Amen and Thank you!!
Love is giving, some people cannot wrap their head around that I guess.
Oh my word.....seriously.....you have got to be kidding me.
What happened to Adam..what did God breath into him,when he created him..then what happened?
It's quite telling that you're offended by the gospel.

Are you kidding...I asked you a question about Adam and you couldn’t answer it....you swept biblical truth under your rug.
Tis you who can’t accept the word of God......Adam and Eve what happened?..that is biblical yet you ignore and are offended by that question.
I'm not offended by the question, but your "you have got to be kidding" was far more interesting since what I had posted in the last post literally is a crucial piece of the gospel. Christ died, and was buried, and was resurrected for you. On account of your sin.
Answer my post yes or no very simple. You can't and you won't.
You don't want to go there.
Yes means total depravity no means self-righteousness and works.
King James 2000 Bible
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. ?

You are trying to assume some superior biblical understanding, feel free, but I am not going to engage you.
You took what I meant out of context..I was so shocked that you don't know what happened to Adam and Eve..that is why I said are you kidding.
Also your response to cv post that I quoted...I was absolutely shocked at what you replied.
I'm not sure which post you're refering to, but your dilemma is false. Unless of course you think when Peter called Lot righteous it was self-righteousness, or when Ezekiel relayed God saying Job, Lot, and Daniel were righteous enough to deliver themselves only it was self righteousness, or when God called Job "blameless and upright" it was self-righteousness.
It's ok,blue of lake beat you to it...I am claiming no superior knowledge.im thick remember,I kind of like being thick.
But not when it comes to Gods word.
How can I take what you mean out of context?
And that's exactly what I'm talking about, because the post you quoted is a partial presentation of the gospel, so if it shocks you you were shocked by the gospel.
You are intentionally dodging responding to my post. Responding will blow away the smokescreen of self-righteousness you've raised.
God was not obligated to sacrifice his Son on our behalf. To provide us with His righteousness (not our righteousness!) His glory (not our glory) His worthiness (not our worthiness!) and Sonship.
You see the Bible is very clear: we had no righteousness, glory or worthiness. They had to be credited to our account, and even the faith to believe had to be provided.
It is all the work of God, a work outside ourselves, a work that glorifies God alone. We had no part in our own adoption, no participation, no parity, there was no negotiation between parties. God adopted us out of sheer pity and mercy and restored us to Sonship. And only He and the Son get all of the glory for this work.
Dig into do your Bible and you can confirm all of this.
You can wrap it up as much as you like...you ignored my question about Adam and Eve...my post was fine..blue of lake understood it.
My question is...why didn't you?
I was shocked by you not understanding it.
