Re: [TruthTalk] Fw: Rikk Watts on Genesis 1

I wouldn't put it off on God Caroline, we are responsible for our own actions. I recall an incident in a Church we used to go to where a friend of mine had a Word of Knowledge given her about a regular brother who was a Church regular and in the habit of going to the altar every time there was an altar call for any reason.  She confronted him with what the Lord had shown her and he acknowledged it was true - He went on to say that he knew he could go to hell but that he liked what he was doing. Just like the pedophile priests in the RCC.  Until they learn to hate the sin as much as God hates it - and then want to be free more than anything else, they will continue in this bondage that leads to destruction both for them and their victims.  judyt   On Sat, 14 May 2005 20:09:25 -0500 "Caroline Wong" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Regarding my comment on intentional sin jt: None that I know of, under Levitical law they were cut off from the people.  We are told not to allow the sun to go down on our wrath and how does one get drunk or commit adultery unintentionally?  Drunkards and fornicators do not inherit God's Kingdom.  Under both Covenants it would take genuine repentance which BTW is also a gift and since this is out of our control (other than our willingness and desire) it should cause humility and godly fear.  judyt    Caroline: The first 5 chapters of Leviticus speak about atonement for unintentional sin. When I started reading Leviticus, I was freaking out because there does not seem to be atonement for intentional sin and all of us humans have been guilty of sinning intentionally at least once in our lives. Then there is Leviticus 6. Then there is the New Covenant. Judy, you're saying that if someone repents, then they are forgiven and that this is a gift from God.   Now we come to a pivot point. If it is God's desire that all men are reconciled to Him, then He gifts them with genuine repentance. And He is almighty so I can't see why He'll fail. But if God desire that some go to hell and some to heaven......
