I take it you've never had a pet, huh?? Never pay much attention to any life that's not human? Animals are living souls. If you think they have no will then you are saying that about people, too, who are also animals ((Ecclesiastes 3:18)) Vegetarianism isn't required of us in this life, but...

does God sin against you, since your body will also die?

that link is absolutely ludicrous. i'm not in any way trying to talk you out of a vegetarian diet, which is commendable IMO. the original creation was this way, and the ressurection will also be. but consider Pascha. what is the law of Pascha? how is it kept? everyone eats a lamb. all of it...

why is every living soul brought by God for Adam to name? ((Genesis 2:19))

not so. you clearly don't understand Genesis 3: we need to fix that before you can competently discuss whether the scripture indicates man is created with free will. so there are fundamental things 100% necessary and apropos to be discussed as a foundation for the essential thread topic. these...

Thinking of Who is the flaming sword Good night

No, but Christ: Joshua 5:13-15 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, "[Are] You for us or for our adversaries?" So He said, "No, but [as]...

I like how this describes infinitely increasing government 'big government' in this case is desirable, and to be grateful for. The existence of free will is undeniable. It's the extent to which that will is free that may be debated. The older I get, the more I long to be His 'robot' - to be...

As, Luke 9:57-62 Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, [that] someone said to Him, "Lord, I will follow You wherever You go." And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air [have] nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay [His] head." Then He said to another, "Follow...

Sure there is Luke 15:5-6 And when he has found [it,] he lays [it] on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together [his] friends and neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!' Love that one, it came straight to mind =]

Salt is antiseptic Salt preserves flesh Amen, every offering must be with salt

Not 'disappear' Covered, like with a robe. A tunic. Atonement is covering But there is also the idea of sin being taken away - something the blood of the creature can't do. Our Lord's divine-human blood, The Lamb, does this. It covers not only on the outside, like the blood on the altar, but...

For the same reason Jesus laid down His life for us. It ought to make us horrified and anguishingly sad. It ought to make us hate sin It ought to humble us, and prod us to cry for mercy & hunger for righteousness Think of how Adam felt when that first lamb died in order for him to have a new...

Like the other ark, of the testimony, covered inside and out with gold The priest sprinkled it with blood - a covering - once a year, to atone for the sins of Israel In Leviticus blood-covering is for atonement for sin. The life is in the blood. An innocent substitute, their blood on the...

The word in Genesis 6:14 isn't pitch It's כָּפַר (kaphar) Which is literally the word "atonement" ;)

Compare this: Genesis 14:21 Now the king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the persons, and take the goods for yourself." With this: Matthew 4:8-9 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him...

Lot & Mrs Lot Two unmarried daughters These 4 are rescued ((19:15)) Two sons-in-law Lot talks to Their wives, his other 2 daughters ((19:14)) These 4 more are left How you get to 10 is here: Genesis 19:12 Then the men said to Lot, "Have you anyone else here? Son-in-law, your sons, your...

That's really interesting comment, thank you! I'm not sure if you meant none of the 10 relatives of Abraham, or none of the 9 apart from Lot ((because Peter calls him righteous)), or none of the 6 that remained in the city? I guessed that you meant none of the 9 apart from Lot, or none of the...

that does not follow. God promised that if 10 righteous were in the city, He would spare it. God removed 4 of Abraham's family. God made one of those 4 a sign. 2 of the 6 that remained scoffed at Lot. that means 4 may have been righteous.
