The common translation/interpretation of Acts 13:48 is wrong. First the statement that they were appointed to eternal life stands in direct contrast and conflict with verse 46 where the blaspheming Jews "judged themselves" i.e., decided for themselves to reject eternal life. So how can that...

You are proclaiming is that God is incapable of effectively communicating with the unregenerate. Either that or God intentionally chooses to not effectively communicate with the unregenerate. In that case, there can be no blame attached to the unregenerate for the failure to obey God. The...

The "natural man" in 1 Corinthians 2:14 is in contrast to the divinely inspired (spiritual) man, i.e., apostles and prophets. The entire chapter, chapter 2 of 1 Corinthians is Paul's statement and defense of his, and the apostles, divine inspiration. Sorry, Pinseeker, you are only a natural...

Those two statements are incompatible. The condition of dead in sin is a condition of the spirit. That condition cannot be passed down from parent to child -- Spirit, not flesh, begets spirit. The spirit of man comes from God (Zech 12:1; Eccl 12:7); it does not come from flesh, i.e., from...

I think Hebrews 4:3 is in reference back to the creation event itself and God's resting on the seventh day from all His work of creation and really do not relate to the problem at hand. Heb 4:3 For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said, "AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH, THEY SHALL...

Forgive me, but I think you are being misled by the KJV, perhaps in its old world version of English. (NASB) Rev 13:8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain...

Where does Scripture tell us that Christ is the Lamb slain before creation?

God said that of "all He had made" (Gen 1;31). And yes, all that He had made was very good, including His prime creation, man. It is important to understand that everything, including man and everything about him, was just as God intended. This "sinful flesh" that you have such distain for is...

Maybe it is mostly your language that is confused. Peace!

Rom 9:6 But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel;

What does that even mean?

John 10:30 "I and the Father are one." Another one of those things we don't fully understand with the trinity.

Physically, yes. The child of an alcoholic will most likely suffer as a result of the parents addition. But they will not suffer eternal condemnation based upon anything other than their own sins.

Jesus offered Himself up for our sins.

Where do you get that stuff? Not from the Bible.

Ridiculous. Chapter and verse please.

He doesn't.

God never punishes A for B's sin.

I think that what you said is not correct. It sounds good to blame someone else for your own mistakes, but in the case of sin, it is always you.

Sin is lawlessness (1 John 3:4). It is a conscious decision to disobey the law.
