Sin IS still sin, but a Christian is a Child of the Promise.  There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. What is important is that you change you soul to agree with your spirit.

Blessings,

Rita

For me, my soul is my mind. To grow spiritually, I think that we need to allow our spirit to teach our soul in the right way. For example, when we err, the Holy Spirit corrects us, but making us know we have erred. I say something ugly to you that you do not deserve. The Holy Spirit corrects me. The next time I speak to you, I recall how the Holy Spirit corrected me.

I really think that if we call God's Words to mind when we start to do something that He would not like, and go another route, we are actually teaching our soul to not speak harmfully to another.

I might have to make a telephone call to someone I am unhappy with. If I consciously remember to speak kindly to them, even though I am mad, when I actually talk to them, I have tempered my tongue and I realize that the situation is working out because of my tempering what I really wanted to say.

In turn they speak kinder to me and we can work things out. The point is to teach our soul to do God's Will and way, instead of what we might have wanted to say in the first place.

Blessings,

Rita

There some doctrines out there that preaches that you could back sliding Christian or you lose your salvation. I use to believe that myself, but I got curious and research the word of God and ask a lot of questions myself.  I came across those scriptures that some people may interpret as you can loose your salvation, but those scriptures are a stretch.

 

The scriptures that back up and confirm the Eternal Security or Once saved always saved: John 3:15-18, John 10:28-30, Roman 8:38-39, Ephesian 4:30, and Jude 24

I thought same thing you did and it took me over an year of research to realize that Jesus died for our sins for the Past, present and future.  The scriptures backs it up, that is were the truth is at.  There is no where in the Bible that talks about Back sliden Christians.  Because of Jesus, we are blood bought.

In the Old Testament it describes the sin and the  particular remedy for the sin. In the New Testament it describes one remedy for all sin.

You mentioned Judas. Judas was the son of perdition, not because of his suicide, but because he didn't follow Christ.

You mentioned Saul. If Saul went to hell, it was because he didn't follow Christ (God).

You mentioned Samson. He used his gift unwisely in many cases, as well as for good. He gave his life destroying the Philistines, who were enemies of God.

The Bible says there is no greater love than the man who gives up his life for a friend. In Samson's case, he gave up his life for the purpose of God. 

I see no where in the Bible where it says a person goes to hell for suicide. I do see over and over where a person goes to hell for not believing in Christ, not following God.

Blessings, Rita
