Everything she said is the gospel of the Bible.\n\n"Its all about Jesus"\nWhy this world was created, how it will be redeamed, how we are saved and gain eternal life.\n\n"He is the only one who can set you free from 'the law of sin and death'."\nThe Law of Sin and Death is the term used in Romans Romans 8:2 regarding the Old Testament law. It was designed to reveal we are sinners by our inability to keep the law--hence we need a Savior to save us from this law of sin and death. It is preceded with "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."\n\n"He is the only one who can forgive you of your sins and restore your broken relationship with God because of your sins."\nJesus said plainly, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no man comes to the Father but by Me." Peter also said in Acts 4:12,  "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."\n\nObviously, Randy, Paula and Simon didn't get it. It was very gospel, which is a valid genre to sing. I think she will do just fine next voting session.

Oh my, no you won't. And I am sure there are those that could quote verse upon verse, usually out of context, to persuade you it is so.  From a christian stand point, which is what your friend is supposedly espousing, are these not the very people you should showing God's love to?\nIs this Wiccan person forcing you to her company, her beliefs, her spirituality?  My guess is no. If you want to be a christian be one, but ask yourself not what a host of disjointed verses can be construed to mean, but simply if Christ  met this woman, what would he do, how would he treat her. Christ's message is love. If you do not believe in the christian teachings, this should be of noconsequence to you. It seems the offensive party here is the "friend" that deems you should Judge others based on her beliefs.

well I like this potion in the bible Jeremaiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. and also Rom 8:31-\n31What can we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? 32Since God did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won't God, who gave us Christ, also give us everything else?\n    33Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? Will God? No! He is the one who has given us right standing with himself. 34Who then will condemn us? Will Christ Jesus? No, for he is the one who died for us and was raised to life for us and is sitting at the place of highest honor next to God, pleading for us.\n\n    35Can anything ever separate us from Christ's love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or are hungry or cold or in danger or threatened with death? 36(Even the Scriptures say, "For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep."[l]) 37No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.\n\n    38And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can't, and life can't. The angels can't, and the demons can't. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers of hell can't keep God's love away. 39Whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.\n\nI love this passages it keeps me going knowing that the Lord has something good for me and He is always there for me also no matter what I am going thru be it as a result of my mistake or something I have to go thru, I know it that nothing can separet mew from The Love of God and I mean nothing

What Jesus said about "divorce and remarry" would apply to everyone.  But the Ministers just look the other way, why?  Because if they enforced what Jesus said, they would have very few at their meetings, & there would be no money coming in.\n\nDIVORCE AND SEPARATION\n\nGod, the Originator of marriage, designed it to be a permanent union. But is there any Scriptural reason for a person to divorce his or her mate—and one that would allow for the possibility of remarrying? Jesus addressed this matter by declaring: “I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication, and marries another commits adultery.” (Matthew 19:9) Sexual infidelity by a mate is the only ground for a divorce that will allow the innocent mate to remarry.\n\nIn addition, the Bible’s words at 1 Corinthians 7:10-16, while encouraging marriage mates to stay together, allow for separation. Some, after trying very hard to preserve their marriage, feel they have no choice but to separate. What can be acceptable Scriptural grounds for such a step?\n\nOne is willful nonsupport. When getting married, a husband assumes the responsibility of providing for his wife and children. The man who willfully fails to provide the material necessities of life “has disowned the faith and is worse than a person without faith.” (1 Timothy 5:8) So separation is possible.\n\nAnother is extreme physical abuse. So then, if a mate physically abuses his wife, the victim may separate. (Galatians 5:19-21; Titus 1:7) “Anyone loving violence [God’s] soul certainly hates.”—Psalm 11:5.\n\nAnother ground for separation is the absolute endangerment of a believer’s spirituality—one’s relationship with God. When a mate’s opposition, perhaps including physical restraint, has made it impossible to pursue true worship and has imperiled the believer’s spirituality, then some believers have found it necessary to separate.—Matthew 22:37; Acts 5:27-32.\n\nHowever, if divorce is pursued under such circumstances, one would not be free to enter a new marriage. According to the Bible, the only legitimate ground for divorce that permits remarriage is adultery or “fornication.”—Matthew 5:32.\n\nThe Bible allows only one reason for getting a divorce that frees a person to remarry, and that is fornication (Greek, porneia, gross sexual immorality). If fornication is committed, then the innocent mate may decide whether to get a divorce or not.—Matthew 5:32.\n\nAfter telling the Pharisees that the Mosaic concession of divorcing their wives was not the arrangement that had prevailed “from the beginning,” Jesus said: “I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication, and marries another commits adultery.” (Mt 19:8, 9)

Are you sure about the quotation? I don't recognise it. The closest I can get is: \n"God may forgive you but I won't\nYes, Jesus loves you but I don't"\n\nThat's from the song "God may forgive you but I won't", as far as I know originally sung by Rosie Flores.

Jesus stayed out of politics.  so it is hard to  transfer what he taught in that day to present times, politically speaking.\n\nExample; Because he saved the woman caught in the act of adultery, does that mean he would be against ALL death penalty cases?\n\nAnd, if you noticed, while he saved her, he didn't back down on saying she was wrong. ("Go & sin no more.") I can imagine liberals screaming, "Who are you telling her what to do with her own body!"\n\nHe obviously wanted the poor to be taken care of, but does that mean he would have wanted the government to be in charge of it? And 50% of the rich man's income being confiscated to pay for it? That sounds more like Robin Hood than Jesus Christ!\n\nHe said you have to pay your taxes, but would he have voted for a politician who advocated fixing things by higher taxes?\n\nHe taught obedience to the government, but does that mean he wanted a big government?\n\nI can't imagine Jesus being anything but disgusted by mid to late- term abortions, but the Bible is not specific on the subject. The issue of "when life begins" would have to be answered, first.\n\nBut as far as issues like trade unions and strong regulation of business, strong environmental regulations, animal rights & gun control, it's hard to say, exactly. \n \nBTW - The mythology of Mary Magdalene is that she was a REFORMED prostitute.  But there isn't actually anything in the Bible to support the notion she ever was a prostitute.\n\nNOW, as to why ANYONE would fork over money to the likes of Bennie Hin is beyond me!\n\nP.S.  You can always count on KooKoo Bananas to spit out the hatred, can't you?

I've backslidden away from the Lord before and I found that I can't live without him.  Everyone else will fail us at one time or another--Jesus will never leave us or forsake us.  The Bible talks about walking away from the Lord and returning to sin is like a dog returning to his own vomit and eating it.  I certainly made some wrong choices in my life and walked the fence for a long time--but as I cried out for help--Jesus once again picked me up and loved me right where I was.  There is nothing that this world can offer you that can satisfy your soul like Jesus can.

Jesus addressed this idea in John 8:\nThe teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" ... When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" "No one, sir," she said. "Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin."\nI think the passage speaks for itself.

•Jesus is not a Saviour. He is not capable, even, to save himself from his enemies. How he can be considered “All-Able” to save everyone on the earth. It is the Lord alone__ Who is the All-Able to save every creature of the universe including the mankind__ as the Lord is already saving__ each of them__ without any desolation and defect.\nThe Same God is the God of Jesus who was the God of Jacob and Moses (peace & blessings of God be upon all the three). The one God, beside whom, there is no God at all.\n\nJesus is not the inventor of Trinity. Nor he is presenting him as one of three Gods. Nor he is telling the One God as the third of the three gods. Instead, he is openly rejecting the concept of Trinity, which stands for the following three gods.\n\n1.The God of Moses____ Jehovah\n2.The word of God_____ Jesus\n3.Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost.\n\nThe Trinity is a baseless concept in terms of the Verse under reference, the verse 3 of the prayer.\n\nTorah says,\n“Remember This! The Lord and the Lord alone___ is our God.\nLove the Lord your god with all your heart,\nWith all your soul, and with all your strength.”\n(Deut 6:4-5)\n\n“Fear the Lord your God, worship only God,\nand make your promises in God’s name alone.\nDo not worship other gods,\nAny of the gods of the people around you.\nIf you do worship other gods,\nThe Lord’s anger will come against you\nLike fire and will destroy you completely,\nBecause the Lord your God,\nWho is present with you, tolerates no rivals.”\n(Deut 6:13-14-15)\n\n“God is a great god and (only) one to be feared.’\n(Deut 7:21)\n\nPrior to Jesus, the Lord had created Eve, without mother__ and Adam, without mother and father, the both. Afterwards, the Lord created Jesus without father. So the creation of Jesus, without father, is the third instance of the Lord’s all-encompassing creativity___ which is free from all the channels or systems of the birth. Instead, all the channels or systems of the birth are subservient to the all-encompassing and unique creativity of the Lord.\n\nJesus was born after Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ismael, Isaac, Jacob, David, Solomon, Moses and the numerous other Prophets (peace & blessings of God be upon all of them). If he were the Son-God, then, all of the foregoing Prophets, must have been the believers of Trinity. But the case is not like that at all. None of them was the believer of Trinity, rather, none of them, had, even, heard about the name of Trinity, in their times. Hence, Trinity is nothing else but an invented and artificial concept which has no existence, even, during the time of Jesus. It is, therefore, a rootless concept from all accounts.\n\n•Jesus believed in the same God___ who was believed in__ by Adam, Noah, Ibrahim, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses and all the prophets (peace &blessings of the LORD be upon all of them).\n\nAccording to Jesus, God, the Holy One; is the Saviour of the Whole mankind. God is capable (be God glorified as God is) to relive off every infliction. None of the human beings is saviour beside God. Jesus, himself is also, not a saviour at all. The people who have chosen him as their saviour__ they have denied the Holy One___ who alone is the saviour of Jesus and whole mankind and the act of choosing Jesus as saviour__ is equal to hate the Holy One___ as it is clearly written in the old Testament:-\n\n“I am the Lord your God. Worship no God but Me. Do not make for yourself images of anything in heavens or on earth or in the water under the earth. Do not bow down to any idol or worship it. Because I am the Lord your God and I tolerate no rivals. I bring punishment on those who hate me, on their descendants, down to third and fourth generation.”\n(Exodus 20:1-5)\nDuring his preaching, Jesus had never called himself as God or Son-God.Now, look upon those people who consider Jesus as God or Son-God. They are, baselessly, blaming even those people who were present at the spot and knew that Jesus was not God or son-god. In

It is very sad indeed that these statements hold so much truth. Just because someone says they are Christian does not mean they are Christ like although that is what the bible teaches us to be. All through out the Word of God we are taught love. I believe because of a few who are ready to condemn or judge others they are defeating the purpose of true Christianity. We are not suppose to turn any away and still there are those that do. Then again the bible says that many will knock but few will enter. I personally apologize to all who have been hurt by someone claiming to have done so for religions sake. The God I serve is a God of love and He loves each and every one of us no matter what our flaws. I'm sure that when He sees someone turning away from Him because of something said or done He is truly heartbroken and disappointed.

The verse itself fits perfectly with Salvation. He is the way, the truth, and the life. Without Jesus, you can't get to God. You must be saved by Jesus, to get to God. What Jesus said is the PERFECT verse to argue salvation with. Jesus will show you the way, the truth, and give you life everlasting by saving you, wich gets you to God.

Be careful on your choice of words...saying "I hate her" maybe you could say "I dislike what she is doing"\nYou see what we speak has either life or death.\nHere is a verse for you that may help with your emotions.\n\nMark 12:28-31\n28 One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, "Of all the commandments, which is the most important?" \n\n     29 "The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' 31 The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." \n\nPray for her for she is lost...Prayer is very powerful. Right now she has allowed satan to mess with her life. Trust me she won't be laughing for a long time.\nYou know what has helped me is \n1) Reading the Bible\n2) I read "Power of a Praying Woman"\n\nHelped me in all situations of life....work, marriage, children etc...

Good question!\n\nWhich brings us to the fact that Jesus was a man spreading the Word of God and not being penalized for everyone elses mistakes. They will be held accountable. We are responsable for our own actions. Would that then mean that we can freely sin since we have been saved? i think not.\n\nWell done you for highlighting this!\n\nto the person who said Jesus went to hell for 3 days to get the souls of those who were wrongfully sent there, are you implying that God makes mistakes now??\n\nand i wish people would stop rhetorically quoting the bible as their answer without explanation, like they know what it means anyway, its just rhetoric.\n\nand for the record, if all sins have been cleansed through Jesus and his crucifiction, then will someone please tell me the point of judgement day??!!!

Thank you for letting me answer your question.\n\nActually your question can be actually made of (2) separate questions. I'll be brief, but percise.\n1. What does it mean that Jesus sacrificed himself?  \n   A: The bible speaks about Jesus became sin for the purpose of an exchange. He became or took our sin for the purpose of giving all humans a right to forgiveness and everlasting life with God in heaven. \nSo the sacrifice portion as the bible explains kicked in when Jesus, the Son of God lived a life on earth as a man never to have committed any sin, but accepted all sin to death for all humans. The ultimate sacrifice done completely out of love.  \n\n2. Committing sins and going to heaven?\nBelieving that Jesus is the Son of God, Died on the Cross, and Rose from the grave allows those that believe on those (3)things to have a right to ask for forgiveness. All people commit some form of sin, but the truth about sinning comes from the intension of from the heart concerning sinning. \n\nA true believer is not trying to find ways to do immoral actions. \n\nIts encouraged that any person who believes to ask for forgiveness anytime/all the time when you feel something didn't line up with what you believe to be unpleasant before God. The key that many miss is that God loves you. Please read Psalms 103. \n\nGod would not have gone through all the trouble of setting up/placing Jesus on earth then allow him to be sacrificed/killed and offer up eternal life/forgiveness only to strike/condem people to hell when they miss it.\nThe only time the bible does speak on not being forgiven is when a believer who has experienced God to fullness denies God to exist. That person had witnessed His mercy/LOVE/spirit/prosperity, yet when its all done they still say in their "HEART/Inner Thoughts" God doesn't exist(Hebrews 6 and 10). \nI hope this answers your question.

This was a little hard to follow, though I think I understand what is going on. There is obviously some bitterness going on; otherwise they wouldn't feel the need to insult this person. Show them I Corinthians 13, where it gives the characteristics of Christian love. And Philippians 4, where it speaks of thinking on "whatever is true, pure, right..." You shouldn't have to say much, the Holy Spirit will. Much prayer for wisdom on your part is necessary. James 1:8 says if we ask for wisdom, God will give it to us. Lastly, don't accuse them. Just tell them kindly that you felt that it may not be loving of them to do these things. Hope it goes well!

Everyone does things that God tells us are wrong. This is known as sin. God doesn't expect you to be perfect. He just wants you to accept His forgiveness, so He can be your friend. This is called salvation. \nThe way God forgives us is through Jesus. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." Jesus died on a cross and was buried for three days. \n\nBut then something awesome happened. He rose from the grave and came back to life! He is now in heaven and wants you to accept Him. \n\nTelling Jesus You Need Him \n\nYou can accept Jesus by telling Him you need salvation. Have you ever done or said or even thought something that you knew was wrong? Maybe you lied to your parents, said something mean to your brother or sister, or thought something that wasn’t very nice about someone. This is all sin, and every person in the world has sinned. Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." \n\nWhat It Means To Repent \n\nJesus not only wants us to accept Him, but He also wants us to be sorry for our sins. He wants us to repent. To repent means to change or to turn from our old ways. Jesus wants you to act in new ways that are good and pleasing to God. (Luke 13:3) \n\nUnless we repent, we will always live away from God–not allowed to go to heaven and not able to live life to its fullest here on earth. (Romans 6:23) \n\nIn order to turn from our ways, we must believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that He is the only way we can truly change. He wants us to ask Him into our lives. Just like you might ask a classmate if he or she will be your friend, Jesus wants us to ask Him to be our friend too. \n\nInviting Jesus into Your Life \n\nIf you would like to invite Jesus Christ into your life, all you have to do is ask Him through prayer. He wants to be your best friend. Here’s a good way to ask Him:\n\nDear Jesus, \n\nI know that I have sinned, because I have done and said wrong things. I do not want to be apart from God because of my sin. I need You to take away my sin and forgive me. I believe that You died and rose from the grave for me because You love me so much. Thank You, Jesus, for forgiving my sin and coming into my life. Please help me to know You more every day. Help me live like You want me to live.\n\nAmen.\n\nCongratulations!\n\nYou are now a child of God! \n\n(2 Corinthians 5:17-18) God has made you brand new, and He has great things planned for you.\nNow you have a new birthday. This day is your new birthday. You have now been born again. You have a birthday, when you were born of the flesh, this is your day you were born of the spirit! Happy Birthday.

It all depends on what she did to you. Yes, God does say we need to forgive people, but not for others. It's for ourselves so that we do not have bitterness and hate in our hearts. The reason being is simple...it opens doors for other intities to enter. My advice, recognize that she is only human, and that we all make mistakes. Just remember though...God says to forgive those who tresspass against us...not that we need to continue relationships w/ them. Good luck to you!
