    The origins of OSAS has its origins with Satan in the garden of Eden. Satan is the father of lies and OSAS creates the false sense of comfort and attempts to legitimize sinning. Adam and Eve were told if they ate of certain tree they would surely die, (Gen 2:17) yet Satan lied telling them they...

    Original Sin (or sin nature) in the Bible:

    1 Cor 15:22 All die PHYSICALLY (not spiritually) as a CONSEQUENCE of Adam sinning just as all will be made alive physically at the resurrection which Christ made possible. Some raised to eternal life and the rest to eternal condemnation. For v21 states "For since by man came death, by man...

    Is believing/faith a work ?

    Faith/belief is a work of obedience in doing the will of God and not a work of merit for obedience to God's will does not earn anything, (Lk 17:7-10).

    Can a Person be Born Homosexual?

    ============================ Ps 58:3 . . The wicked are estranged from the womb; these who speak lies go astray from birth David is obviously using highly poetic, figurative language for infants cannot speak lies, they do not even understand the concept of lying. "The wicked are...

    Can a Person be Born Homosexual?

    If an accountable person, who has learned right from wrong, lusts or hates in his heart then that is sinful just as the acts of adultery or murder. Yet infants are not capable of either for they are not accountable to God's law (Rom 7:8-9) and they do not have the mental capacity to even...

    Is believing/faith a work ?

    James 2:14 ASV What doth it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but have not works? can that faith save him? James 2:14 NLT What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone? James is...

    Can a Person be Born Homosexual?

    A person cannot be born a homosexual just as a person cannot be born an adulterer, liar, thief, murderer, rapist, etc for sin is not something men are unconditionally, innately born with but sin is a transgression people choose to make. God cannot rightly, justly condemn a person if they were...

    You define words how you want to define words. More specifically if one does not beleive as you do then you call them cultist. You define people accriding to your opinions, nothing more.

    Original Sin (or sin nature) in the Bible:

    We can deal in hypothesis onlu what happened. What happened was Adam was created with a free will and given a law. Accoding to the BIble for a person to be a sinner a law must exist (Rom 4:15) and that law must be transgressed (1 Jn 3:4). Therefore men choose to beak God's law BECOMING a...

    Original Sin (or sin nature) in the Bible:

    You post: If, because of the one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one If this means that all are born sinners unconditionally then what about the second half of the verse that says "much more surely will those who receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in...

    The Devil's Ministers

    1 Pet 3:21 = baptism doth also now save us. Satan's ministers = baptism doth not save us Acts 2:38 = baptized for remission of sin. Satan's minister = baptism does not remit sins/does not save.

    Original Sin (or sin nature) in the Bible:

    This is not found in the Bible. Rom 5:18 (a) Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; (b) even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. If 15(a) is true, then "even so" 15 (b) is true. If 15(a) teaches...

    Original Sin (or sin nature) in the Bible:

    You CLAIM OS is true for eveyone but then make an exception for Christ. Christ would be no exception as I pointed out in an earlier post. And if you can make exceptions for Christ, then I can make exceptions for infants and those born with severe mental diabilities who are unable to understand...

    Hope of Salvation vs. Certainty of Salvation

    You are correct in your accessment. No need to hope for what one already possesses. Christians do not possess eternal life in this present earthly existence. Therefore hope is important for it allows the Christian to see beyond this mere mortal, corruptible existence looking to the next...

    Original Sin (or sin nature) in the Bible:

    When it comes to the context of Romans 5, proponents of OS: 1) ASSUME men are UNconditionally made sinners simply by being physically born. No verse says men are UNconditionally made sinners just as no verse says men are UNconditionally made righteous. Men are made righteous when they...

    Life in the : Blood

    The Bible says faith saves, (Eph 2:8; Rom 5:1; etc) therefore I do not have to say it when the Bible already says it. My point from the Bible has been: Lev 17:10 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: Take away the blood, flesh is dead James 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that...

    Original Sin (or sin nature) in the Bible:

    No verse teaches man is innately born with a nature that causes him to sin. Such an idea makes man a victim of sin rather than the guilty perpetrator that he is and it would make God injust, unrighteous for condemning men for how they were innately born against their will. Men today BECOME...

    Life in the : Blood

    Since faith is a requirement in being saved, it can be said then that faith saves. Rom 5:1 says justified by faith, it does not say justified by Christ. Christ justifies, but He justifies only those who have faith so in that sense it can be said faith saves/justifies. And the faith that...
