That's the hasty generalisation fallacy. In other words, “if it's true in this case, then it is true in all cases.” Hasty generalization fallacy example “I've met two people in Greece so far, and they were both nice to me. So, all the people I will meet in Greece will be nice to me.” Here, the...

Paul doew not say "repentance is impossible" for such people. He says it is impossible (for us, according to the context) to b=ring them to repentance. He does no say it is impossible for them to be brought to repentance. Again, saying to a class of students, "It is impossible to swallow a one...

Thankfully, we have Magenta to fill in details that God forgot to put into the Bible. :rolleyes:

Depression is caused by overly focussing on the past. Anxiety by overly focussing on the fiuture. Peace comes with surrendering those to God and Christ and living in the present trusting in Their goodness and faithfulness.

Speak for yourself, friend. You can't speak for everyone. Your experience may not be the experience of others.

It is completely due to God's mercy, revealed in Christ Jesus when He set me free from shame and guilt for sins, that I am God's child with bold access into communion with Him. But He did not impute Jesus' righteous conduct to me to achieve that. He place my sins on Christ, who took them away...

Nowhere in scripture is anyone who is lost chosen to be saved or chosen to be not saved from their sins.

If ALL my unrighteousness is taken away by the death of Christ, what is left to make me unrighteous in God's sight? I do not need imputed righteousness from someone else; and the Bible never talks about us receiving righteousness imputed from someone else. If it did, you could quote the biblical...

So the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is forgivable. It is impossible for the author to bring to repentance "those who have experienced the good things of heaven and shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the power of the age to come— 6 and who...

It is obvious that you don't have any scripture that says Adam's sin is imputed to anyone else, nor that Jesus' righteousness is imputed to anyone else. Through the disobedience of Adam, bringing sin and death into the world, many (not all) were made sinners. Those not yet at an age of...

If it said Adam's sin is imputed to someone else, you would have quoted it and not just given the scripture reference to hide the fact that it doesn't say that, but you are pretending that it does. 12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed...

Right. So, I didn't actually malign, twist, pervert or criticise the scriptures. I merely disagreed with the way you dealt with the scriptures. That's quite a different thing to maligning, twisting, perverting or criticising the scriptures. But you don't seem to be able to recognise that.

Right, So, you have no scripture that says Adam's sin was imputed to anyone else. As I suspected.

The only thing that arms these texts to be used to condemn and control is the incorrect inference that they speak of an unforgivABLE sin. If we can see that it is not proposing an unforgivABLE sin then they can't be used to condemn and control us.

You guess correctly, We don't have Adam's sin imputed to us. Do you have a scripture which says we do?

You said, "Notice in this text that Jesus didn't pray for his Father to sanctify "them" by or in or through him -- but in the eternal Word of God." It sounds like you think there is some original version of the Bible that has been ever-existing in heaven. The eternal word of God is the Son...

Semantics: the branch of linguistics and logic concerned with meaning. The two main areas are logical semantics, concerned with matters such as sense and reference and presupposition and implication, and lexical semantics, concerned with the analysis of word meanings and relations between...

The truth is the Person of Jesus and the Way of Jesus and the Life of Jesus. it is not a set of propositions.

Who here realises that the word "erchomai", translated here as "is come", can also be translated as "went/has gone". Both senses are true. Jesus both came and left in flesh. JWs certainly deny Jesus left in flesh.

Neither. We fall because of our own wills.
