Someone in this ministry im desperate and need help and i dont think im even saved. thanks for helping me with the unpardonable sin a few days ago on here, i just one thing now. When I commented in the past you said my arrogant vows could be forgiven and i know it's true and other godly people within this ministry and elswhere told me the same but I don't know what to do with these verses. I think of Matthew 23:16-22 plus OT verses like Psalm 15:4, and Ecclesiastes 5:1-7, and Proverbs 20:25. I know we are under the New Covenant but these seem like general statements and not laws or maybe univerals or moral laws? James 4:13-17 was a comfort as well as James 5:12 and but the sermon on the Mount doesn't forbid promises like I hoped due to Paul's promises and Jesus speaking under oath so I'm not sure if I can ask for forgiveness if it was never a sin to make one in the first place. I made hundreds of unwise vows and to me any vow I regret was unwise even if some people might say they are good. How do i use Scripture to know they are annulled and that i didn't willfully sin by asking to be released and forgiven without trying to fulfill any? People say you use God's name in vain due to Matthew 23:16-22, some promises also popped into my mind during prayer which would be in Gods name too. if its true i still feel like i misused His name since i used it in an unwise way. if my promises are regretful I think how in an unequally yoked marriage how you are required to stay even though it was a sin to begin with. These Vows are mostly intrusive thoughts but i believe i said some outloud and purposely. I know Proverbs 6 and Numbers 30 talk about being released but i dont really fit. I understand swearing in court, signing legal documents, marriage, etc. I'm not sure if these promises could count as lying or maybe hurting God's witness in the sight of unbelievers either. I also looked at the westminster confession but what they said on promises doesnt seem the best for me. What should I do? I have other people respond saying the Bible doesn't speak on being freed in my situation. Example of types of promises I made - never drink alcohol, never travel, never go to church, get a certain degree, never use electricity, read 1000 books, never read again, get a certain job, move to a certain place, learn mulitple languages, practice my instrument for a certain amount each day, never play an instrument again. I have made probably close to 300 of these types of promises and still make them daily. I have people telling me to move on and then others saying I have to follow them unless they cause me to sin.
This is exactly what happened to me with such vivid explanation with the exact same progression... I really need to leave the Churches of Christ before it's teachings start to pull me away from the truth... If only there were reformed churches in my country... I need fellowship with real Christians 😔
I still battle with the church of Christ.. I feel brainwashed and I love the brethren and im always anxious and worried about being condemned. But I believe the word of god. And what I’ve seen and heard and read is very different from them. So pray pray for reassurance from the Holy Spirit and the comfort and love he brings, and ask him for his conviction, certain conviction if you are wrong.
I wish someone would clip 27:27-29:05 WOW!!!!! I would replay that clip over and over. When he talked about the Spirit opening your eyes to see Christ. Amazing.
I was taught for a long time that speaking in tongues is the only mark of the Spirit. But today I know better. I have the Spirit of Christ abiding in me. Blessed be the name of the Lord!
Amen I say Amen! Our loving awesome and most holy God and Savior is amazing and so wonderful! Oh how I love Him and am so thankful for my salvation through Christ Jesus my Lord and King!
Yes Lord! Amen to this whole sermon! Thank you Brother for this good word!
Amen!
Perfect love this sermon
