Yes, we are born into sin to better get rid of them (the sins). You don't get rid of something you don't have, right? The way you get rid of them is double for we are too weak to fully succeed by our own. You take a step toward God (efforts to be better and to repent) for God to take more steps toward you (salvation).Moma tiold me there would be days like these!
God reminds me of the tax man...he gets you in the end!
I go to church for bribery
These lot have no money.
Come on Mr John....we are all sinners.. Eve .having ate that apple . Have yous seen what this lot eat??? They will bite your hand off 2ft away from their troughs. Whilst we are simple garbage eaters with a bit of wine and bread, they will have no chance!
We are BORN INTO SIN.
God to listen to???
Strewth...if he had any sense he would put his headphones on...Just send em down the pit! Legs and all. Flipping heads pop back up...a good wack with a brush head and put the lid back on
They need forgiveness, not repentance. sod the penance.
John......it has to be blooming good where they a are going or some b*gger would have found a way to come back!
When we go to heaven (i will find a way) we can talk a bit more.
New Jerusalem? Why has Wimpy got a big contract over there?
James 4:8-10 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
People need forgiveness, that's for sure. And they will receive it BECAUSE they will repent...and have faith. Take a step toward God for God to take two steps toward you.
The New Jerusalem are for those who did it. But the story is not finished yet for all those people must finally convince God they deserved to be saved at the end of God's Millennium. The life conditions in the New Jerusalem, without Satan's influence, should even more separate the wheat from the chaff, the sins wouldn't then be put on Satan's back.
