Making an irrelevant statement without evidence is just that, a nonsensical statement.

Repeating your supporting texts does not make your argument valid. You have not shown how it could be scriptural and not a theory devised by men.

Just on an historical perspective, most Christians have never held ot the idea of predestination as described by you. The only person in early Christianity who had a concept of predestination of a person to believe was Augustine, Even though Augustine is considered the father of the Roman...

Theologically, it cannot be considered immortal. If you so believe, then man's soul existed from beginning with God. His soul would not be created. Even with Christ's resurrection it is not immortal as God is immortal but a created immortality. Man will always be a created creature who is...

Immortality has always been within Christian theology, even Jewish in the OT. Man was created to be immortal. God did not create man immortal but good with two elements, body and soul. It was this created being, made from dust, that was given life. God created man to be a participant in this...

God created man to be eternal. God did not create man to have him die and return to dust. That would be absurd. Because of his sin, man became mortal. Yes, the entire creation fell. Christ redeemed His creation, to make it eternal again. The story of the Isrealites with the Tree Moses...

You are very confused. Your whole comment above has to do with spiritual death. Sin separates us from God - breaking of one's relationship, namely spiritual death. Which we do easily and often because of our mortality. You need to study Pelagianism. It is a false teaching but it is exactly...

Rom 5:12 says we sin through death. Man cannot die but once. Adam became mortal. Our sin does not make us more mortal. Our sin is relevant only in relation to our spiritual relationship with God which is not the issue here. Our sin may contribute when we die or how we die but the fact we die...

Sin caused the death of only one person, Adam. We do not sin in the same manner as Adam, Rom 5:14. We sin so easily because we are mortal. The sting of death is sin - I Cor 15:56. Death is organic, inherited, but sin is not. To be mortal is not sin. Which is why Jesus could take on our mortal...

It is not the sin in either case. It is the consequence of that sin. Augustine distorted that consequence. He believed that man inherited the guilt of that sin. When Gen 3:19 is quite clear what God meant by death. Man became mortal. physical death was the consequence. Rom 5:12 is also...

The term "original sin" has a very specific meaning for both Catholics and Protestants who took the meaning from the Catholics via St. Augustine. The problem is that what is understood by origional sin is as false as the opposite is, Pelagianism. Correct, but to say God wanted them to have a...

We know that it will be a body just as Christ had when He ascended into heaven. He will never loose that physical body. Spiritual does not mean some unseen mythical body. If it was not the same physical body we would not need to have a physical resurrection of our bodies at the last day. That...

That is what it means to be raised immortal and incorruptible, I Cor 15 53-54.

It has been the Truth for 2000 years. If you can show any evidence that the Apostles believed differently and taught the first century Christians what I have been explaining was different, go for it. Second century Christians, Ignatius, Iraneous, Tatian, Theophilus, Athanasius, who wrote a...

Quite the opposite. Where did I state that man can do what Christ did? Can man raise himself from the dead? Can man perform a sacrifice for sin? Christ tasted death for all men, Heb 2:9, He will raise all men I Cor 15:53-54. He propitiated the sins of the world I John 2:2. The opposite of...

It could not be any other kind. It surely was not relational. Man/the world suffered death, dust to dust, due to Adam's sin. This mortality spread to all men. Man lost life, an eternal existence. This is precisely why Christ was Incarnated. He took on Himself our human nature, to do what...

They are not the same word, but they both have a same meaning. Regarding kikaioo is a Greek word, but the Latin translaters did not have a Latin word for righteous, thus thy used the legal Latin term to remove guilt. All western translations have used the mistranslated word and it became part...

They have the same meaning. Check your dictionary. Actually both have many meanings. It is the context that will determine what it means. I used this example before, you can reconcile or you can justify your checkbook with a bank statement. You are making them to balance or to be made...

No, that is exactly what II Cor 5:20 is saying. Just because you are so very confused on the whole topic. Christ accomplished the complete salvation of the world. I John 4:14, John 4:42. The only one that limits what Christ actually accomplished is your theory of limited atonement...

Yes, His work is finished. But what has that to do with my statement?
