Well, I was just having a little fun with you, Angelina. Come on. Surely there's a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittle bit of a sense of humor in there somewhere... :) Seriously, though, my post (146) was very thorough. I'm not concerned with what you consider to be a waste of your time. Grace and...

You get that from what Barney has said? Do you really think that's what Barney is saying? Or even the effect of what he's saying? Really? My sweet Lord... :) Grace and peace to you, babe. I mean, uh, Robert. :)

And you yours. Sure. I did for the many references I made in that post, except for Philippians 2, specifically verse 6, regarding Christ's being was in the form of God, which I have cited specifically many times in this very thread. And Philippians 2... I mean, it would have taken you...

He does try to imitate God, yes. Such total lack of understanding on your part. Or avoidance. Or both. But in any case, utterly astounding. It's good to laugh at yourself from time to time. Good on you. Yes, I totally agree that your comments are terribly silly. Most of them anyway, and...

Particular sins, no. Right. But that's not what's really in view, what the real issue is. The brokenness, the proneness to sin. In that way, yes, sin is in the world. The fallen-from-grace state of all of creation, including all naturally-born human beings. See, no. The key word here is...

Okay, think what you want to think. You're your own man, certainly. Grace and peace to you.

Like I said, in a totally ignorant way, yes. But... that's... not good. :) Yeah, me, too. :) Grace and peace to you.

Okay, I'll accept that, sure, but why are we prone to do the former (disobey the Lord)? Even if, as "babes," we haven't actually done it yet? Why do we have to learn to do otherwise (obey the Lord)? See, Bobby, it's not about actual acts of righteousness or unrighteousness. Grace and peace...

I fully realize this wasn't intended for me, but I'm pretty confident that Angelina and I think pretty much alike on this subject, so I'll answer: She's not teaching that particular sins are inherited, Robert. She's saying that sinfulness... the natural proclivity to sin... the state of...

LOL! In a totally ignorant way, yes. Grace and peace to you, Robert.

Well, I would say, rather, that this whole "tolerance" thing has been foisted upon everybody, including Christians. And now we as Christians have to walk with at least some modicum of carefulness in the world in which we find ourselves. As you might or might not agree, as Christians, we are...

Ah, you're not thinking. Right, well, why? It's a rhetorical question, but there are reasons why people decide or choose anything. So, why? Again, rhetorical, really. No, it's actually because of the "addiction" (in quotes because in actuality it's something quite different). It is true...

Meh. Rubbish. Just ridiculous. Such willful ignorance. Your "sympathies..." LOL! And I am absolutely not a member of the Roman Catholic Church. Yeah, not doing that... But what you're doing here is defining both good and evil for yourself according to your own "feelings" and attributing...

With regard to sin, generally speaking, we inherit or proclivity to it. In a manner of speaking, from birth, we're like the newborn child of a cocaine addict. Like David, we were brought forth in iniquity; we were in sin from our conception by our mothers (Psalm 51:5). Grace and peace to you...

It is scriptural evidence, along with Psalm 51:5, that we are all born in sin and thus sinners. However, I don't think Scott is offering it as evidence that if they die, they die in sin. Or, maybe he is. He can speak to that, but I think he would agree ~ or maybe not ~ that God can still, by...

It is most assuredly a big deal. First and second things are very, very important in the Bible. We can cite here what Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 15, that: "The first man (Adam) was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man (Jesus) is from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are...

Proving your point wrong... :) Let me ask you something, Bobby. Speeding is a minor infraction, but if I believe I have ~ or even if I do actually have ~ a nasty habit of speeding, does that give me an excuse to speed? Well, no, of course not. Or by the same token ~ but much more serious ~...

Ah! So to address this, let's backtrack a bit regarding what Paul says here. Follow me here: When Paul says what he says in Romans 10:13, this is just after he has said, first in Romans 8:28-30, "God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose. For...

That we are sinners ~ all of us, regarding of age ~ really refers to what we are prone to by nature rather than woodenly what we have or have not done. And we are all prone to sin from conception. And even regarding actually committing sins, I would submit ~ very humbly ~ that people...

I don't think he is saying that. But again, he can speak for himself. Grace and peace to you.
