Why don't you answer my question instead of all of these diversions? Explain why Jesus couldn't be GOD being made from Mary's egg. Your thoughts about dirty flesh are gnostic in character.

No, he willing let men kill him. A man that can raise a 3-day-dead person could have kept keep himself from dying if he so chose.

Define the sinful nature for me. You can't because you don't know what it is. All you can do regurgitate what others say without understanding. Death passed to all men because all men inherit Adam's dead spiritual nature.

You know what I meant. Why the diversion?

You're saying that GOD created Adam with a sin nature. Again, the only way that works is if you are equating free will with sin nature.

You have confused, contradictory thoughts going on. Women don't have seed; they have eggs, and soul is not flesh. And the idea that flesh is dirty comes from gnostic dualism.

But you're making an assumption that GOD planted an embryo in her womb, rather than fertilized one of her eggs.

Hebrews 2:17 doesn't say what you think it says. Jesus was not made like us in every way to include a sin nature. Apart from that he was in every way like us. Whereupon, he owed according to all to be likened to the brethren, that he should become a merciful and trustworthy high priest in the...

The bible is full of evidence that inheritance came through the father and was given to sons. Wives were considered part of a man's inheritance.

Adam wasn't created with a sin nature; he created that himself through willfully disobeying.

Why not?

The only way this makes sense is if you are equating free will with sin nature. Adam was flawless until the day he sinned. There was no sin in him.

I surely hope that no one believes that the new birth alone, i.e., apart from an abiding faith in Christ, will save a person. That was the error of the gnostics, who believed their spiritual nature saved them. In other words, they put their faith in the belief (knowledge) that they were eternal...

If those who believe salvation can be lost know GOD, and are known by him, then they too can't lose their salvation according to your reasoning. So to say they can lose it doesn't make sense. I'm having a hard time understanding how some people think that those who no longer believe in GOD can...

And realistically, what Abraham gave Melchizedek wasn't a tithe. He simply gave him 10% of other peoples' stuff because he wanted to, not because it was lawful. The lawful tithe on war booty was 0.2% from those who fought.

The writer wasn't equating Melchizedek with Christ. He was just using him for illustrative/comparative puposes to show the supremacy of Christ's priesthood.

Paul was spiritually dead when he was born. You really need to read Romans 7:9 with discernment. It says that Paul lived apart from the law at one time before he understood the commandment that "killed" him. Now if Paul was living apart from the law before that happened, what was that? Sin. It...

Romans 8:3 says Jesus was made in the likeness (homoíōma) of sinful flesh. What he didn't say is that Jesus was made sinful flesh. Huge difference. Theological Dictionary of the New Testament homoíōma. This rare word means “what is similar,” “copy,” with a stress on the aspect of “similarity.”...

The plant can't get deeply rooted in #2 soils' heart because they're not rooted in themselves, ie, in their own hearts. Some people are just like that. They're not self-honest and don't deal with deep issues of the heart so that they can really know who they are. They live on the periphery of...

I don't think they understand the concept of being rooted in one's self.
