Re: [TruthTalk] OK, done working for now

Dean: I think we've hit the slippery slope here.  Ppl always want to wrangle about hell, sin, and sins and use great lofty words of man's wisdom to talk their way out of it all.  However, just one sin can damn the soul because sin is active and always bearing it's own fruit (ie: lust leads to more lust) and the wages of sin is death. Ppl who claim to know Jesus and walk in darkness lie and do not the truth.  Liars don't inherit the Kingdom - so where does one go from here?  This is why we need the Street Preachers ....   On Sun, 15 Jan 2006 09:06:31 -0500 "Dean Moore" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: cd: I view the word "unbelief" to portray a larger image than what has been stated in this discussion. To have unbelief is not only to reject the person of Christ but to also reject his words which very clearly points one towards God's law and God's grace. So if John 3:18 is correct then one must receive this larger image if not on new birth then later at the bidding of the Holy Ghost. Note and point : One sin can send one to hell if there is refusal of compliance to the conviction power of the Spirit (1 Cor 6:9)-so be not deceived-but sin can also make one least in the kingdom of heaven.This speaks of a personal judgement between the person and God.     ----- Original Message ----- From: Judy Taylor To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Cc: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: 1/15/2006 8:28:37 AM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Fw: OK, done working for now If this Victor person is correct and "UNBELIEF" is the predicament humanity is in then why was the Holy Spirit sent to reprove the WORLD (note this is not just God's covenant ppl) of SIN, righteousness, and judgment? (John 16:8)  Why didn't God send Him as an antidote to "unbelief" only if this is the main problem??   On Sun, 15 Jan 2006 06:50:35 -0500 "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:   ----- Original Message ----- From: Debbie Sawczak To: 'Lance Muir' Sent: January 14, 2006 17:02 Subject: OK, done working for now paragraph in this lecture of Victor's:   I've often said, too, that the hardest part of any service of worship for the minister is the children's story, because nearly all the children's stories here are moralistic bromides. It's just moralistic bromide. And the Gospel isn't heard because we assume that children can't understand the Gospel. They can be taught not to steal, and they can be taught not to swear, but they can't understand the Gospel. This is ridiculous, but keep your eye on the Christian education wing of your church or denomination, because that's where the Gospel goes down.   It strikes me that street preaching and children's sermons go down the same wrong path!   Paragraph from next lecture:   The protestant reformers maintain that the root problem is Sin and it gives rise to sins. But be sure you know which is which, or you will never come to terms with the Gospel. Morality maintains that little "s" sins plural is the human predicament. The Gospel maintains that capital "S" Sin singular – unbelief – is the predicament.   This is the difference between David's understanding of repentance and Bill's/JD's.   D   -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
