amen there won't be no time to post a warning, to make a phone to warn others, and no time to ask and seek forgivenss, so its time to get ready and stay ready for the Lord's return is soon.

Grant...You've Provided a Very Powerful Message in a Very Brief Manner!  i Don't Know Why Christ Jesus Has Shown Me Such Grace To Allow Me To Live Whenever i Was in the Act of  Practicing Sin.  It is His Choice (Prerogative) Whether or Not to Allow Us to Die While Practicing Sin.  This Would Not be a Very Healthy Thing For Me To Die While Practicing Sin.
   {Grant...Will You Please Write a Response to my Statements Above.  i Know What i am Trying to Say, but, i am Not Totaly Clear About How to Say it...Thank You,  (Bro-ken)  Brother Ken  ORR.

Do not fear Ken. You will sin, but your heart is not set on it, I believe. That's what the Bible is really referring to when it talks of those who continue to sin. It is not just the "practice" of sin that there remains no more sacrifice for, but the heart that is set upon sin. Yours is not I believe. It's like Paul said,
7:14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin. 7:15 I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. 7:16 Now if I do what I do not want, I agree that the law is good. 7:17 So then it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me. 7:18 For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. 7:19 For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do. 7:20 Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me.

I take comfort from what Martin Luther's bishop said before Martin left the Catholic Church. Martin kept the poor man in the confession booth for hours, wanting to confess every last sin. Finally, the gentleman said, Martin, it is all covered by the blood of Jesus, we don't have to confess every last detail, or something like that.
