Being born again does not prevent anyone from sinning. It would be great if true, but alas we all sin. That is our human condition in this life. We sin. If you think you don't sin or are without sin I John 1:7-9 says differently.

This is what so many are missing regarding the fall of man. True, Adam broke the perfect relationship he had with God. But the consequence of that sin was death. Rom 5:12. That death was physical. God told Adam that he would return to dust. Gen 3:19. Adam lost for mankind and the world an...

If Christ did not come to reconcile the world, there would be no eternity. Mankind and the world would simply dissolve to dust from whence we came. No, Christ reconciled the WORLD to GOD. Col 1:20, II Cor 5:18-19. Being set free from the bondage of sin does not mean you will not, or cannot...

The question I have is why did He need to come and die and be resurrected? You are correct that there would be no "born again" unless there was a reconciliation. What did Christ reconcile? Why was it necessary? To whom did Christ reconcile?

I'm not asking you to chase my trash. I was asking you to explain YOUR view, not mine. I have questions based on your view. Must I assume you don't even understand your own view in detail, theologically enough to explain it.

No, Even now, based on the questions I asked you have answered only one. Based on your theology, you indicated believers are being reconciled. You did not answer from what were they reconciled, nor how it was accomplished? Give it some thought, based on your view.

Staying on the topic of reconciliation, can you explain just what Christ reconciled, from what did He reconcile, and how it was done.? You keep repeating Rom 5:10 but what does your theology actually say about the above question?

Whose gospel? Your answer is the typical one when a person does not have a logical, rational response.

Why didn't you answer my question? What is your view of I Cor 15:12-19?

Your first paragraph is correct. You are half correct on the second paragraph. Not just believers but every human being and the physical world itself has been reconciled, made right with God. Col 1:20, II Cor 5:19, Rom 5:18, and many others. Apparently, you do not understand what Paul is...

That is where you and I differ with the terminology being used. I am referring to the physical, mortal nature. You are putting your comments under spiritual nature. Huge difference. The nature Christ restored through His death and resurrection, the primary work of Christ, was to restore our...

It has nothing to do with knowledge. It has to do with the Incarnation. Christ assumed (took on) our human nature from the Virgin Mary, became Incarnate. The part where you say it is our fallen nature is correct, it became mortal. That physical nature never changes. I disagree with your...

So is the soul, mind and emotions. It is precisely what Christ assumed of our human nature. In His human natue, Christ had a soul, mind and will emotions of a human nature separate from the Divine nature and of His energies and will. Agreed. You can use the term, but theologically it has...

Just the opposite. What I have stated has been the historical understanding of the Incarnation of Christ from the Apostolic times. It has never changed. You are a long way from what scripture states. In this case you ignored again the full context of the verse you cited, hoping it says what you...

That is precisely what I stated. However it is never called either a sin nature, nor Adamic nature. We have a mortal nature. the antecedent is missing in this phrase. It is death. We know that death spread to all men because all men sin. We sin because of our mortal nature. This is verified...

Just a theological clarification. Man does not have a sin nature. We have a mortal nature. A nature that causes us to sin easily. If we had a sin nature, Christ would not have been able to assume our human nature. He would be just as sinful as we are. It would also mean that we are actually...

Another huge misrepresentation of a text and comments out of context. Why pick Col 1:21-22 when the antecendent of Pauls remarks is based on vs 20, The result comes through victory over death, so that Paul can speak of a persons faith, to be made Holy and blameless within Christ Church. Your...

God created man as an independent, rational, and free individual. God did not create a robot to be manipulated. What kind of relationship would that be. Yes, God knew Adam would sin using his free will. But God also had a plan. It was actually merciful of God to permit Satan to have dominion...

You can make that claim all day but it will not change what scripture means now and what it meant for Christians in the early centuries. Do you think Paul got his Greek incorrect. The Church spoke exclusive Greek for 5 centuries. I think they knew the language. You still are confusing the...

He died to have specific people. People that will believe on Him. However to even have ONE believer He needed to die for all men. This is reason He reconciled the world. He created this world to be eternal as well as mankind. When Adam sinned, death came to all men, including the world...
