Hi Ward,
but sin that dwelleth in me-qoute.
EXACTLY THE ISSUE HERE.
GOD IS PERFECT.
GOD TURNED HIS BACK ON THE SON AND COULD NOT LOOK AT SIN WHEN JESUS TOOK OUR SIN UPON HIM.
TO THINK THAT WE>>>CAN ENTER HEAVEN<<< "WITH SIN IN US"
GOD SAYS OTHERWISE.
HOWEVER.... WE HAVE AN ATTONEMENT FOR OUR SIN.
4GIVENESS BY *ASKING.
THIS IS WHY SUICIDE MORE THEN LIKELY A PERSON WILL NOT GO TO HEAVEN.....BECAUSE ITS THE ONE SIN....that you cant ask for 4giveness AFTER you do it. Again, very straightforward logic.
God says satan is a lier and murderer from the beginning.
If A LIE, will cause us to MURDER our own selves.
ANY DOCRTINE that would promote it, (Not be against it) is not of the truth. John14:6 THINK IT *THROUGH.
It is a puzzling thing. The truth knocks on the door and you say, "Go away, I'm looking for the truth," and so it goes away. Puzzling.
