matt 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and FEW there be that find it.
Our sin has set us all on the road to hell and no amount of good will fix the sin we have done. We have ALL sinned. It is not about the type of sin or how much sin. It is about the fact that we have sinned. For that reason we all need a Savior.
If we want forgiveness for our sin and peace with God. If we want to escape eternal hell. If we want to go to heaven we must understand the following. We DO NOT get saved (go to heaven), get right with God, forgiven, by being good, by being religious, by just believing in God, by praying a prayer, being baptized, asking or accepting Jesus into our hearts, accepting Jesus as our personal Saviour, confessing our sins, joining a church, cleaning up our lives, doing penance, taking the bread and the wine, or doing all these things accumulative.
Salvation is a gift that is given to those who repent and come to faith. Eph. 2:8,9
Salvation takes repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, Acts 20:21. testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
Make no mistake. We cannot be a friend of Christ and remain a rebel against God and unless we repent we remain a rebel. The word repent, from the Greek word “metanoia”, means a change of mind or direction.
God is not receiving those who almost or kind of repents. It is like the word About-face which is a 180 degree turn. We turn from not wanting God fully in our lives to willfully surrendering to Him to lead our lives.
When any person comes to the place where they are broken over their sin toward God to the point that they want to get right with God no matter what it will cost them they are in a state/spirit of repentance toward God. Luke 14:33 Luke 14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. The repentant heart would walk away from anything or any one to get right with God.
We then take that willing repentant heart we have towards God and place it on the Lord Jesus Christ as Lord and Master, because He paid the price for our sin, and that becomes faith. At that moment God’s grace through Christ is freely applied to us and we are born again, saved from eternal hell and sealed by the Spirit so that we will never again return to the practice of sinning. 1John 3:9,10.
Our first command after salvation is to be baptized.
Repentance of sin is the result of the new birth/salvation and will be part of the sanctification process and our new life with the Lord Jesus Christ, Eph 2:10. While we may sin from time to time after salvation it will never again be our practice 2Cor. 5:17, 1John 3:9,10.
John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
REV. 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
It all boils down to are we sorry/broken enough over our sins against God and do we want to get our hearts right with Him or not. Let us be sure that tomorrow does not belong to us.
Exactly. Well said.
If narrow is the path where “few find it,” and broad is the road” which leads to destruction,” why would our God become the most important martyr in all the world in the name of “saving sinners” just to cast people into hell that didn’t “behave holy enough?”
Even if my own children shunned me as their Father (not saying I’m like God because I’m not), would I feed them to my enemies? Of course not…
My heart, in the name of unconditional love, would forever be open to my children returning home…
I struggle with how the Bible speaks of hope and condemnation in the same breath.
God became a martyr? Sounds like an oxymoron.
God SENT his son and it is Jesus who died.
God cannot die.
(Habakkuk 1:12) Are you not from everlasting, O Jehovah? O my God, my Holy One, you do not die.

MARTYR definition:
noun:
a person who is killed because of their religious or other beliefs.
"saints, martyrs, and witnesses to the faith"
verb:
kill (someone) because of their beliefs.
"she was martyred for her faith"
Jesus (God in the flesh) was killed for starting his church (he became a martyr)…
@@Chaddae52 : The Bible is clear. God is IMMORTAL. No one can touch him. The one who was killed was God's son whom God SENT from heaven. Galatians 4:4.
Sons of God are ANGELS (Job 1:6).
However, Jesus wasn't an angel while on earth. God transformed his spirit form into a human form. That is how they were able to kill Jesus.
(Philippians 2:7) No, but he emptied himself and took a slave’s form and became human.
Angels cannot be killed by humans. An angel who emptied himself of his spirit form and became a human can.
An angel cannot die for the sins of man. Only a spotless son of Adam could. Since ALL have sinned every human decended from Adam is disqualified.
Which is why Jesus was born of a Virgin thereby bypassing the curse God placed on Adam's seed.
Angels, cannot pay for the sin of man. Sinful man cannot pay for sinful mankind, hence God himself took on human form and paid the price.
Which is why He is called Immanuel - God with us. ( not a created Angel with us).
Every single false religion begins with denying the Diety of Christ.
@@matthewkinsey9044 : Jesus was a transformation of an angel son of God into Mary's womb. Philippians 2:7.
One son of God (Jesus) can be the EQUAL of another son of God (Adam).
Life for a life law at Exodus 21:23.
(1 Corinthians 15:22) For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive.
I realised that driving stops me from being perfect cos the other drivers 😩😩😩😩
It is impossible to stop sinning, even after one is saved.
"He who says he is without sin is a LIAR, and the truth is not in him".
No offense but it is a ridiculous question. Better to ask someone this: Ok so you are saved, do you keep the law 100% and now 100% without sin?
Absurd. lol
Thank God Jesus gave us the gift and made it clear: IT IS FINISHED.
I like and follow this site but I'm a little confused. So if your an adulter in past or a murder in the past your not going to heaven because I do believe king David is in heaven. Do not saved people get caught up in backsliding or addiction. I feel there is slide vagueness in this particular message
Constant ads every few minutes makes it so difficult to listen.
Very true........ESPESCIALLY THAT THIEF ON THE CROSS who asked Jesus to remember him. Jesus said TODAY youll be with me in paradise. Oh, but he was a thief /sinner like all of us sinners. Ya he didnt really get to go to heaven, rite??????
The thief would have stopped stealing had he lived
Not true, Anything that is not faith, is sin. So, therefore, that what you're saying is not true.I'm not saying that you live a life debauchery.But even as a believer we fall short of the glory of god
So I've still got to follow the 10 commandments to perfection to get to heaven?????
I'm screwed....
It's the blood that makes us sinless. Nothing that we do gets us to heaven. It's ALL WHAT JESUS DID. IT IS FINISHED. JESUS'S WORDS. You are not preaching truth. So when u go to heaven and face God your gonna tell Him ALL that you did to get to heaven? Or will you fall to your knees and THANK HIM FOR WHAT HE DID FOR YOU?
So what exactly does this mean? You say the answer is no, believers who live in sin will not be in heaven. Does this mean when you're saved you'll never sin again? Even preachers and bishops sin DAILY. Are they not the beacons of the church? If they sin DAILY that means they too live in sin. Who is truly going to heaven then?
Do not be deceived by DTBM's false teaching. You know you have eternal life when you believe in Christ. Believe the record that God gave us about his Son.
1 John 5
10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
There seems to be more “Christians” who know ABOUT Jesus than those who truly KNOW Jesus. Unfortunately, saying the sinners prayer isn’t enough.
@@patrickian8843 Your comments come across as very prideful. God says to love your neighbor. You need to work on that.
No. A believer can't live in sin and still be resurrected in the first resurrection if the sins are willful. Hebrews 10:26-29 explains.
Only the devil would tell you that you don't deserve heaven. The sin is in you .If we could get to heaven by not sinning then the law of Moses would have been enough
. It is by the blood of Jesus. JESUS WAS NEEDED 1:48
VICTORY IN JESUS!

"But you shall receive
Power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you;"
(Galatians 5, v. 16)
"I say then: Walk in the
Spirit, and you shall Not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

"Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. Whoever abides in Him does Not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.
Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever has been Born of God does Not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he can NOT sin, because he has been born of God."
(1 Corinthians 15, v. 34)
"Awake to
righteousness, and do Not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame."
Wow! So he’s saying he hasn’t sinned since accepting Christ? Hubris. Look it up.

People keep using the term born again. What does it mean? Any idea?
@@tongakhan230 Dear Sir, JESUS used this term to Nickadeamus, who came to him at night time, asking how he could be saved. Jesus answered him a d said ye must be born again, Nickadeamous answered him and said, how can a man enter his mother's womb a second time. JESUS answered him, YE must be born again, of the spirit of GOD. When ye give your life to Christ, you need to go and get under water baptism, This means you are completely submerged under the water, THis is like you have gone into the grave with your old life, and then arise up out of the water to begin your NEW LIFE IN CHRIST. You have rejected your sinful ways, You have taken the spirit of the Holy God, Now you have to follow Jesus, and keep the Commandments of a Holy God. JESUS stated that he had cine to fulfil the laws of God, He was the LORD OF THE SABBATH. Nowadays babies are taken to a church and baptised, with water sprinkling, This is not bibical, this was Brought into operation, by the Pagan Roman Emperor Constantine around 313 to around 338AD. Jesus was dedicated at the temple in Jerusalem as a baby, he was not baby sprinkled or baptised as a baby. JOHN THE BAPTIST BAPTISED JESUS IN THE RIVER JORDAN WHEN HE WAS AROUND 30 YEARS OF AGE, AND THE SPURIT OF GOD DECENDED UPON HIM IN THE SHAPE OF A DOVE. Hope this explanation helps you understand, being born again. Thank you for asking. Winifred Thompson. Northern Ireland.
@@winifredthompson465 : Quite a long quote and explanation which told me nothing precisely..

Dear Barnett. I thank you again for your amazing ministry.
May I ask you a question related to this ? What if a Christian doesn't know that they can't be in the kingdom of God if they do all these things? You know, some of the churches don't teach these things. So what way they would be judge if they don't know they are sinning against God?
Thanks
DTBM contradicts itself by saying a believer can't lose their salvation and then adds 'true' believer living in sin to the very end of their life will not go to heaven which means you can lose your salvation. Salvation is a free gift of God and it is not about you or how you live your life. What is born again is the spirit. Believers still have two natures. The new nature is the spirit that is born of God and does not sin and therefore is able to go to heaven. The old nature is still the flesh that you are in until you die.
Do you believe the record that God gave about his Son? Does the record say anything about your performance or behavior or any other physical/flesh metrics?
John 6:47
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
1 John 5
10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
By the skin of their teeth they got to Heaven… can’t remember the exact verse of this, can you elaborate on this?
The inhabitants of earth are not aware of how much serious is what is beginning to happen in heaven.😮😳😲
JWs do. That is why they are fulfilling Matthew 24:14.
@@tongakhan230JW’s are false. They say Jesus already returned, that is a lie. The Bible says every eye will see Him. Since every eye did NOT see him you are in a false cult.
@@jeffc5474 : Please explain how every eye, which means the over 8 billion multiplied by 2, will see Jesus?
Just as an example. Say Jesus comes down in Canberra. How will people in other parts of Australasia see Jesus? How about the whole world?
You guys can’t work your way to heaven daily devotions is only being a good Christian. The Bible says to pray without ceasing. How many of your Christians do that.! None of us but I sure try and I sure try to witness and I and God gave me an special ability. I hate to lie. I hate it when others lie. I hate it when preachers don’t rightly divide the word. I am so annoyed with sin I still get angry. Anger is not righteous. Am I going to go to hell? No. I lost in my heart because Jesus said if we have already looked upon someone with Lesnar heart, we have committed a sin . Am I going to hell for that? No Jesus paid that price. If you think the blood of Christ did not cover all sin, why would you accept this? Preacher really needs to clarify this because you’re confusing and I’ve been in the Scriptures all my life. My dad was a pastor when I was born you know how much we went to church how many times we were sleeping on the pew when we were 456789 years old, but I was saved young I excepted Christ because I believed I believe he died on the cross. I believe he rose again I believe that he was the son of God. That was many years ago, but nothing has changed. We still sin as Christians if you think your little sins don’t count preacher. Those little bitty sins will send any that are not saved to hell!
But don't we all live in sin, to some degree, until we die. Does God put different degrees on sin, in his eyes are some sins worse than others, humans think this way. We feel as though a murderer is worse than a liar, yet God hates a liar. Sin means missing the mark. Every night before I go to sleep I ask God for forgiveness because I know I missed the mark, baptism washed my sins away one by putting me in contact with the blood of Christ, and allows God to hear my subsequent prayers seeking continued forgiveness
We will not escape inherent sin until we get our glorified body. We will not get a glorified body if we commit willful sin.

The wages of sin is death, so Jesus died to set us free from being slaves of sin. We now are commanded to deny self daily and put to death the sinful deeds of the flesh.
(Romans 8, v. 13)
"For if you live after the flesh, you shall die: but if you through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live."
Acts 1, v. 8
"But you shall receive
power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:"
(Galatians 5, v. 16)
"This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall Not fulfil the lust of the flesh."
(1 John 3, v. 9)
"Whosoever is born of God does Not commit sin; for his seed remains n him: and he can NOT sin, because he is born of God."
It is the willful sin that some do . They think oh well I can continue to have sex outside marriage and God will just look the other way. That kind of willfulness is very wrong.
I don’t know why he’s trying to confuse people because he is mixing people who are not saved, but may claim to be Christians with a person that’s born again that sins after that! Jesus said he was the way all we have to do is accept him and believe him in our hearts, and we believe that he’s a son of God he die was buried in residence rose again. The Bible says that he will for no reason, cast us out the sins of the world are paid for once we’ve accepted Christ. Our sins past present and future are paid for so this guy needs to go back to school I guess.
Try to find good people to follow, study the Bible with and then you run of these people who are adding scripture together that should not be together. He saved born-again believer is not sinless. Only Christ is sinless only Christ could die sinless we live under his sinlessness. Not under our own!
1 John 3:4 KJV
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Vast majority of Christians are living in sin.
Acts 17:30 KJV
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
Wheather ignorantly
Hebrews 10:26 KJV
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Or willingly rejecting the Commandments of God, following the teachings of the Mother Church Catholicism Rev 17:5 who think to change God's Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday Dan 7:25.
I trust in Christ's shed blood for salvation not a cleaned up religious life or my own rightneousness for tells us in Isaiah all OUR righteousness is as filthy rags Lordship salvation is Biblical!!!
Meant at end of my comment to type Lorship salvation isn't biblical!!
If we are “once saved always saved”, then who is God warning all throughout scripture? Does God really need to warn those who were really never in danger of losing salvation? Likewise, does God need to warn those who are not His and will never be saved anyway? What about those who take the mark of the beast? God warns those people that they are eternally lost if they do so. Doesn’t that mean that they could be saved if they don’t take the mark? What about those that hold grudges and refuse to forgive? God said our sins won’t be forgiven if we refuse to forgive others. I have a lot of issues with this doctrine because I can’t find it in the scriptures. I do, however, meet lots of Baptists who live sinful lives because all fear of God has been removed from their conscience by this horrible teaching.
We will not escape inherent sin until we get our glorified body. We will not get a glorified body if we commit willful sin.

Is smoking cigarettesso bad that I can loose my salvation? I live in fear of this.
@@Hannelore7 It's not a question of how bad it is. The question is can u do it in faith? Has God convicted you of this or has some person laid a guilt trip on you?
@@truthmonger7 My own guilt. Feel like Im not honoring God by stopping.
@@Hannelore7 I had two sisters approach me at church. They said they were trying to quit smoking. Each time they tried and failed they said they felt worse than before they tried to quit. I said quit trying to quit. Instead pray that God would deliver you from smoking. When God's people were in bondage, God sent a deliverer.
Within a few days God delivered them, and they were through smoking.
I have known people that weren't convicted (by God) of smoking and enjoyed it (to their own detriment) without it affecting their own faith. If it bothers you pray for Jesus to deliver you.
When I got saved God delivered me from alcoholism... instantly. But He didn't deliver me from smoking pot. I think today He wanted to see if I wanted to be delivered. When I realized it was contrary to God for me to smoke pot, I asked God to deliver me and purposed in my heart I wanted to quit and then He delivered me. That was in 1998 and I haven't wanted it (either) since.
God is greater than our sin and will happily separate you from anything contrary to His nature or character. We just have to ask. Peace in Jesus.
@@Hannelore7Don't feel guilty as long as you're not using alcohol and/or drugs...
by the way, I sin just fine WITHOUT a license, just like you, just like everyone else. So don't bother me with that 'license to sin' nonsense.
1John 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

What is beginning to happen in heaven with the proximity of Jewish Passover on the 22nd is of enormous holiness and extreme seriousness.🌹
This is wrong! This pastor just stated an unbiblical claim!!!
It is an invitation to better understand Heavenly Father's plan and follow Him. In the New Testament, the Greek word for perfect means complete, whole, or fully developed, having reached an end-goal. Jesus Christ invites us to strive for that kind of perfection. And He alone can help us to reach it-eventually.
Is 1 John 5:13 still in the Bible?
please -- give us one clear scripture spoken by Jesus Christ that states our reward is living in the 3rd heaven.
In 55 years of study I have found not one! Satan is the father of lies and going to heaven is his dream.
"And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. Luke 23:43"
John 3;16 For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, shall not perish, but have ever lasting life.
John 3;17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
His exposition on Esau make a great point.
No person on this earth has a guarantee of salvation if they repent. Even sincerely with tears.
Try it.
Sincerely repent to God. Ask Him to help and deliver you.
If you are not immediately delivered then God has refused your repentance and nothing you do from this point on will make any difference.
If you can't stop sinning even after asking for God's help its because your are forsaken and God will not hear any plea you make going forward.
The Bible and Christ are now forever useless to you.
Your screams in Hell are all you have to look forward to now.
You have God's word on it.
Thanks for the teaching John!
So I guess Moses, David, and just about every other person including the Apostles didn't make it either based on your logic.
@hypnotank Not my logic, I'm just reiterating the point Pastor John made about Easu seeking repentance and being refused. The Bible didn't say Esau "pretended" to repent or Esau "lied" about repenting. In fact the Bible qualifies the sincerity of Easu's repentance that it was " with tears".
Easu meant it.
God refused it.
Since " all have sinned and fallen short" there isn't one person in this comment section to include yourself who is a greater or lesser sinner than Esau was.
If God refused Easu 's sincere repentance...
It's possible he can refuse anyone's.
This is simple deduction.
Roman's 9:15 " For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion."
Of course the inverse of God's statement here would also necessarily be true and that fact is bourne out by God's dealing with Easu.
@@matthewkinsey9044 Esau did not seek repentance, he wept because of the realization he gave away his blessing trivially and learned there was no more for him. In fact, his "repentance" soon turned into rage, seeking murderous actions - further proving it was never genuine in the first place. Tears mean nothing if they aren't genuine or based off anger/sorrow/loss - which the bible is crystal clear about. If you have any doubt about Esaus character take a look at the rest of Genesis and it summarized in Hebrews 12:16-17
As for the rest of your post
"If you are not immediately delivered then God has refused your repentance and nothing you do from this point on will make any difference" This is simply untrue and not biblical, there is nothing on the time duration let alone immediate deliverance - there is no perceivable way for one to ascertain they are delivered in that moment. Abraham, Moses, David, Paul, Peter and countless others sinned after encountering God either through Cloud, Christophany, prophet etc. The ENTIRE congregation of Israel sinning and repenting and being rescued by God is a theme throughout the entire Bible. Israel sinned after literally being led out of Egypt and through the wilderness after all the signs and miracles God did.
"If you can't stop sinning even after asking for God's help its because your are forsaken and God will not hear any plea you make going forward"
"The Bible and Christ are now forever useless to you."
"Your screams in Hell are all you have to look forward to now."
This is completely false, and there again is no scripture that says someone will never sin after asking for God's help. We are all sinners and born into it, it is the entire reason that Jesus shed his blood. Your message is bleak and it's unbiblical and you should remove it to be honest. Anyone believing on the Lord for their help, the rock and salvation "the sick" are the exact ones Christ came to rescue - you're stating a false gospel of works thinking anyone can be sinless like Christ while on this earth.
Your wrong friend and adding meaning where the Bible dosent.
God's word says Esau sought repentance. You ( not the Bible) said he didn't
The Bible says he sought that repentance with tears. You sir ( not the Bible) say those tears weren't real.
You also falsely claim his repentance immediately turned to rage. Another fallacy you made up without even reading the text. The Bible never states when Esau repented. Only that he did. It would be odd that he repented BEFORE Jacob's deception considering he went to his father with the venison assuming he would receive the blessing. He immediately went to thoughts of murder when he found out he was decived.
So he didn't repent before the deception and not immediately after. Obviously this occured during the 14 years Jacob was with Laban. Your just making stuff up or regurgitating other preaching you've heard.
You have zero contextual evidence for either of your opinions you expressed ( his repentance or his sincerity). You NEED his tears and repentance to be false or YOU have a big doctrinal problem that touches your own salvation.
The fact is, the Bible plain states Esau sought repentance and God rejected him. It just as plain in the Hebrew.
I dont believe in sinless perfection this side of the grave and was speaking tongue and cheek about John's doctrinal position on repentance. You may need to adjust your sarcasm detector.
I reject both legalism and antinomianism as well as attempts to couple the two like Pastor John does.
Salvation by grace, through faith ALONE.
No works are required before and non are required after like the post salvation works crowd here preach.
@@matthewkinsey9044 I did provide contextual evidence, we can disagree on Esau's tears, when I said he didn't repent I meant more that it was hollow as his tears were "bitter" not that he was upset for his sin and for spurning God's blessing, but for what he lost in this world. If you look at the sum of his life through Genesis and again referred to into Hebrews 12:16-17 it becomes apparent that Esau serves as a warning of who not to become like or allow in the congregation. The bible does say when he weeps and when he plans revenge , it is not far off from Issacs death as the blessings were given towards the end of his life. Genesis 27:41 "And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob." Of course I believe that God is sovereign and can bless who He wishes, but I also believe he is just and knows a persons true heart when approached sincerely. Now, aside from all of this around Esau which we can't agree and that's fine, at least we agree on the most important thing - that the only way to be truly saved is through faith and the work of Jesus.
An hour to say no?
he who says he has no sin is a liar.
After listen to this message I dont believe Ive ever considered suicide more than now.
What hopeless message.
If your not capable of hating your sin then Jesus is just going to kill you.
Oh well, guess I wasnt chosen before the foundation of the world.
Its eternal life........THE END
But both biblical
Clearly true faithful Christian’s can. And have. Changed their mind. And went back to the world.
This they weren’t a true believer to start either thing. Is a made up thing
Not in the Bible
