KC, You may only involve yourself in these discussion as strictly exercises in debate but I see them more as a spiritual ministry (to give and receive). Am I wrong in assuming you pray for others you are conversing with? I guess I am. You must be of the opinion that we cannot spiritually "see"...

The Reality is Christ. He is the fulfillment of all things. Luk_24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me...

Rex, I'm not sure who you are speaking to. My point was that Adam and Eve DID NOT have a sin nature. I don't believe Scott and dragonfly are talking about being "perfect" and "sinless". How do you get that? If being "beguiled" sin or acting upon the beguilement/deception? "the serpent...

We have never said "demon possession". The name of that thread is "Can Demons Inhabit Christians". I was really hoping you would consider what I just said rather than getting off on a tangent. CRD says, "how can Christians sin without a sinful nature"? Simple, the same way Adam and Eve...

The answers are in many threads already dedicated to this OP. The real answer is "In Christ". Selah.

Hi CRD, I'll keep it short. Where did Adam and Eve's sin come from? Did it come from their "sinful nature", their "old man"? (Did they have an "old man"?) Or did it come from knowledge (lies) and their decision (choice) to lust for that knowledge? Where did this knowledge come from? Did it...

Hi dragonfly, Yes, I quite agree. Well, I wouldn't call them "artificial characterizations", but neither would I present any individual one as ALL the truth.

Hi Scott, Glad you took the time to read Jim's article and thank you!! I have read a lot of Jim's stuff and he is definitely not Reformed though you may think so from one article. Also, his model of atonement is the Spiritual/Ontological one as opposed to the Legal/Penal model. Here is a...

Excellent, Scott. Especially... Read the section on "the flesh" about a third of the way own. Christ at Work in You

Union with God is not a one time "happening", but is a daily life that manifests fruit (godliness, righteousness, purity, love, etc). Keeping the commands of Christ is a manifestation of our love for Him and hatred of anything that is not of Him (sin, flesh, world, devil). Keeping the commands...

Does your Bible COMMAND you to DEPART FROM INIQUITY? 2Ti_2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. Why would it say this if you could not say NO? Or...

Hey there everyone, I wish I had time to participate in this but I don't. So, I thought I would contribute this link by James Fowler and hope it enriches your conversation further. Concepts and Models of the Atonement <- Click here The work of Christ is explained in Scripture by utilizing...

Wormwood, As you point out, Eve relied on her experience (actually, the experience of her senses) and one big LIE. But there are spiritual experiences that are reliable. Such as the New Birth (Holy Spirit regeneration), the presence of the Lord, etc. The following scriptures speak much...

I know people and testimonies of those who had great faith and they refused medication for their child and their child died. I can share the stories with you. I am not trying to cause you to doubt God. I think you are proposing a theological fallacy that all sickness and disease are the result...

Is that all? No response to my questions or the scriptures I listed. God bless you, too and your children. Axehead

MJR is exactly right, Selene. We all need to see the truth about our precious "idols", whether Protestant or Catholic and understand that it is all part of religious Babylon. Jesus commands us to "come out of her", MY PEOPLE. Of course only "HIS PEOPLE" will understand and respond because the...

I don't have any problem with plastic surgery to help a burn victim or if someone's face was bit off by a chimpanzee. I don't have any problem with someone getting a kidney transplant. I know someone that has had lung replacement because she has cycstic fibrosis. She is not saved, but because...

Selene, do you really not know what you are a part of or are you a knowing enabler? A Bloody Past 1096 Roman Catholic crusaders slaughter half the Jews in Worms, Germany. 1098 Roman Catholic crusaders slaughter almost all of the inhabitants of the city of Antioch. 1099 Roman Catholic...

They had two-sided copies back then? And no dremel tool?

Hopefully, Selene can begin to connect the dots, mjr.
