SCRIPTURE, not some book on Amazon, and not some video on YouTube. Where is it in SCRIPTURE? Of course, I know you don't have an answer, because there is no such Scripture, but it would be appropriate for you to admit it.

You ain't teaching me jack, dude. I'm sure you'll be making a trip to Banville soon.

You're being ridiculous. I'm not going to bother attempting to answer any other questions you ask if you aren't going to make the least attempt to understand and learn.

Paul is making a point, not describing a set of people. "Doers" here is contrasted with "hearers". That's the point of the sentence. Those who are merely hearers but don't do what they hear are not going to be justified; in order to be justified, you must actually do what the Law requires...

I agree that the potential for sin had to exist. I believe that same potential existed within Jesus in His humanity. That said, I know that many people disagree vigorously.

Where is this in Scripture?

I would conclude not that it was ‘necessary’ for him to sin, but that it was possible. I wouldn’t make the conclusion that ’it was in his nature to sin’ because again that depends on an anachronism.

Then by their own admission, they are fools. ;)

To better illustrate my point, here's another attempt. On a flat, non-moving Earth, there is no difference in input forces to cause the storms to spin in opposite directions.

Given that there is probably no doctrine which everyone agrees is correct, by someone’s estimation we all believe in incorrect doctrine. That said, some doctrines are actually correct, and many aren’t. Those who hold to doctrines that are actually incorrect would not know they are incorrect...

The problem with this theory is that the sun does not heat in a thin line, but broadly across all lands that are illuminated so the sun’s ’movement’ does not explain the rotational direction of storms.

With respect, that’s not what I’m saying.

Note, however, that every description of the natural state of man describes man after Adam’s sin. It’s a fallacy of anachronism to apply those descriptions to Adam prior to his sin. :)

Here are your words: “believing in & worshipping anyone, anywhere & anything is an idol & sinful.” You didn’t qualify it until later. I responded appropriately to your post, exclusive of your later clarification.

Huh? Where do you get that idea?

Aaron56 mentioned ‘cutting people out of their lives’, not ‘people cutting themselves off from heaven’. They are two completely different concepts.

That isn’t what you asked.

No; the arrows representing the sun's path are both closer to the "equator" than the storms, but they could as easily have been closer to the "poles", meaning your conclusion is faulty.

The diagram shows the real-world storms rotating in opposite directions depending on hemisphere, superimposed on the usual flat-Earth model. Since storms rotating in opposite directions is the observed reality, could you please explain how this happens when the sun is moving in the same relative...

No, it doesn't.
