    What is Salvation?

    Yes throughfaith, Salvation = From, salvation from having to serve our flesh. If, however, I choose not to overcome serving my flesh, I am then saved from nothing. I am one whose God then continues to be their belly/flesh. Philippians 3:18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now...

    What is Salvation?

    According to the Word in Romans 7-8, Salvation, due to Christs sacrifice is where we are no longer enslaved to our carnal passions (should we so choose to overcome and free ourselves). In which case, as the Word is Spiritual, and salvation is spiritual; those who then choose to remain in their...

    What is Salvation?

    According to the Word, Salvation, due to Christs sacrifice is where we are no longer enslaved to our carnal passions (should we so choose to free ourselves). As such, what does this Salvation mean in regards to those who choose to remain in their carnal sins?

    What exactly is faith?

    I was under the impression that the whole volume of the bible is the Word, and therefore Jesus. Psalm 40:7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, Hebrews 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

    What exactly is faith?

    Total and true faith in Christ means to believe totally and solely in all Christ says. Instead, what we all are is double minded, believing in both what Christ says, and believing in the world/mammon.

    Do we really believe in God?

    We all are deceived by Satan (Revelation 12:9), whereby we have erroneous perspectives. As such, one should not immediately assume that what someone else says, which contradicts with their perspective is wrong, and then insult that person. For all you know, that other individual's perspective is...

    Was the Garden of Eden, literally Heaven on Earth? Was the Earth already fallen except for the Garden?

    Yes, they were more animal like. And to animals, sin is not accounted. I imagine homo sapiens prior to Adam, something like the 1968 movie, Planet of the Apes, where the astronauts come upon the humanoid population, who can't speak, read, or write, etc.

    Was the Garden of Eden, literally Heaven on Earth? Was the Earth already fallen except for the Garden?

    According to the fossil record, homo sapiens, whose physical appearance is like that of modern humans, were around for nearly 200,000 years. In all that time, however, it isn't until circa 6,000 years ago when the Lord imbues His Spirt within man/Adam, that man is then enlightened and is no...

    Was the Garden of Eden, literally Heaven on Earth? Was the Earth already fallen except for the Garden?

    Prior to Adam circa 6000 years ago, homo sapiens had been around for nearly 200,000 years. In all that time homo sapiens were not illumined by the Lord, until God/love first made Adam in His image having love. Prior to Adam, homo sapiens were maybe one wrung up on the beasts in the field. For...

    Do we really believe in God?

    Yes it is by the blood of Jesus that we receive the gift of eternal life. Does this mean that one needs to mentally recognize that Jesus came and died for their sins/misdirection's to inherit the kingdom of heaven? Not according to the Word in Matthew 25:34-40! Here we see the sheepfold who had...

    Do we really believe in God?

    By your interpretation, people prior to Jesus' appearance were not saved through their faith in loving their neighbor. I on the other hand see the Lords example of the Samaritan who appeared before Christ and never heard of Christ, but who loved his neighbor, who was in fact the enemy of the...

    Was the Garden of Eden, literally Heaven on Earth? Was the Earth already fallen except for the Garden?

    As the Satan's do not fight amongst themselves (Matthew 12:25-26), there is then some level of coherence/order within Satan's misdirection's/sins.

    Do we really believe in God?

    You either don't seem to understand what the scriptures are saying, or you do not want to see what they are saying. To believe in Christ means to believe in loving love/GOD, which is the same as believing in loving your neighbor (Matthew 22:37-39, & John 4:23-24). John 4:23 But the hour cometh...

    Was the Garden of Eden, literally Heaven on Earth? Was the Earth already fallen except for the Garden?

    God wants those who love love (John 4:23-24). We will either love this world and the things it has, or we will want to love God over the things this world has. John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father...

    Was the Garden of Eden, literally Heaven on Earth? Was the Earth already fallen except for the Garden?

    I agree. Until Cain went and married with the homo sapiens; and Seth the same; homo sapiens and their offspring were then free from the tree of knowledge. It is only after their being made aware of the new sciences available to them, when the falling took off.

    Was the Garden of Eden, literally Heaven on Earth? Was the Earth already fallen except for the Garden?

    Prior to Adam and Eve, the image of God (who is love) was not upon homo sapiens. Prior to Adam being given the command to not eat from the tree of knowledge, there was no sin, as outside from love/God homo sapiens had no command/s from God. The world was therefore not fallen prior to Adam and Eve.

    Do we really believe in God?

    You are not looking spiritually, but are looking at the description mentally. A Christian is one who believes in God who is Love, and does accordingly; just like the Samaritan in Luke 10 who never heard of Jesus, but loved his neighbor, and the sheep in Matthew 25:34-40, who were unaware that...

    Was the Garden of Eden, literally Heaven on Earth? Was the Earth already fallen except for the Garden?

    Was it a physical border, or a spiritual border that Adam and Eve could not get back to? They spiritually died on day 1 after eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge.

    Do we really believe in God?

    Do you understand that the Samaritan loved his neighbor, and by loving his neighbor, believes in God who is love? The Samaritan, just like all those who loved their neighbor in Matthew 25:24-40, but were unaware that their belief in loving their neighbor was the same as believing in God/love and...
