Scripture Memory Songs - That You May Know (1st John 5: 12-13)

[IshallflywhenIdie]

GOD is the one who determines who goes to Hell or Heaven.

We have no right to judge but I'm just calling it as the Bible plainly portrays the reality of the situation.

Again I TRY to learn from my sins and TRY not to repeat them even though many atimes I fall into bad habits which are hard to stop, only through sheer determination and God's grace can we overcome temptation.

It's hard, it's real hard.

It's frustrating in a way. Truthfully speaking

Thanks for your kind reply.  I wasn't trying to say that those who willfully sin will be saved. I was thinking about what Paul said - that at times when people sin ignorantly, God 'winks' at it. Isaiah says that God thinks differently to us. We look on outward appearances, but God looks on the heart. When Jesus saved Mary from the pharisees, He told her to 'sin no more.' He didn't condone her sin, but He didn't leave her die in her sin either. In Jesus we can choose not to sin.

With all due respect, it seems like many of you guys really don't take Hell seriously

GOD is not fun and games, the demons know how horrible and frequent GOD's punishment on sin is.

I am in no way a Saint I struggle with sin day in an day out I don't deny the severity of Hell.

Yes Jesus did not leave the lady in her sin to die but this poor misguided porn star died in her sins, the only way she could have made it is if she repented just before dying and GOD had mercy and forgave her

The fact is is that almost all humans are going to hell, but people don't realize that.

God's standards are very high.

I repeat I am as much a sinner as the next man and I hate my sins.

I rely on God's mercy and pray that He helps me and everyone else including you stay away from sin completely.

Jesus said if I look at a woman with lust, I have sinned.

Tell me, how many men do that everyday?

The point is entering heaven is HARDER THAN PEOPLE THINK IT IS.

@IshallflywhenIdie Entering Heaven through His grace is easy. Entering with out it is impossible. Many perish due to lack of knowlege. Many don't know about His offer of Grace through Jesus and still many more believe that some degree of works justifies them. Many will beg and cry that they just didn't know when standing before Him in judgment. Sadly Jesus will not be able to help them and they will be lead away in shock. I can't imagine living this real life HORROR story. But many will.

Do not trouble your kind heart. Jesus is the judge - we are not. He didn't even condemn Mary Magdalene when she was found in adultery. Would He judge this poor lady less compassionately? She was wounded. God does not judge as we do. Many will say "Lord, Lord" who won't be saved. Who are we to judge? She might have had the spirit of Jesus in her heart but not understood what she was doing was wrong. Many 'sex workers' fall into this way of life because they are sexually abused as children.

I understand where you are coming from but the way it works is

You die in your sins, you go to hell. End of story.

I don't want people to get the wrong idea that it's all fun and games because it's not.
