This is what is helping me through my storm! It helps me have hope and know that God will not go back from his words. James 2:12-13 - So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. So I know He will do as long as I do my part and it is me to trust and have faith in him.
Timothy Wayne George's comment on 1/22/2013, 8:44am...
Confession of sin, is to agree with God that you are a sinner. Just as King David confessed in Psalm 51 against thee only oh God have I sinned. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation. In order for us to be restored to fellowship with God, and the Church, we must confess our sin. God then has promised to cast our sin as far as the east is from the west. May the Lord bless you richly, my beloved.
Gift's comment on 1/22/2013, 5:00am...
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Truly, brethren what does it really mean to 'confess our sins? What does confession mean in this context? It is important to make this plain and known to everyone because it is fundamental to salvation. I thought of ROMANS 10:9, and my understanding is that confession here is speaking out that which you have come to believe or be convinced of. Sometimes people answer alter calls and repeat after a preachers, give their names to church councilors and then follow up begins, which sometimes prove to be futile exercise, because confession was not done right. I will appreciate your comments, please.

It is the verse that delivered me from the spirit of condemnation. Thanks be to God.
Sandra's comment about verse 9 on 1/04/2013, 10:43pm...
Of the promises of the Bible, this is one of my favorite that if we believe and confess our sins, He is true and just to forgive, because by receiving this gift, we are no less better than Jesus Christ to be able to forgive our debtors.
Sharon's comment about verse 5 on 12/18/2012, 7:15pm...
We all should believe that God is the light, and we should not be in the dark.
Mark's comment on 12/04/2012, 4:30am...
When Jesus said "paradise" while he was on the cross, he was not referring to heaven. Remember, 3 days later, he told Mary not to touch him because he had not yet ascended to his father. You see, death or Hades would be paradise to a person being tortured!
Tapiwa Mkorongo's comment about verse 8 on 11/13/2012, 8:25am...
If we say we have no sin, we deceive our self and the truth is not in us. This is very true.
Bh's comment on 11/05/2012, 12:00pm...
Please take the scriptures at his word. See Matthew 9:5-6 and Luke 23:43 "today" simply means that, that is when the statement was made, that day. Paradise also includes the Garden of Eden, (earthly restoration of the kingdom) Jesus is a spirit being; (born out of the spirit, is “spirit". John 3:6 after a spiritual church is complete, the earth, and the "thief" will be resurrected to a physical condition; understand and repent and be nourished to a perfect physical condition! No limited "physical" church can accomplish this! It has been tried, see 1Corinthians15:50 "kingdom", equals the government.. Revelation 22:1; 22:17.
Ron's comment on 10/31/2012, 9:36pm...
Our sins are not forgiven because we are baptized. Our sins are forgiven because of the blood of Jesus Christ. Salvation is a free gift. Baptism is something we do after we are saved to proclaim our salvation.
George's comment about verse 7 on 9/12/2012, 8:45pm...
What a glorious promise...even as Jesus instructed us to love the light because if we walk in it our sin is shown. With the promise of forgiveness after repentance.
Dan's comment on 9/08/2012, 9:40pm...
verse 3 There fellowship is with the father and his son Jesus Christ they were taught about this fellowship by Jesus they now wish to tell us what they heard verse 5 This then is the message we have heard of him and declare unto you that God is light and in him is no darkness at all verse 7 If we walk in the light... God is the light as he is in the light... meaning If we walk in God as He is in God we have fellowship one with another not one another one with another the father and his Son Jesus Christ. How do you walk in God 1John 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God God dwelleth in him and he in God... God is light if God who is light dwells in you and you dwell in him its impossible for you to walk in darkness 1John3:23-24 And this is his commandment that you believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another as he gave Commandment.And he that keepeth his commandment God dwelleth in him and he in God verse 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him an walk in darkness...meaning were not keeping his commandments ....Because if we are God who is light dwells in us if were not in the light were not keeping his commandments.....again If we say we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness we lie 1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ....The SON OF GOD ....He is antichrist who denieth the father and the son

I love this verse it is our Christians bar of soap, now matter how dirty we get he is there too clean us. Our God is an awesome God.
PR's comment on 9/08/2012, 9:21am...
"Forgiveness from “sins” is a free gift based on a condition. (Acts 2:38) The condition for forgiveness is baptism in water."
And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. (Luke 23:43)
So when exactly was the malefactor baptized?
Either the Lord is wrong or you are.

W G F's comment about verse 9 on 3/23/2011, 3:35am..
1) Forgiveness of “sins” is a free gift based on baptism in water after ‘repentance of ‘sin. (Acts 2:38) “repent and be baptized are ‘ conditions. Forgiveness and the gift of the Holy Spirit are ‘gifts. (see John 5:24) Eternal life is based on repentance from nonbelief to belief.
2) Scripture ‘DOES not say repent from ‘sins, but repent from sin. (see John 16:8a,9)
Themba's comment about verse 10 on 3/24/2011, 11:26am...
Believers are not under the law, and they cannot commit sins.
(Rom.5:13) (Rom.6:14) Believers CAN NOT SIN (1 John 3:9)
It is not sin, it is ‘spiritual adultery. (Rom.7:1-5, 1 Cor.6:15-20)
Moses's comment about verse 9 on 7/09/2011, 9:22am...
Christ DID NOT forgive ‘sin (John 16:8a,9) Sin is repented from.
He freely forgives ‘sins. (Acts 2:38) after repentance and baptism.
Forbes's comment about verse 8 on 10/09/2011, 2:54am..
Rom.3:23 is to non beleivers. And we WERE all non believers.
Already dead in sin(un-belief) (Rom.5)
Darrel Sharp's comment on 8/09/2012, 8:39pm...
In response to : Timothy Wayne George's comment on 2/04/2012, 9:46am 1 John 1
1) We do not have a relationship “with Christ but “in” Christ. (John 14:20) (1 Cor.1:30)
2) We as human beings can never be holy, and Scripture does not ask us to. Scripture says we are holy “in” Christ. (1 Cor.1:30) I “in” Christ, before God, Christ “in” me, before the world. (John 14:20)
3) Scripture NEVER claims the Holy Spirit ‘convicts” believers of SIN! John 16:8a, KJV is a mis-translation. Convict is not the proper word here, perhaps ‘confute is.(it DOES NOT SAY SINS.” This Scripture says “the world” not believers.
4) Forgiveness from “sins” is a free gift based on a condition. (Acts 2:38) The condition for forgiveness is baptism in water. V.38 also states that eternal life is for believing in Christ. (The ‘un-belief is ‘repented from) ‘ the condition) (Acts 2:38)
EG: Repent AND be Baptized for the forgiveness of “sins” and you shall receive the Gift of the Holy Spirit. The first two are conditions, the second two are gifts..
Note: (baptism DOES NOT and CANNOT cleanse from sins, it is a symbol of such cleansing)
5) Believers cannot sin (un-belief) (John 16:9) and believers ARE NOT UNDER the Law (Rom.6:14) so they cannot commit “sins”
6) The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses the new believers “sins” (repentance is from sin to belief)
Note: One IS NOT a ‘sinner because they commit sins. One is a “sinner” because of Adam. (Rom.5:12) so one commits sins because they are a ‘sinner.
7) When Believers fail, it is S/spiritual adultery.(1 Cor.6:15-20) (Rom.7:1-4)
Note: 1 Cor.6.18 all sin (sins) is outside the body (covered by and under the blood) EXCEPT Sexual sin (spiritual adultery) is against (inside) the body and must be stopped!
Note. S/spiritual adultery does not come under the blood, IT MUST BE STOPPED!

1John chapter 1 as well as the whole book is written to the church. The epistles of John are letters writtento the church. All epistles were letters written the church to admonish. Church folks on their wreckless lifestyle.
Grant's comment on 6/19/2012, 8:04am...
Brother i completly agree with you and here is one of many scriptures to back it up. John 14:12
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
In Mark chapter 5 is the story of the caveman with a legion of demons,(about 2000)jesus cast them out with authority. The very same athourity he has givin us today to do GREATER works than these...
Kennygross's comment on 6/17/2012, 9:29am...
If you are a born again christian it should be no surprise to you what to do when satan comes up agaist you. God has invested in you power and autority to rebuke the devil away from you and out of you. (Eph6:10-22). Even if you are a new christian today the LORD JESUS CHRIST will recieve you instantly into is Holy Spirit the moment within a twinkling of an eye He is in you for all eternity. God bless and have a Jesus filled day every day. Kenny.
Carla's comment on 6/10/2012, 10:54pm...
Simply believe and have faith in what is written. your ad-visor is God and he advises and he speaks to you through his word. Refer to your bible and look at how many times he speaks of diligently seeking him, getting spiritual knowledge and understanding. Prayer and study he will draw nearer to you. God is not an earthly scholar so if you approach gaining knowledge of him through mans written analysis? by You perhaps need to first ask God to give you trust and belief in him. And not in trust of man and this world. I hope you know too that God is calling you. His word has been corrupted by the denominational churches. God warns us of these churches who have removed his written word and stay away from the holy bible. He also speaks of who is behind ( Satan) Prayer, fasting and study of the king james bible. God will draw closure to you. Not many recognize or question why Gods Love letter ( king james) has been thrown out or rewritten. Satan his the influence and if he can get those false pastors and teachers to turn away from the true written word (surprise man kind looses his ticket to salvation. God Bless you

FAITH COMES BY HEARING,COMES BY STUDYIN HIS WORD ,IT COMES FROM THE HEART
Bane's comment on 2/10/2012, 4:19am...
MIKE, thank you for THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT.It is magnificent. If I have more questions I will call you. It is going to be soon, I am sure.Let us be perfect as perfect is our Heavenly Father.GOD BLESS US ALL
P.S. I saw a comment about how Abraham had to sacrifice Isaak. For me it is a good lesson about God - man relationship. Man has to be full of faith and totally obedient to God without expecting anything in return.
Mike's comment on 2/09/2012, 4:04am...
Bane's , Matthew 5 " The Sermon on the Mount. The "B" Attitudes- Christ was explaining despite the way we are treated in the world we are or will be blessed for a God honoring responce. Romans 12:14-21 goes on to further explain how Christians today deal with these types of problems. The people at the sermon on the mount did not have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit as we do today. What Jesus tought them went against all the teaching they had recieved. There were 400 years between the old testament and new testament where God did not speak to the Jewish people so the religous establishment gave moral guidance to direct peoples worship. It was refreshing and new for the people to hear the word of God from Jesus. God Bless

Bane's comment on 2/08/2012, 4:55am...
answer to MIKE
first of all, thank you for thinking about me. In some things I agree, in some I disagree but in one you are right. One has to be in the company of fellow Christians, and I am sure God will show me the way. Now a simple question. In Serbian language there is term BESEDA NA GORI (speech on the hill) for 111 verses in Matthew chapter 5 and further. What is the universal term for this in English language. Best regards and GOD BLESS YOU.
Mike's comment on 2/06/2012, 11:39pm...
To Bane's, You grew up with trust being a hard thing to do from what you have related to me. When you accepted Christ as your personal Saviour he exspect us to trust Him and those he sends our way. He also exspects us to be part of a local church.
Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
The Holy Spirit is residing in you and You Were baptised in the Holy Spirit the moment you accepted Christ. It dose not invole any type of works, tounges,EXC. God will show you his word in many ways from the same schripture. This is how I receive many of my blessings in life.I can recall at least 12 differnt messages over peter walking on the water. All schriptural, correct & a blessing. Think for a second--Who would want to keep you from a local church?? Christ who established the church and died for it?? or Satan who wants to steal your joy?? I must head to work so will continue later. If you tell me what town you live in I can see if I know of a good church in the area. God Bless Mike
