It's three posts (between us) back. Click the "up" button. That doesn't fly, firstly because Scripture doesn't "clearly" teach that (it's implicit but not explicit), and secondly, because Adam had no "internal" proclivity to sin prior to actually sinning. God said His creation was "very good"...

You are imposing your interpretation and claiming it is "the correct" interpretation. Your dismissive attitude just makes you come across as arrogant and unteachable.

Pietistic abhorrence, an emotional reaction without merit. Did you miss the part where I explained that your belief imputes actual (not merely potential) sin to God? According to Scripture, Hebrews 4:14-15 "Jesus the Son of God, ... was in all points tempted like as we are". You can't ignore...

That's right... yank verses out of a different context, and even from a different book entirely, and state categorically that they are speaking about exactly the same thing, on the assumption that whatever "I" don't think has been fulfilled yet must be an end-times prophecy and all force-fit...

That is certainly plausible. :)

This is a perfect example of misinterpretation. You have assumed that "everlasting righteousness" means "everlasting righteousness on Earth among humans", but that isn't what the text says. What did Jesus accomplished by His sacrifice? He made an end of sins and reconciliation for iniquity...

In response to another poster who said this, "He was not defiled and he was separate from sinners. Without sin and without a sin nature", you said this: Despite your "so", there is no causal connection between the two statements. On this subject we must get past the apparent contradiction of...

Okay, so His temptation was a sham.

That’s the most popular book of them all!

There is no verse that divides the Law into categories that do or don’t remain in effect. It is one Law with many ordinances given to ancient Israel, not to the gentiles.

My capacity with digital illustration tools is limited.

You misread my post.

A shepherd, not the shepherd. Peter was not given authority over the other disciples... not here and not ever. Authority is given to complete the mission, not to "lord it over" other believers, which is exactly what the RCC does. I reject your claim. I don't accept that there is a necessary...

Hi Dess… since you didn’t mention it, I’ll ask: have you repented of all sin and accepted the sacrifice of Jesus Christ in your place? Do you believe that He has redeemed you from punishment for your sin? If so, you already have the Holy Sprit. If not, you don’t, and no amount of asking will...

You seem to be claiming, without saying so, that the disciples were unable to speak or read Greek. If so, on what grounds do you claim that?

The Scripture was not written from the devil’s perspective. The Scripture says Jesus was tempted. It doesn’t say that the devil only thought Jesus was tempted. The person who hates chocolate cake is still capable of eating it, so your analogy fails.

It appears to me that you are the one leaving God out of the picture, assuming such an event would kill everyone. Perhaps your god is too small. ;)

You appear to have oversimplified the movement of the moon. If you hang on to the idea that the moon rotates on a particular axis, rotation not on that axis will seem impossible. If, however, the moon actually rotates on a different axis than what you believe, such movement is possible. Consider...

The person who makes the claim is responsible to support it. Gary made several claims without support. It is quite legitimate to dismiss an unsupported claim. Dismissing a claim is not ‘putting down’ the person who made it.

That is nonsensical. Anyone can feed sheep, but the shepherd has the responsibility to do so. Jesus was giving Peter responsibility. No, responsibility for is not authority over. Nowhere did Jesus indicate that the "sheep" were the other disciples. Further, Peter's ministry was to the Jews...
