Think God can't forgive your sin?

Here's a message for those who think the sin they've done is too big
for God to forgive them. You underestimate the power of God, and of
what Jesus did at the cross, if you think your sin is too weighty for
God.

God is able to save everyone to the uttermost. We receive His perfect
righteousness, as His free gift when we ask Him to forgive our sin:

Cries of the lost
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohLh68W2frc

Eternity is calling you. God wants you to be with Him in Heaven. He
invites you to come and to ask His Son to forgive your sin, and in so
doing to gain eternal life.

This knowledge comes through the heart, the core of your being, that
thing you can't shake when you look yourself in the mirror and there
are no distractions.

If you know God is calling you, answer Him and rejoice! He is calling
out to save your eternal soul, to give you eternal life on even the
streets of gold.

Thank you,
Rick C. Hodgin

One has to do penitence for sins but too has to repair the wrong results of his own sins, and have to say or believe he - she never remake (make one more time ) them.
But first of this one has to know commands and where are his own sins...

Tell that to the thief on the cross. All he did was ask the Lord to
remember Him when He entered into His Kingdom. He did not do anything
other than come to the place of acknowledging he was a sinner, and to
then receive salvation, a free gift by God.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians+2%3A8-9&version=KJV
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

There is nothing you can do to earn salvation. It is God's gift to
you.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+23%3A42-43&version=KJV
42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest
into thy kingdom.
43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt
thou be with me in paradise.

The thief on the cross received grace and mercy because he asked the
Lord, and was at a true place of repentance. The other thief on the
cross mocked the Lord, and received eternal condemnation.

-----
There is nothing we must do to be saved, except to ask Jesus to forgive
our sin, and be at a true place of repentance. You cannot parrot the
words, "Lord, forgive me," with no meaning behind it in your heart and
be saved. It must be a real outreach and expression of the true changed
inner state of your core being, that you are truly repentant, and you
do truly want to be saved.

That change is something only God can do:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+6%3A44&version=KJV
44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me
draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

God is spirit, and our spirit is dead because of sin. And until God
performs a spirit miracle within us, we cannot even acknowledge Him,
let alone come to Him and ask forgiveness. But, as He commands that
our spirit be made alive, and we are drawn by His grace and mercy to
His Son, then are we drawn with power and authority from within to
boldly come to God and ask forgiveness, in much weeping and tears, so
that we will not be ashamed at the appearing of His glory, but then
do we pass from death to life in that instant, and are forever alive,
and are able to from that day forward discern matters of the spirit,
and His continual presence within us will draw us closer and closer
to Him.

But our flesh remains as it was, corrupt and in sin, and it is an
ongoing constant battle. Our flesh wants this, our spirit wants that.
We must focus and discipline ourselves so our bodies do not dictate
our direction, but rather our spirit, and our inner love of God being
manifest into all areas of our lives.

It's why God asks us to go ye therefore and make disciples, and to
teach them all things He has commanded, and to obey them. They are
guards in our lives. Things He's given us to protect us. When we
are following after His ways we are protected from the enemy's attempts
to destroy us. When we go our own way, the enemy is greater than we
are, and he quickly consumes us in sin and ties us down and binds us
up.

But God is greater. And for all who will hear the truth, He will do
the supernatural miracle things in your life that are impossible for
man, and He will bring you to salvation and begin a good work in you:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians+1%3A6&version=KJV
6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun
a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus
Christ:

You're not strong enough to derail His plans for your life. Nor is
the enemy. So just keep relying upon Him and He'll bring you out of
and through everything the enemy throws at you. It may hurt. There
may (will) be worldly loss, but your spirit and soul are His target
for being strengthened, grown up (maturing), and improving in service
to Him, much as we go through school and training here on Earth, so
He takes us through something similar spiritually.

I love each of you ... which is why I teach you these things.

It's saying that grace is not a quid-pro-quo. Penance follows naturally
from grace, not the reverse.

Exactly. James expounds on this as well. He says that faith without
works is dead, but it's not the works that led to faith, it's the
faith that leads to works.

When Jesus changes you on the inside by forgiving your sin, there is
a new spiritual life. That new spiritual life has a natural draw and
pull toward God, and away from sin.

It remains in our flesh, fallen in sin, corrupt, that draws us to sin,
and away from God.

It's the constant battle, and it takes many Christians down because
the pull of the flesh is real. Even Paul, imbued by God with certain
knowledge of His Kingdom, visited by Jesus Himself in visions, who had
the Lord speaking to Him directly in answer to prayers, etc., was also
still troubled by a thorn in His flesh, a messenger of Satan sent to
buffet him continually.

He inquired of the Lord asking for that thorn to be taken away, and
the Lord replied after the third plea in prayer, "My grace is
sufficient," meaning it will not be taken away, but any sin you
commit because of that thorn buffeting you, it will be covered by
his grace.

Verse 17:
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James+2%3A14-26&version=KJV

Verse 9:
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Corinthians+12%3A7-10&version=KJV

When truth-seeking people take time to learn about the Bible, and the
Lord, and sin, and God, and everything therein related, it does make
sense because God opens up your understanding to receive it.

But for those who are not seeking the truth, who are looking for fault
in it, who are looking to supplant Biblical knowledge with personal
beliefs as to what truth is, there is a barrier erected between them-
selves and God, and that barrier prevents them from coming to any kind
of knowledge of the truth.

Besides you being a dishonest liar, you also make completely ridiculous
arguments. You seem to be preaching to completely imaginary people who
already believe in the existence of your god, but seem to have all kinds
of weird ideas about him, such as "god will not forgive me for my sins,
I'm doomed". It's like you are preaching to a strange choir.

WTF are you smoking? Those people do not exist.

I've asked you before, Juha, on what basis do you conclude I am a
dishonest liar? It's very easy to make statements. Are you able
to back this up with facts?

As a Christian who acknowledges sin exists, and the side-effects
of sin at work in my life, I can tell you that in my flesh I am
only deceitful continually. But I am also born again, and it is
my spirit I pursue, and God's Holy Spirit, and whereas I do still
at times make mistakes and operate in my flesh rather than in my
spirit, it is not my desire, it is not my intent, it is not part
of any of my goals, and it is not something I advocate anyone be
a part of.

Jesus teaches us to do all things right. It is that which I also
teach people.

Don't do wrong things.
Don't do deceitful things.
Don't teach wrong things.
Don't be a party to wrong things.
Stand up for what's right.
Teach people what's right.
Be honest and truthful in everything you're a part of.

Those are the things Jesus teaches, and those are also the things I
advocate, both for myself, and for all people.

Does Jesus want that all men should come to repentance?

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Peter+3%3A8-10&version=KJV
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men
count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing
that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Did Jesus command to go ye therefore into all the world and teach?

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+28%3A18-20&version=KJV
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is
given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded
you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the
world. Amen.

-----
Did He say go to the "religious places?" Go to the places where
"religion" is on topic? Or did He says go ye therefore into all
the world and make disciples?

I will trust in the Lord's guidance ahead of all others because
IT IS JESUS CHRIST ALONE WHO GIVES MEN ETERNAL LIFE.

It's important, Daniel. It supersedes other things. All of them,
because everybody has an appointment with death, and none of us
know with surety in which second that appointment will fall upon us.

-----
Do you know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, Daniel? If not, then
I am exactly in the right place. If so, then join in with me to
reach the rest of those here who do not yet know Him as Lord and
Savior so their sin will not overtake them on the day of judgment.

Stop lying to yourself, Jesus is not the reason of your bad behavior.

* How you think what is the likelihood of anyone disrespectful towards
audience of making disciples?
* Was Jesus himself impolite with listeners somewhere?
* Did He suggest anywhere others to behave rudely with people?

Judge for yourself. Here He's speaking to the Jewish leaders of
the day, those most likely to be part of His Kingdom by all Earthly
understanding:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+23%3A27-28&version=KJV

27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are
like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful
outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of
all uncleanness.
28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but
within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

Here he tells a great multitude following Him that they must hate
their father, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters, even their
own life, in order to be His disciple:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+14%3A25-35&version=KJV

25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and
said unto them,
26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother,
and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and
his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me,
cannot be my disciple.
...
33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all
that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

Note: There's a great teaching on this passage here:
"It Will Cost You Everything" -- Steve Lawson
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxnCD-yffWo

> * Did He suggest anywhere others to behave rudely with people?

The things we (Christians) teach are offensive to our flesh. The
teachings are not given for those who are perishing, but for those
who will be saved.

God's words are spirit and they are life, and all who can hear them
will come out and be saved:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+6%3A37-39&version=KJV
37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me;...

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+10%3A27-28&version=KJV
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:...

> * Do you at least against all odds make any followers by being blunt?

Speaking the truth is commanded by the Lord. It is who He is, it is
what He calls us to, and the truth is the only thing that will work
when dealing with salvation against sin:

(1) All are sinners (Romans 3:23)
(2) All who come to Jesus will be saved (John 6:37)
(3) They have passed (past tense) from death to life, and will
not be judged (John 5:24).

This is information all people need. It is the only way to get out
of this world alive. It is more important than Usenet etiquette, for
example. It is crucial information of such grand importance, even if
the people the information is coming to do not realize it.

Only those given to Jesus Christ will hear these words and know they
are true, and come out from the world, and repent, and ask for their
sin to be forgiven, and be saved.

> * How many pupils have you made with such abusive behavior during
> all those years?

None that I am aware of.

> * Isn't it madness that you do same thing over and over in all these

It is madness to deny the living God, and to pursue "paths of wisdom"
other than His, for all of His only lead to truth, and all other of
alternate "wisdom" leads only to eternal Hellfire.

Even for those who cannot see this now, on the great day of judgment
they will know, and this testimony will be before all of their eyes,
and it will ring the word of truth they'll then know before their
life as a witness against them, for the truth was spoken to them, and
yet they denied it.

-----
These words of Christ will either lead to absolute salvation of a
person's eternal soul, or it will lead to testimony in their judgment.
In either way, these words are affecting every person's soul for all
of eternity. It is only the fool who will reject them, turn their
back on Jesus Christ, and purposefully dive headlong into Hellfire's
flames. Only the fool.

All who are wise will take heed of these words and ask forgiveness
and receive salvation for free.

I reach out to reach the wise, Öö Tiib, not to reach the foolish.

I did not suggest you to deny your God. All what I tried to tell
with those questions was that you have to respect other people
in order to expect them to listen you.

My impression is that all wise people have kill-filed you (because
of your repulsive behavior). Only few fools who have nothing better
to do like me read you now and then.

It is not me they are not hearing. It is the message. They
will not hear the truth ... so there is nothing I can do except
persist in teaching because for everyone saved, there was also a
time before they were saved.

There are two kinds of wisdom: worldly, and spiritually.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+3%3A18&version=KJV

18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you
seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a
fool, that he may be wise.

The wisdom of God is foolishness to those who are without
spiritual discernment, without the spirit:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+2%3A14&version=KJV

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the
Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him:
neither can he know them, because they are spiritually
discerned.

A person must seek the truth, honestly and truly, so that God
will enable them to find it.

This current age is fast approaching its end. Biblical signs are
everywhere. Get on board today, while you still can.

People call it spam today because they cannot imagine a future
day where they will be summoned by name to stand before God and
give an account of their life, being judged for their sin.

On that day everyone will know what I tried to do here by pointing
people to Jesus Christ, to ask forgiveness for their sin and be
saved.

Until then, all those who are not being saved will continue to
see no value in Jesus Christ, in being saved, and will mock me,
Him, the whole idea as ludicrous, calling on me to stop causing
them harm and annoyance.

But God is not constrained by man's sinful state of ignorance
to eternal things. He commands us to follow Him, not sinful
man.

These messages are for people's best well-being and future,
Daniel. They will not be voluntarily silenced by me no matter
how many people in pursuit of sin instead of Christ stand up
and say, "Be quiet, Rick."

When the Lord calls me Home, then will I be silent on Earth.
Until that time I will continue to point people to the foot of
the cross, teaching them about Jesus offering them eternal life
for free.

It is the proper thing to do with one's time.

Ever hear about the five who didn't make it, Daniel? They
had the appearance of being Christians, but no substance,
nothing real. Only facades.

This parable is about us. Jesus will return and who will
be ready? The one ready today, right now, because we do not
know the time. We must be ready at all times, continually
in service to Him. He is worthy of our life's labor.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+25%3A1-13&version=KJV
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten
virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to
meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took
no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and
slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the
bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil;
for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be
not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them
that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and
they that were ready went in with him to the marriage:
and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord,
Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I
know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the
hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

I wish that vs. 10 locking out end on no one. I desire that all
would be saved.

People are so beautiful, so amazing. I want every person
set free from sin and thriving in eternity, living "happily ever
after," as it were.

Psalm 100

http://biblehub.com/kjv/psalms/100.htm

Shout for Joy to the Lord, All You Lands!

1 {A Psalm of praise.} Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

3 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not
we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with
praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth
endureth to all generations.

-----
There is love, peace, and joy in the house of the Lord, but only when
you keep your eyes focused on Him. If you begin looking around at the
things of the world, they will quickly pull you under. But when you
look up to Him, and keep looking up, there you find your peace, because
only there is your salvation.

Remember also ... Peter walked on water too, but only when he was
looking at the Lord!

http://biblehub.com/kjv/matthew/14.htm

28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me
come unto thee on the water.
29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship,
he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning
to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him,
and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou
doubt?
32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying,
Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

Jesus will save your eternal soul, and give you eternal life. All you
have to do is trust and believe.

Best regards,

Asshole, read this:

A request for each of you

Original post : https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.os.development/nvGbmY74C-4

To my fellow "Usenet group"ies:

I come before you today with a request for each of you. I ask
you to give it an ear and ponder it in your heart. Consider it
for a time each day and think about what it means to the baseline
fundamental views we hold in our lives.

-----
My request is that you consider what this means to your self-
image: You were created. You do have a purpose. You were not
an accident of random chance in this universe. You were, instead,
specifically and purposefully hand-crafted by God, hand-placed
into this world where you are, with a purpose to have a real im-
pact upon this world. To further realize that within the creation
of your existence, the one creating you had a real purpose in do
doing. God created you with a goal of certain things He wants you
to do in this world, for example.

Think about this idea: That you were created, that you do have a
real purpose, and that you will go on after you leave this world,
and that you do have a choice today regarding how you will live
your life, and that the warning given you by your very creator is
that there is a real enemy here in this world, responsible for all
that we see wrong here, who seeks to mislead you, trick you, trap
you, and ultimately destroy your soul by leading you away from God,
but if you will give God an ear, and stop hardening your heart
toward Him, that He will guide you not only to safety in this world,
but to the fullest, richest prosperity in Him.

Think about this. Read it a few times. Make sure you get a clear
understanding: You were created specifically by God. You have a
real purpose, and there are two paths before you: one leading to
forgiveness for the wrong you've done, to be a part of God's plan
for your life, one that keeps you unforgiven in the wrong you've
done and is leading away from God and God's plan for your life.

-----
God created you for greatness. He loves you. He will lead and
guide and protect and save you from all evil. But He also honors
you too much to violate His greatest gift to you: your volition.
He will not violate your free will to choose. But look into Him
and see how He's revealed Himself through His Son. The Bible
gives us a view of God that explains things in a way which really
resonates on the inside if you're willing to receive it. But if
you harden your heart, it will always only be a book of laughable
tales and fantasies.

The choice is yours, but the truth speaks to you. You were God's
creation. You were made special. You do have a purpose. And
you will go on after you leave this world. God has a plan for you
and will save you from everything bad, and give you a real and
secure future that dwells in fullest, richest prosperity for you,
His beloved and held dear, most special creation.
