I already answered that previously. Pay attention. Answer the question: What did the Corinthians receive and from whom?

So...since you say there is "no reconciliation decree" in Gen 3:15, then Eve in her state of sin remained at once an enemy of God and an enemy of the devil. Eve hated both good and evil. And in your world, this makes sense. And I posted the evidence for Eve's faith. She, UNLIKE ADAM...

So what did the Corinthians receive and from whom? It seems to me there are far more than a few passages in the bible that expounds on all the various gifts God gives to his elect via his grace. Jn 3:16 for example.

Then if God is not looking to change our nature, what's the big deal about our glorification? Also, will the glorified saints in the eternal New Order have the ability to sin or not?

Yada, yada, yada. You insist on multiplying words without knowledge! Just answer this question: Will the glorified saints in the eternal New Order have the ability to sin? YES or NO!

Clearly you don't understand my tagline. I understand very well God's "power of grace". But FWers do NOT understand this power of grace the way you wrote it above. Look at Mr. Studier's recent post wherein he essentially wrote that men are FREE to accept or reject not the only the gospel but...

So...do you believe that God has "freewill" since He cannot make choices contrary to his holy nature?

But God helps the children of light and the children of darkness to get out of bed every morning. As pointed out previously, God has numbered the days of all men w/o exception. Therefore, the ability or desire for anyone to rise and shine in the morning is a function of his Common Grace. And...

No, I don't actually. You must have been on drugs that day and saw things that weren't in my post. I know one thing about 1Cor 4 and it's something you personally HATE: God makes the difference either directly or indirectly through secondary causes. God has given to his elect by His grace...

Well stated! FWers view "free" incompletely. To their naive minds "free" (or freedom) is just a one-sided coin, i.e. free TO and they totally ignore the fact that true freedom is to be free FROM whatever it is that encumbers or enslaves man's volition, which of course is the power of sin. The...

Shirley U. Jest!

Adam was no "robot" but he was HELPLESS and God chose to not reconcile him to Himself. And the saints in the New Order will be perfectly conformed to Christ's image, so like their Savior they will not be able sin. So...going by your logic all the saints on the restored earth are going to be...

FTFY. One more thing: Remember the question I asked you several months ago about what makes the believer who accepts the gospel different from the unbeliever who doesn't? You clearly and unequivocally assigned the difference to the sinner's will -- his smarts, his intelligence, etc.. But now...

So you recognize that common grace is efficacious, since you get up every morning BY THAT GRACE! (And it is COMMON GRACE since God has universally numbered the days of all the sons of men!) How come you don't believe that His Saving Grace is equally as efficacious since scripture tells us that...

You're dead wrong! When I make the claim (expressed negatively) that Adam was NOT included in God's Reconciliation decree in Gen 3:5, and that there is NO biblical evidence whatsoever to support he exercised any faith, I'm arguing from FACTS since there are no passages to refute my negative...

Oh my...it appears I overestimated you and gave you too much credit. You didn't know that the godly disposition of heart known as the Fear of the Lord is a divine gift, did you? I bet you thought that was just another "theory" I cooked up.... :rolleyes:

God is not responsible for what the sons of men became after our Federal Head blew his righteousness test assignment big time. Adam is the one who made his progeny into "robots". Since the redeemed in the eternal New Order will never be able to choose between good and evil, and like God will...

Those of the world do not have to go to graveyards to visit or see the dead. They just have to find their nearest mirror.

Good, then provide the biblical proof that Adam responded with faith. There's evidence for Eve, but where is it for Adam? You think God's Provision proves that both A&E were saved. But it does not! You simply read your assumption into that passage. And for your info, I can pull the same...

Wow! That's a really significant spiritual choice... I chose to eat sausage and veggies tonight. I suppose you think that, too, was a spiritual choice?
