Your right, the first man (Adam) was made in the image of God. But when sin entered into man the ways of mankind was corrupted, and by the first man (Adam) sin entered into the world as written. This verse here speaks to the man (Adam) who was in the garden of Eden and what happened...

I just wanted to ad this concerning who is reckoned for the seed.... Romans 9:8 "That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed." Paul also said the children of faith are counted as the children of...

Some say he was Jewish by Mary's linage, "made of a woman" as written, but the scriptures do say a Jew is one who is inward by the Spirit and not outward according to the flesh so perhaps the seed of David is determined according to the Spirit. And yes, Jesus did suffer the same temptations as...

Mary did not conceive Jesus by flesh and blood seed, but conceived by way of the Holy Spirit. So Jesus being conceived by the Holy Spirit means he did not have the same nature of the earthly, but of the heavenly Father being without sin.

1 Corinthians 2:10-16 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12...

We are all firstborn of the flesh, and also have a sin nature working in us because of Adams original sin. Romans 5:12 “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” This is how the serpent corrupted God’s...

The law of Moses which God gave to Moses is not sin, the law and commandments are just, holy and good.... "Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good." (Romans 7:12) It is transgression of the law that is sin as written in 1 John 3:4 "Whosoever committeth sin...

Jesus said the scriptures testified of Him, but the problem was they truly didn't believe the words of God spoken and written by the prophets.... John 5:46 "For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me. And because they did not believe the words of God written in...

I don't know any Christians who say they want to replace God with a book? But many Christians do believe all scripture is given by the inspiration of God, including Paul... 2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction...

Doing good or doing evil, we all make choices every day, even in the way we think. Sin is like an unwelcome guest knocking at the door of our heart wanting to be let in and entertained. The Lord told Cain in Genesis 4:7 “If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not...

The Holy Bible contains the words of God, just as holy men spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. Just as the holy prophets spoke by the Spirit of Christ. 1 Peter 1:10-11 "Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come...

It is written in Proverbs 4:27 “Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.” This not turning from to the right hand or the left is walking in the way the Lord commands His children to walk. This is also shown in Deuteronomy 5:32 “Ye shall observe to do therefore as...

Just as every good tree brings forth good fruit, so does a bad tree bring forth evil. Many understand our actions are works or fruit, but did you know the words we speak are also like fruit? Proverbs 18:20 “A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of...

What many countries celebrate does not change what the word of God says is true. And notice in Matthew 18:3 the Lord said "Except you be converted" This speaks of being born again first, and then in the next part Jesus says "and become as little children." We don't decrease in age or...

I’ve heard some discuss the question in other forums if man is born with a sin nature or not, and I would like to take the time to comment on this issue according to scripture. I absolutely believe man is born with a nature to sin. This nature was introduced into the world through Adams sin...

Jesus said in John 15:3 "Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you." In the Old Testament law we see a shadow of greater things to come in the bringing in of a New Testament and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ; by which blood we are also washed. But some may...

Yeah, I've also heard some call keeping the commandments of God preaching "legalism" but the flip side of that argument could be called "lawlessness." But I'm not talking about the keeping of all the carnal ordinances (motions of the law) in the law of Moses. But even the law of Moses has much...

There are many debates these days about what law or commandments we are to follow. The simple answer is Love. In Matthew 22:37-40; “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.This is the first and great commandment. And...

Patience. :) Romans 9:22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: Isaiah 13:9 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he...

Thanks for the welcome, and Peace. I know what you might be thinking, as I'm not new to Christian forums. Just came from one where the mere mention of an obedient faith in God's words will get you labeled as a preacher of "works Salvationism" or if you speak out against sin you'll be labeled...
