    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    You're imagining things! I can't see any Bible quotes from you that mention "spiritual death". There is not a single verse in the Bible that mentions "spiritual death". The words 'spirit' or 'spiritual', and 'death' do not appear in the same verse anywhere in the Bible, no matter which...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    As I wrote, the KJV says in its footnote for Genesis 2:17 that in the Hebrew it states "dying thou shalt die", just as the YLT translates it as "dying thou dost die". This is not hijinks, it is study of God's word. It is not a lying translation. I have not changed anything. I'm just...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    Wrong, as you have already shown - "The soul that sins, it shall die.", Ezekiel 18:20 (MKJV). Yes. No, Jesus did not come in a supernatural body, he came in a human body - Hebrews 2:14 (WEB): (14) Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in the same way...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    Obviously. Jesus did not have a human father. Nobody else has been born by a virgin mother. He had a human mother, so his body was created from human DNA, from one of Mary's eggs. God only supplied the Y chromosone so that he was born male, not female (see Unique blood of Jesus). I don't...

    Barnes Bible Notes says: Master, who did sin? ... - It was a universal opinion among the Jews that calamities of all kinds were the effects of sin. See the notes at Luk_13:1-4. The case, however, of this man was that of one that was blind from his birth, and it was a question which the...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    If you state that you're quoting from a specific translation (KJV) and then you change the text rather than quoting it exactly, then you should make that clear, so that people don't think that you're deliberately trying to deceive them. While "instead of Christ" is a possible interpretation of...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    Rubbish. I never said that. You keep accusing me of saying things that I have not said. Even after I have clearly pointed out that I had not said them, you still repeat your claim that I have. Your idiotic response in post #577, where you misinterpret the Cambridge Bible Notes' expression...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    If everyone is going to die naturally, and could not live forever if they did not sin, then how can death be a punishment for sin? Romans 6:23 (WEB): (23) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. How does Jesus' sacrifice of one perfect...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    You misunderstand the Scriptures, most likely due to poor translation of the Bible. It is obvious that people don't drop dead the first time in their life that they commit a sin. We would have no need of a police force and the judicial system if that were the case! The KJV translates Genesis...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    That's what I said! I wrote, "God prepared a perfect human body for Jesus". I made no mention of angels. If you can not correctly understand the simple things that I write, then it's very likely that you will misunderstand God's word in the Bible too! I never claimed that! Angels don't have...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    I didn't say that Jesus makes people with sin. I said that a sinful nature was inherited from our parents. Does Jesus make people with physical and mental handicaps too, or is that inherited from their parents, or a result of their parents' imperfect bodies? What I wrote was that Adam was...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    Adam was made from the dust of the earth (Genesis 3:19) - he was not born as a baby. Eve was made from one of Adam's ribs - she was made as a woman, not a baby. But everyone else has been made by humans procreating, and are born as babies. So clearly Adam was made differently from everybody...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    Angels are not immortal - only God was immortal, 1 Timothy 6:16 (WEB): (16) who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen. Unfortunately that is a misleading translation, it should be translated more...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    I wrote, "Sexual intercourse between a man and his wife is not sinful". Fornication and adultery, by definition, is not sexual intercourse between a man and his wife. The Bible says otherwise, so your deduction of "you have to say" and "would also have to" is shown to be incorrect. When...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    As I said, Adam was created perfect and sinless, but later he sinned. God punished him for that by sentencing him to die. Adam had a corrupted, imperfect and sinful nature from that point on, and everybody else has inherited that sinful nature. Jesus did not create anybody with a sinful...

    Bible Software

    Yes. PS. If you're interested I use e-Sword and Online Bible on my MS Windows desktop PC, and MyBible on my Android notepad (so I can quickly look up verses during a church service). I also have an old laptop computer running Linux, and I have Xiphos Bible Guide installed on that (but I...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    And yet by just reading the Bible alone you have not understood what repentence means. That's why I recommended that other thread because you'll get a better idea of what repentence is if you read it. Just trying to help. :Thumbsup:

    I've not read it all, but perhaps you should read the discussion The Bible teaches repentance unto confession, not confession unto repentance.

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    Well I did quote a couple of verses of Scripture to support what I had written, so I think it is Scriptural! How about some more, e.g. Exodus 32:14 (WEB): (14) Yahweh repented of the evil which he said he would do to his people. or if you prefer the KJV: (14) And the LORD repented of the...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    Suffering tribulation is not works. Sacrificing your will in order to conform to God's will is not really works either; as Paul said, it is reasonable service - Romans 12:1-2 (KJV): (1) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice...
