When I said...So man pays for his own sins through his own death, and is then resurrected to eternal life, according to the above.... It was in response to understanding to what Aunty Jane was saying just previous. I do not believe man, any man, pays for his own sins through death if He accepts...

@PS95 is right @Aunty Jane and @TheHC . You have both stated that man pays for his sins when he dies. You said this even in respect of Judas, that by his own death he is redeemed. And from comments from HC, it seems the only thing you give Jesus's credit for is His resurrection. You both seem to...

Of course He didn't. But except for Adam and Eve, everyone born received through heredity the sinful nature of Adam. That however does not mean that the person has sinned...yet... But he will, because the carnal sinful nature we are born with make us weak, and it is in our nature to rebel...

You, a leader in Israel and you don't know these things?

You need to separate sin itself from the sin nature we are born with. Why do you think Jesus said we must be born again? Why is that necessary?

I'm confused by your doctrine. Who pays the penalty for our sin? Ourselves, or Jesus?

Interesting you are so confident in judging and condemning someone who lived 6000 years ago.

“6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, 7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity...

Aaah. So only those who deserve mercy receive it? How do we earn mercy aunty?

That surprises you @TheHC ?? Think about theistic evolution and tie it the character you believe belongs to the God you serve.

I didn't say God sacrificed the animal, if there was a sacrifice at all, it would have been by the hand of Adam. As I said, I'm interpreting the scripture on the basis of typology, and the fact that God never changes. Some animal had to die in order to provide those skins. To deny that and turn...

Mmm. And yet after Calvary and the awesome revelation of the love of God, a revelation mind that Adam and Eve never had, we still deliberately disobey God's commandments and rationalise them to mean something other than what they plainly convey. How is that any better than what Adam and Eve...

Mmm. As were many of his senior officials.

Agreed. We are talking about the church, not the world in general.

Jehovah's Witnesses do no favour to God by misrepresenting His character in their stubborn belief in a creation that necessitated the death of creatures in order to evolve. @Aunty Jane told me earlier that I was making assumptions about A&E. Theistic evolution is no less an assumption than the...

But even as a sinner, man was in a different position from that of Satan. Lucifer in heaven had sinned in the light of God's glory. To him as to no other created being was given a revelation of God's love. Understanding the character of God, knowing His goodness, Satan chose to follow his own...

God's love has been expressed in His justice no less than in His mercy. Justice is the foundation of His throne, and the fruit of His love. It had been Satan's purpose to divorce mercy from truth and justice. He sought to prove that the righteousness of God's law is an enemy to peace. But Christ...

All those things you mentioned are quite obvious from the text. Except for the several assumptions you make in order to justify your church's storylines. What you are assuming is that there wasn't more to the story, as well as assuming God's mercy wasn't available to them on account of your...
