No, it says they have no root in themselves.

I told you and you don't listen. It doesn't say "death spread to everyone because everyone sinned". You need to get rid of that translation. http://www.bible-researcher.com/nlt.html

No it doesn't. You're reading that into the text.

Receive is in the present tense for those receiving tithes, i.e. Levites. There is no present tense receive in that verse for Melchizedek. Received (past tense) is implied.

I think Ralph's saying what the parable says - there are some who abandon the faith because of the hardship it brings.

Death didn't spread to everyone because they sinned, but because Adam sinned. It doesn't say that all men sinned because of death, but that death spread to all men, upon which (i.e., death) they sin.

No man is responsible for Adam's sin except himself. Sin entered the world through Adam, and death, not sin, spread to all men, who sin because of death, not Adam.

That means when Melchizedek, who the scripture says has no end of days, received tithe from Abraham. It's not saying that he receives tithes now.

You think the natural body is sinful nature. Adam had a natural body without a sinful nature. So did Christ.

It's not that Israel has been replaced, but that it has become so great as to encompass all peoples of the world, just as promised and prophesied.

He laid down his life. Don't you think that someone who could raise the dead could keep from dying if it had been GOD's will?

GOD said, and Jacob prophesied, that Israel would become a multitude of nations (peoples). And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel. And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful...

That would be the concubine, I guess. Sometime after I and the guy who led me to Christ parted ways, I heard he got a concubine.

I don't understand why Ralph is being opposed. He's completely right. It says that the 2nd type soil believes with joy, but falls away from the faith because of affliction and persecution. Their faith is tested and it fails. It isn't a deep enduring faith, because these aren't deep, committed...

What is the "pull"?

No. What is original sin in each person?

Please define what original sin is. (if you can)

I'm not sure I understand your point. In the verses you mentioned believe is in the present tense, which I think is what Ralph means by continuing to believe.

So you can't prove it...

Explain to us how Adam's sin taints a human body.
