Is it a sin to make a deal with God?

I don't think so, Sir.\n\nHow did you do that, though?

Yes, if you truly repent and accept Jesus as your savior. You should also be willing to face the consequences.

There has to be a consequence.  The Lord has set commandments and guidelines we are to follow in order to achieve the eternal life he has promised.  Along those same lines, he cannot go back on his promise of the consequences for inaction or defiance of his laws.   That's why we have this life.  It is the time to prepare to meet God.  Do all that he has asked to the best of our ability.  If we slip or make a mistake, we have repentance,  In the end, when we are judged, Christ's sacrifice and atonement will make up the difference for those things we may have lacked in.  He's set this plan in front of you.  It's your choice to follow it or deny it.  It's your choice, but there are consequences for those choices.

the bible says we all sin and therefore fall short of the Glory of God. for any man to sit here and judge sins of others would be to commit sin himself. i believe if a person has a personal faith in Christ and God they will come to know their own sin by reading God's word and allowing the Spirit to guide them in life. until that time we are to love the sinner, pray for them and minister to them of God's grace in our life that God may do His job in their heart, not condem them.

No, its not a bogof offer and its not buy one get two free - regardless of you buying the reality of God, the son and the spirit it is just that, reality! You have to decide if you want to see it as anything else, but unfortunately it will make you spiritualy a lot poorer!\n\nHope you find the way - through Jesus

Dear Obsessed:  What you said, is fine.  I think if I were going to do an offering prayer, I might say something like this:\n\n"Father, through your divine Holy Spirit Who exists in the souls of each and everyone of us, I offer these partnership monies for Him to use where He knows it is best needed.  Because the Holy Spirit exists within us and knows each of us as Himself, I ask Him to bring these funds to where it will be used for the most good and its highest use.  Holy Spirit, You know who and You know where. . .into your hands I place this offering.  Amen.\n\nBest regards, Lana

I commend you for wanting to do the right thing. I think God will lead you to know which is right. And don't forget, whatever you give ABOVE the tithe is your OFFERING. Malachi 3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me, But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

God does support private property.  We are supposed to endure suffering because as long as sin is in the world, people must expiate for that sin by suffering.  It's a good thing, though because the reward will all be worth it.  And God was fair enough to allow himself through His Son to share in the suffering of humanity as he would not have us suffer unless he also was willing to suffer.  Please be more specific with what you are asking about private property.

I wouldn't put it past him to do so. It's like a business. You do what you have to do to make your product sell........Salvation is what everyone wants...

I believe in Christianity and unpopular as it is, I believe if you do not believe in Jesus Christ as your personal Savior you are condemning your self to eternal damnation.  It's your choice, but don't complain about the consequences, when you make the choice.  And yes, if you sign a contract that binds your beliefs and your soul to anything other than God, you are in effect signing a contract with the devil

If there is a god, he could do whatever he wants.  \n\nPeople say god can't sin but when you ask what sin is, the usually define it as going against the will of god.\n\nOf course god won't go against his own decisions.  That doesn't mean he won't be an evil bastard.  His will could be to torture you for no reason.  Tough luck for you.  Since his will is what believers define as good, torturing you is good.\n\nIn fact defining "good" as whatever is in god's will makes the word "good" meaningless.  The word "good" shold be defined outside of god's thoughts or action, then we can determine if god is good or not.\n\nOr, to make things much easier, we can realize that god doesn't exist and be done with it.

Your relationship with God is personal just like his is. Your actions might win him over just give it time and keep the communication between you open and honest.

maybe. God uses hardships & struggle to build character to the person you might think has a 'hard life'. if he just hands over everything we want we dont learn anything.

Yes if anyone tries to sell you religion just tell them this:\n\n Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods.  In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully.  If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock.  Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it.  Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God.  That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt.  Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction.  Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you.  He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors.  "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him."  (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)

God is Just and cannot change. The wages of sin is death and Jesus has died for his people (shed His blood). That sacrifice is acceptable to God as payment for all our sin (even sin we will still commit) Because God is just He can no longer hold our sin against us if Christ has paid for them. Be careful you don't view this as an excuse to sin. Romans teaches us those who think this way are not saved or forgiven. Those n Christ will try to please Him.
