Religion & Spirituality

According to Romans 5: 12 sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread like a disease to all men/women.

So, in other words , sin which means " miss the goal that God had for mankind, which was everlasting life on earth, has been postponed for the moment."

John 3: 16 and 1 John 3: 8 reminds us that God has paid a high price to redeem the human race from the curse of sin and death and to undo all the damage cause by Satan, in the garden of Eden. Read Genesis 3: 1-5

Psalm 37: 29 shows that the righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it, which has always been God's purpose and has not changed.

John 17: 3reminds us "that everlasting life belongs to those, becoming familiar with the only true God and the one He sent, Jesus Cgrist.

So to answer your question, which is " What does God think of sin?.

Well ! John 3: 16 shows that God loved the world so much that he gaved his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyes but have everlasting life. Not in heaven but on earth as confirmed in Psalms 37: 29.

Jonh 5: 28,29 talks about the dead who are in the memorial tombs ( God's memory ) .

The Bible speaks about our resurrection which literally means " a standing up again" and it refers to a rising up from death.

The meaning of the word "Sin" is miss the goal. The goal of God was that we remain perfect and live forever on earth.

Genesis 2: 17 shows that Adam had the choice to live or die. Adam knew that if he did not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and bad, he would not die.

That command in Genesis 2: 17 would have made no sense, if Adam was meant to grow old and die anyway.

Our sinful situation has brought suffering and death on mankind. Read Romans 5: 12

Galatians 5: 19-21 show what our sinful flesh leads us to " Sexual immorality, uncleannes, brazen conduct, jealousy, fits of anger and so forth... These are the things that usually seperate us from God.

However, Galatians 5: 1 encourages us to stand firm against such conduct, and to be no longer confined in a yoke of slavery but to choose the freedom set by Christ Jesus.

The freedom set by Jesus in Galatians 5: 22,23 is the spirit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.

To be no longer seperated from God, the Book of John 17: 3 gives us the solution in these words. " This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

Taking in knowledge basically means becoming better acquainted with God and His Son, who was sent to earth to redeem the human race from sin and death and to undo all the damage caused by Satan. Read John 3: 16; 1 John 3: 8.

So to answer your question, which is " How does sin seperate man from God? " Well ! the answer can be found in the scriptures written above.

In other words, our choice of conduct shows which side we have chosen to be on. God's way or His opposer's way. Adam and Eve had that choice, just as we also have that choice.

Calvinism, a major branch of Protestantism based on the teachings of John Calvin, has millions of adherents worldwide. While exact numbers are difficult to determine, estimates suggest that there are several million Calvinists globally, primarily in countries like the United States, South Korea, and parts of Europe. The movement includes various denominations such as Reformed, Presbyterian, and Congregationalist churches.

Spiritual morals are the morals set by the Most High, who is no One else but the Creator of mankind, and has our best interest.Read Isaiah 48: 17 18.

The Book of Galatians 5: 22 , 23 give us a clear vision of what is moral in God's eyes, called the fruitage of spirit. " The fruitage of spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control. Against such things there is no law."

So to answer your question, which is " What does spiritual morals mean?

The answer is : Spiritual morals refer to qualities that God's holy spirit, active force and qualities, mentioned in Galatians 5: 22,23 can produce in humans.

The Book of Galatians chapter 5 gives a good description of what is good and what is bad. That being said, good people can by mistake do bad things and bad people can sometimes do good things, if there is some kind of advantage to get out of it.

Good things according to Galatians 5: 22 ,23 in the Bible is called the fruitage of spirit. ( God's spirit )It is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Bad things according to Galatians 5: 19-21 is called the works of the flesh, which are: sexual immorality, uncleanness, brazen conduct, idolatry, spiritism, hostility, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, dissensions, divisions, sects, envy, drunkenness, wild parties,...

These practices such as strife, jealousy envy and fits of anger lead to the having of poor health, such as heart attacts, Sexual immorality can bring a lot of pressure on the family and so forth..

So it is important to clearify what is evil practice and what is an evil person.

2 Timothy 3: 16,17 teaches that the Bible is a letter from God and is beneficial for our teaching, so that we can be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.

An evil person is someone who takes great delight in harming others. it could be associated with someone who is deficient in empathy and so much more.

To be a good person, we have to put our focus on what is good practice, with the determination to making it part of our life. Because as the Bible quotes in 1 John 5: 19 that the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one, and Revelation 12: 9 describes the wicked one as the original serpent, called the Devil and Satan who is misleading the entire inhabited earth, which makes it quite a struggle to always do what is good.

So the saying that good can exist without evil means that evil cannot come out of a good person. But evil can come out of a person, who had the best intention to start with.

Example:

Human governments have done a lot of harm with the best intention for his own country to the detrimemnt of another countries.

The Book of Jeremiah 10. 23 reads. " It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step. History has shown that they do a poor job when it comes to solving people's problems. Humans were not created to rule themselves, because even with the best intention they sometimes create greater difficulties.

The Best Spiritual Advisor is the One who has the best interest of human kind. And that advisor is no one else but the Creator of mankind.

That being said. That advisor has given mankind "His Word" that is no one else but His precious Son Jesus Christ. Isaiah 9: 6 calls him " The Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace".

Psalm 37: 29 tells us what our future holds, in these words The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it, which has always been God's purpose for mankind, but has been postponed for the moment.

However He has given mankind enough time to prove that it does not belong to man even to guide his steps, as confrimed in Jeremiah 10: 23. We have done a poor job so far.

So to answer your question, which is: " What is a spiritual advisor?

Well ! A spiritual advisor is someone who has higher qualities than any human being and has our best interest, and that person is no one else but the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who confirms that he is the way. Read John 14: 6

Salvation means the release of someone's life, from the undesirable circonstence.

The high price that was paid is the "ransom". It is the price that covers in payment for the damage or to satisfy justice.

2'000 years ago God ent his precious to earth to redeem the human race from the curse of sin and death and to undo the damage caused by Satan. Read John 3: 16; 1 John 3: 8.

The ransom is the way that God has chosen to reconcile the human race with him. John 17: 3 reads " This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

Which means, increasing knowledge of God and Christ and a growing trust in them, clearly necessitates more than knowing that they exist. It involves knowing what God and His Son Jesus Christ likes ans dislikes ,their purpose, values and standards. Read 1 John 2: 3.

So to answer your question, which is. " What does salvation bring about between God and man?" The answer is: It brings the opportunty of everlasting life on earth, to all those who make the effort to live up to God's requirements. Psalm 37: 29.reads: The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it.

That opportunity was given to the first couple, but unfortunately they have chosen to listen to someone else.

Genesis chapter 3 and Roman 5: 12 is mankind's history

Here is what the Bible has to say concerning God's creation.

According to the Book of Hebrew 3: 4 " Every house is constructed by someone, but he that constructed all things is God.--Including the whole physical universe, all living creatures.

Here are some things to think about.

Our world is filled with so many marvelous things:

Big things such as a setting sun, tower trees, oceans...

Little things such as a tiny bird, a warbler, flying high over the Atlantic directed by its migrating instinct.

Ingenious things such as bats that use sonor, Eels that make electricity. Guls that desalt seawater, wasps that make paper, termites that install air conditioners.

Simple things such as a kind word, a tiny flower, the singing of a bird and so much more...

Revelation 4: 11 reads. " You are worthy, Jehovah our God, to receive the glory and the honour and the power because you created all things, and because of your will they came into existence and were created.

So, the Bible confirms your statement that "God created living things".

Humans are physical creatures and God is a spirit creature. Deuternomy 10: 14 confirms that the heavens belong to God.

The Bible describes God as a Potter. Isaiah 64: 8 reads. " O Jehovah, you are our Father, we are the clay, and you are our Potter".

The first Book of the Bible, Genesis 2: 7 reads. " And Jehovah God went on to form the man out of dust from the ground". Facts show that the human body is composed of all what can be found in the ground.

Romans 9: 21 questions mankind in these words. " Does not the Potter have authority over the clay? Well ! the simple philosophy( wisdom ) of that question is to accept the facts of life, which is that mankind needs to be guided by more intelligent than them, as it is confirmed in Jeremiah 10: 23

Romans 1: 18-32 draws this conclusion. " Ungodly people are inexcusable because God's qualities can be seen in His creation, which is well organized. And there is no superb organization without a superb organizer. What man is now learning about the univers and about our planet Earth has left them him stunned.

Humans have been side-tracked from their great Creator for generations, and God has given them enough time to come to the conclusion of what is written in Jeremiah 10: 23 in these words. " It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.

2'000 years ago, God sent his percious Son on earth to redeem the human race from the curse of sin and death and to undo the damage caused by Satan. Read John 3: 16; 1 John 3: 8.

Genesis chapter 3 and Romans 5: 12 is mankind's history. Which explains why our beautiful planet Earth is in such a mess.

The meaning of the word " Sin" is miss the goal. God's goal and purpose for the human race was that they live forever on earth.

God did not create our planet for nothing but formed it to be inhabited, which is confirmed in the Book of Isaiah 45: 18.

So to answer your question, which is " What is the philosophy of man and God? Well ! many people today have chosen to live without God's guide lines, and have chosen the way of life described in 2 Timothy 3: 1-5 in these words. " Men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, without self-control and so forth.....

Galates 6: 7 warns us that we must not be misled: God is not to be mocked. For whatever a person is sowing, this he will also reap. However God's purpose has not changed. Psalms 37: 29 reads that "the righteous will possess the earth and they will live forever on it. Which is the goal and promise of the great Potter.

Thinkers who ponder over questions about life are those who would like to know if being born, living up to 70/80 agitated years, then dying, if this is all it is to life.

Those people should know that it is quite normal to be intrigued with the meaning of life.

The Book of Ecclesiastes 3: 11 shows that God has made everything beautiful in its time, and that he has put eternity in our heart. So the fact that there are people pondering over the meaning of life is quite in harmony with what we are made of. We were created to live forever.

Genesis 2: 15-17 shows when God created Adam and Eve , His purpose was everlasting.

Genesis chapter 3 shows that they chose to follow a different course of life. Suffering and finally death was the penalty of such choice, confirmed in Genesis 3: 16-19.

So all those ponders out there, with their intriguing questions, have to know that the one and only philosopher who has the answers to our questions is Jehovah God. The Bible is His letter for mankind, it is the way God has chosen to communicate with the human race, confirmed in 2 Timothy 3: 16,17.

The Bible is a library of 66 Books, which answers questions such as: Why did God create humans, what our future holds, why do we suffer and finally die and so much more.

Psalm 37: 29 has this to say. " The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it".

So to answer your question, which is " Thinkers who ponder over questions about life are called "being normal" because our world is filled with so many marvelous things. And what man is now learning about the universe has left him stunned by the superb organization. And a superb organization requires a superb organizer. So there is a lot to ponder over.

Romans 1: 18-32 shows that ungodly people are inexcusable, not to ponder over God's qualities seen in creation.

The Book of Galatians 5 gives the perfect illustration of the origin of good and bad,

According to Galatians 5: 1 we can be under the yoke of slavery, which constasts with freedom. Verse 4 shows that when we are seperated from Christ, we have fallen away from his undersrved kindness.

Galatians 5: 13 reads. " You were called to freedom brothers; only do not use this freedom as an opportunity to pursue fleshly desires. Verse 16 invites us to keep walking by spirit and we will carry out no fleshly desire at all. Which means there are two kinds of spirits. Fleshly spirit and Christ's spirit. Verse 17 shows that these two are opposed to each other.

According to Galatians 5: 19,20 the works of flesh are sexual immorality, uncleanness, brazen conduct, idolatry, spiritism, hostility, strif, jealousy, fits of anger, dissensions, division, sects, envy, drunkenness, wild parties and things like these.

Galatians 5: 22,23 shows on the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit of Christ is: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control. Against such things there is no law. Verse 26 invites us to not become egotistical, stirring up competition with one another, envying one another.

The idea of being egotistical literally conveys the idea of " empty glory; vainglory." Having exaggerated self- conceptions, conceited, boastful. This suggests a strong desire to receive praise from others for valueless, empty reasons.

So your idea which is" where there is good there is evil". The Scriptures above shows that it results from our choice and state of mind. We can poison our mind with poisonous thinking which will result in bad actions or we can choose as Christ's followers to put the sinful human nature to death. All those who choose to belong to Christ should decisively put away " the works of the flesh" mentioned at Galatians 5: 19-21 .

Psalm 37: 29 describes what our future holds in these words. " The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it, which has always been God's purpose for our planet Earth.

God's purpose has been postponed and His government ( His kingdom ) will undo all the harm that millenniums of human rule have done. Read Revelation 19: 15, 17, 18

When Jesus was on earth he taught us to pray for God's kingdom to come, where his Father's will, will be done as in heaven also on earth. Read Matthew 6: 9,10

Galatians 5:

After the Flood, Naoh's sons and their wives had many children. Their families grew, and they began to spread to different parts of the earth.

But some of the families did not obey God and decided to build a city and stay there. They wanted to build a tower so tall that its top will reach all the way to heaven. They wanted to become famous.

The fact that God was not happy with their plan, He suddenly made them speak different languages and so they could no longer understand one another. And the city that had been building became known as Babel, which means confusion. Read Genesis 11: 1-9

Luke 18: 14 reminds us that " Everyone who exals himself will be humiliated, but whoever humbles himself will be exalted."

The lesson that we can all learn is, all those who want to do things their way , without taking into consideration God's requirements will fail. Jeremiah 10: 23 reminds us that it does not belong to man/woman who is walking even to direct his/her step.

History has shown that they do a poor job. Humans were not created to rule themselves. Governments are unable to handle the universal enemies of poverty, hunger, disease, natural disaster, and war or other violence.

God's plan is to put in place His government, called the kingdom of God, that will undo all the harm that millenniums of human rule have done. Read Revelation 19: 17,18.

So to answer your question, which is" What is the curse of Babel? The curse is that mankind was created to speak one language and communicate with each other in harmony with God's requirements and is no longer the case. Today we are living in a world of confusion, but God's word the Bible can help us to live in harmony, if we humbly accept His teaching.

2 Timothy 3: 16,17reminds us that God's word is beneficial for our teaching, so we can become fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.

Psalm 37: 29 shows what our future holds in these words. " The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it". Which has always been God's purpose, that has been postponed for the moment.

The Book of Galatians 5 gives a clear description of good and evil.

The good things are written in Galatians 5: 22,23 which are: Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Bad things are written in Galatians 5: 19,-21 which are: sexual immorality, uncleanness, spiritism, hostility, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, dissensions, divisions, sects, envy, drunkenness, wild parties and things like these....

These kinds of practice, does not honour God who has given us the gift of life. Revelation 4: 11 reads: " You are worthy Jehovah our God to receive the glory and the honour and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they came into existence and were created. "

Good or evil is a choice of life.

According to the Bible suffering started the day when the first couple Adam and Eve decided to no longer take into consideration God's requirements. Read Genesis 3: 1-5; 16-19.

According to Genesis 2: 15-17 God created them with everything needed to live forever. Adam knew that if he did not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and bad, he would not die.

The penalty was suffering and death if he ate from the tree, and that is what happened.

So to answer your question, which is "When did suffering start? The answer is found in the first Book of the Bible in Genesis chapter 3 and Romans 5: 12, which reads: " That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because they had all sin.

The meaning of the word "SIN" is miss the goal. God's goal was for mankind to live forever and to take good care of the earth, as confirmed in Genesis 2: 15

According to 2 Timothy 3: 16,17, God's word equippes us,for us to be able set things straight, disciplines us in righteousness, helps us to become competent, completely equipped for every good work.

When we become equipped for every good work we avoid becoming like what is described in 2 Timothy 3: 1-5, such as lovers of money unthankful, disloyal, not open to any agreement, and so much more.

Another thing that the Bible teaches and is very important, is. It teaches why our world is in such a state, in 1 John 5: 19 and Revelation 12: 9. It reads: "That the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one. The wicked one is described in these words. "The original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth".

The Bible also teaches that it is God's kingdom( Government ) that will undo all the harm that millenniums of human rule have done. And it will provide : Perfect health, peace and security and a clean environment, for all those who take their stand for His government. Read Isaiah 33: 24; Revelation 21: 4; Isaiah 54:13; Micah 4: 4.

God's word also shows what our future holds in Psalm 37: 29 in these words. " The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it".Which has always been God's purpose, and is why he sent His precious Son to earth 2'000 years ago, to redeem the human race from the curse of sin and death and the damage caused by Satan.

Read John 3: 16; 1 John 3: 8

So to answer your question, which is, " What four things does God's word do?

The four things are:

1. knowledge that helps us to be successful in life.

2. Why our world is in such a state of turmoil.

3. God's solution to put an end to the suffering on earth.

4. What our future holds.

We can ask God for anything, as long it is in harmony with His will. Matthew 6: 9,10 shows that Jesus told us to pray to His Father, who is in heaven, for His will to take place as in heaven also on earth.

According to 2 Timothy 3: 16,17 God's word was written to be beneficial for us, so that we can be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 3: 1-5 describes what we should not be in these words. " Lovers of of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disloyal, without self-control and so forth.....

Galatians 5: 22,23 shows what is expected, according to God's requirements, which is the spirit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control. Against such things there is no law. And as we all know and confirmed in the Bible, in Galatians 6: 7. " We reap what we sow".

So to anaswer your question, which is " Is asking God for something okay? The answer is YES. God want us to be happy and helps us to make the best choice. But are we willing to listen to Him when he speaks to us through the knowledge of His WORD?

The Bible assures us that Jehovah God is near to all those calling on Him, to all who call on Him in truth... He hears their cry for help, confirmed in Psalm 145: 18,19; Philippians 4: 6; 1 Peter 5: 7.

Hearst denounced atheism in 1938 in a manhattan editorial. His castle is filled with artifacts of faith.

Everlasting life refers to God's purpose for makind that has been postponed for the moment, due to the fact that the first couple decided to not live up to God's requirements. Read Genesis 2: 15-17

Genesis chapter 3 and Romans 5: 12 is mankind's history, which explains the choice of the first couple. Read Genesis 3: 1-5.

The penalty pronounced by God, which was suffering and finally returning to dust, where they were taken from. Read Genesis 2: 7; 3: 16-19

2'000 years ago God sent his precious Son to earth to redeem the human race from the curse of sin and death and to undo the damage caused by Satan. Read John 3: 16; 1 John 3: 8;

1 Corinthians 15: 22 reads. " For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive".

Luke 19: 10 reads. " The Son of man came to seek and to save what was lost." And what was lost is the possibility to live forever. Jesus provided a perfect picture of his Father's mercy. Read John 14: 9

Jesus helped sinful people to want to change their ways and to follow him. Read Luke 5: 27,28

Jonh 17: 3 shows that everlasting life is about becoming familiar with the knowledge of the only true God, and the one whom he sent, Jesus Christ.

Sinful humans could please Jehovah God by accepting Jesus as their Lord and by following in his steps. If we did so, we would finally be set "free from sin." Read Romans 6: 14, 18, 22; John 8: 32

Psalm 37: 29 shows what our future holds, in these words. The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it, which has always been God's purpose.

Psalm 37: 9 reminds us what the future holds for evil people in these words. " For evil men will be done away with, But those hoping in Jehovah God will possess the earth".

So to answer your question, which is: What does life everlasting mean?

Life everlasting means that righteous people will have the opportunity to live on earth, take good care of it , without dying, which is why God created the human race. Read Genesis 2: 15.

When Jesus was on earth, he told us to pray for God's kingdom to come, where his Father's will, will be done as in heaven also on earth. Read Matthew 6: 9,10.

God's kingdom is the government that will undo all the harm that millenniums of human rule have done.

It will provide perfect health, peace and security, and a clean environment for those who choose to live up to God's requirements, that the first couple neglected to do. Read Isaiah 33: 24; Revelation 21: 4; Isaiah 54 : 13; Micah 4:4

There isn't a single book in Hinduism that exclusively teaches duty and obligation. Instead, the concept of dharma (righteous duty and responsibility) is explained across several important scriptures, each from a different perspective.

The Bhagavad Gita is perhaps the most famous text on duty. Lord Krishna instructs Arjuna to perform his responsibilities sincerely, without attachment to personal gain. The Gita teaches that fulfilling one's duty with integrity is a path to both personal growth and spiritual advancement.

The Srimad Bhagavatam expands on this idea by presenting real-life examples of kings, sages, devotees, and householders who faced difficult moral and spiritual choices. Through these stories, readers learn how duty, devotion, compassion, and character work together in practical life.

The Ramayana demonstrates duty through the lives of Lord Rama, Sita, Hanuman, and other characters, showing ideals of leadership, family responsibility, loyalty, and sacrifice.

Traditional texts such as the Manusmriti and various Dharma Shastras also discuss social and ethical obligations, although they are often studied within their historical and cultural context.

In my experience, the Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam complement each other beautifully. The Gita explains the philosophy of duty, while the Bhagavatam shows how those principles are lived in practice. Through my work with ISKCON Mayapur Store, I've found that many readers begin with the Bhagavad Gita and later turn to the Srimad Bhagavatam for a deeper understanding of dharma, devotion, and spiritual life.

If someone is looking for one place to start, I would recommend the Bhagavad Gita first, followed by the Srimad Bhagavatam for a broader and more practical exploration of Hindu teachings on duty and responsibility.

Well "Here is what the Bible assures us in Psalm 145: 18,19. "Jehovah God is near to all those calling on him, To all who call on him in truth. ( or in sincerity )

Prayer is an aspect of worship that shows our deep respect for God. It is the arrangement made by God for the humankind to communicate with him.

God wants us to pray to him. The Bible invites us in Philippians 4: 6 in these words. "In everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God".

1 Peter 5:7 shows that God really cares about us, and invites us to throw all our concerns and anxiety on him.

So to answer your question, which is " Can God hear us. The answer is yes, when we take our time to pray to him, at any time of the day, and in any place we happen to be. We do not have to fix an appointment with him.

God's loving care for the world is expressed in John 3: 16 in these words.

" For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life".

Everlasting life on earth has always been God's purpose for the human race. Read Genesis 2: 15-17.

Genesis chapter 3 and Romans 5: 12 is mankind's history, which eyplains why life is what it is today.

The ransom paid by God is the price paid by him to release the human race from the undesirable circumstances of sin and death

That loving care was shown by God by sending his beloved Son to earth 2'000 years ago, to redeem the human race from the curse of sin and death and to undo the damage done by Satan.

Read John 3: 16; 1 John 3: 8.

So to answer your question, which is "What do we call God's loving care for all the world? The answer is expressed in John 3: 16 . which is the gift of His Son to save all those who choose to live up to his requirements.

Psalms 37: 29 shows that the righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it. " But there will be destruction for all the wrong doers according to Psalm 37: 9-12

The fact that we have all lost our perfection, due to what the first couple, Adam and Eve have left us as an heritage, we are all sinners by definition. The meaning of the word "SIN " is the missing of the mark or goal.

The mark or goal that God had for the human kind in the first place, was everlasting life on earth. Read Genesis 2: 15-17. That purpose was postponed for the moment, which is why God sent His beloved Son on earth 2'000 years ago, to redeem the human race from the curse of sin and death and to undo all the damage done by Satan. Read John 3: 16; 1 John 3: 8.

Psalm 145: 18,19 explains that " Jehovah God is near to all those calling on him, To all who call on him in truth. ( or in sincerity )

God wants us to pray to him. Prayer is an aspect of worship that shows our deep respect for God. It is His arrangement that was put in place for us to communicate with Him.

According to Philippians 4: 6, which reads. " Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.

So to answer your question, which is: Does God hear sinners prayers?

The answer is: God listens to the prayers of sincere and truthful people, who have deep respect for Him. Romans 5: 12 reminds us that we have inherited our imperfection from one man, which is the spread of sin on mankind like a disease. So it is not our fault why we have lost our perfection. But it does not excuse our bad choices

.

Anything that affects a worshipper's relationship with God or life as one of God's servants can be a proper subject of prayer. As long as our prayers are in harmony with God's will, that may embrace virtually every facet of life.

A worshipper of God may feel free to talk to Jehovah God about his inmost feelings, needs, fears, and anxieties. Read Matthew 6: 9-13; John 14: 13; 1 Peter 5: 7; John 16: 23,24.

Psalm 37: 29 shows what our future holds, in these words. "The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it."

The fruit of God which is : Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control is related in Galatians 5. 22,23 and shows that against such things there is no law.

" The Greek agricultural term Kar.pos', " fruit; fruitage," appears frequently in the Scriptures. Here it is used figuratively to refer to qualities that God's holy spirit. or active force, can produce in humans. Galatians 5: 16 shows that "if we keep on walking by spirit, we will carry out no fleshly desire at all."

The fleshly desires are described in Galatians 5: 19-21 in these words: Sexual immorality, uncleanness, brazen conduct, idolatry, spiritism, hostility, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, dissensions, divisions, sects, envy, drunkenness, wild parties."

The apostle Paul warned and is warning us today that if we choose to bear such fruit of the flesh, we are depriving ourself of the gift of everlasting life , which has always been God's purpose for mankind.

1 Timothy 2: 4 reads. " Whose will ( God's will ) is that all sorts of people should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus, who was sent to earth 2'000 years ago, to redeem the human race from the curse of sin and death and to undo the damage caused by Satan. Read John 3: 16; 1 John 3: 8

Psalm 37: 29 describes what our future holds for all those who choose God's standards, express in these words. " The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it". Which has always been God's purpose from day one. Read Genesis 2: 15-17

Satan's desire has always been that the human race choose to no longer live according to God's requirements.

Genesis Chapter 3 and Romans 5: 12 is mankind's history, which shows the choice of the first couple, Adam and Eve and how sin was spread on mankind. The meaning of the word "sin" is miss the goal.

Genesis 3: 4 shows that Satan promised Eve that she will be like God is she no longer listened to God. Well ! That did not happen. Did it?

Genesis 3: 16-19 shows that they were exposed to a lot of hard work and suffering, until they returned to dust. Which was not God's desire and purpose for his creation.

When God came to the end of His creation , here is what he said, in Genesis 1: 31. " After that God saw everything he had made, and look! it was VERY GOOD. Not only good but very good. Which means that nothing was lacking for the welfare of his creation.

Happiness with endless blessing was the prospect set before humans. Read Psalm 104: 24; 1 Timothy 4: 4.

So to answer your question, which is " How do you sacrifice to Satan?

According to 1 John 5: 19, the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one, and Revelation 12: 9 describes ths wicked in these words. " The original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth."

So it is our choice of life that will make the difference. We either choose God's way that will lead to everlasting life or live by Satan's influence described in 2 Timothy 3: 1-5, where it shows that people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement ...and so forth... which is what our world is made of today.

Psalm 37: 29 describes what our future holds, in these words. " The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it. " It is either Satan's way or Jehovah's way, that will not have the same outcome.

There is a theological debate about whether a saved person can lose their salvation, with various perspectives among different Christian denominations. Some believe in the concept of "eternal security" where once saved, a person cannot lose their salvation. Others believe that it is possible for a saved person to walk away from their faith and reject their salvation. Ultimately, this is a complex issue that varies depending on one's theological beliefs.
