Here are a few scripture that point me to man being fallen from birth. Genesis 8:21 And when the Lord smelled the pleasing aroma, the Lord said in his heart, “I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intention of man's heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I ever again...

Okay then, so where does it say we are born perfect and not born sinners? I don't think anywhere.... Yeah you may have to think a few of these things out brother, but this follows perfectly. We are born fallen, every man a sinner, none are righteous, not even one. How can this be when there...

In John 8:34 right out of Jesus mouth- 34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin...." What are people born as? Saints? What is every man born to?

Well Jesus says we are slaves of sin or slaves of righteousness and I believe Him and not you. Our will is ALWAYS tied to our natures and is NEVER free, so yes he was right and you are wrong if you are saying our will is free at any time. This isn't some crazy hard to understand concept here, we...

Well then he is right, our will is not free no matter what state we are in. So I do understand what you're saying and what you mean, and don't even disagree with it, but if this is the case then we should just leave the "free" out of it. Don't call being enslaved to your nature "freewill", and...

This can apply to you just as much as it can whoever you're aiming it at. Those that disagree with you would say the exact same thing to you. You would have to have God command another temple be built (after the close of scripture BTW, but sideline that issue for now) to reinstitute a...

And all this while being hamstrung by the Democrats and half the Republican's at every turn. Imagine what could be done if we as the "American people" got behind him and he had support from the "Republican Party" that was 10% of what the dirty Dems shop. Love'em or hate'em, the Democrat machine...

Nope, our will is a slave to sin, or a slave to righteousness. That doesn't make us robots our take away choice at all. Why people say this is beyond me, it's Bible 101. We can't please God before we are born again, it's just not possible. We are slaves to sin before being born-again and are...

"whatever it takes?" How do you mean? Like, I don't know, arming ourselves and confronting gun crime when it happens? What exactly do you mean by whatever it takes? Do you mean whatever it takes as in the government kicking in doors to strip all guns from citizens? Whatever it takes how? A...

Just like Pinocchio dude, just like Pinocchio.

Matthew 28:18-20 18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey all that I have...

Read???? You can read? I just looked at the pictures. Wait, are you telling me these books actually say something?

Heretic, Green Eggs and Ham was the best ever. You don't want to start this fight with me, we are talking about serious stuff here. Go Dog Go, Pffft. Green Eggs destroys that any day of the week, with Cat in the Hat not too far behind.

No kidding, just look how many are in this thread supporting the heck out of destructive policies that are destroying their own country for the sake of foreigners. As dumb as it gets.

We do not come out of the womb having sinned, but we are born 100% broken and 100% spiritually disconnected from our Creator. Total Depravity, and this not coming from a professing "Calvinist", is just describing this condition we are born to. 100% disconnected from God and 100% unable to do...

I'm sorry, and I know this is going to sound harsh, but I am not meaning it in a "harsh" way, just a calm direct way, but we can not take scripture and superimpose ourselves and our times on the words. That was not what these words meant when they said them back then, nor when they wrote them...

Just started reading this thread and the first scripture I thought of was 1 Cor 17-19, 17For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. 18For the word of the cross is folly to those who...

This comment was supposed to be posted to this one. First posting looked weird without what I was responding to. Honestly I've lost the point you're making. Are you saying, concerning your salvation, that you do have a reason to boast in yourself? Are you claiming you deserve glory for...

Honestly I've lost the point you're making. Are you saying, concerning your salvation, that you do have a reason to boast in yourself? Are you claiming you deserve glory for obeying good enough? Because from where I'm sitting it, sure sounds like that's what you're arguing for. To me you seemed...

Well of course He can credit who He wills, but it's trying to TAKE the credit that I'm talking about. If you think you deserve credit for your salvation, any credit at all, then you have a reason to boast. Do you not? I'm not going to say anything about you, but I KNOW I have no reason at all to...
