Bible Discussion Thread

i had a conversation and later arguement on this very theme with a roommate who contends, should a non believing wife continue to have canal relationship with a her husband. immediately i invoked that we are under grace not the law. however he was adamant and even questioned whether pentecostals (myself)have a repenting system like catholics.now thats when i asked do you go to church purporsely to repent to a priest or it should be from within where the sin took root your heart. i had him mumble incoherently but told him to read john 4:14 and the great commission that we are under the ministry of the Holy Spirit. whoever calls upon His name shall not be put to shame. if jesus has already paid the price and he became the curse for me some people still need to know basic biblical truths. its like that samaritan woman who trusted in ancestry and a long line of heritage to be real worship. i believe if i confess with my mouth and sincerely from my heart He is faithful and just to forgive my sins. and this scripture vindicates my stand of sanctification of a believing husband of the wife. similarly all food if received with thanksgiving it becomes purified by the invocation of the blood of the lamb.
