how does a thread like this go 70 pages when we have such clear scripture as Hebrews 2:9 ?? oh yeah. people are stupid, almost forgot. people will argue that salvation is by works for tens of thousands of pages even tho the scripture says absolutely the opposite in no uncertain terms. they'll...

Here is a question: Who is responsible for you grossly misunderstanding me? Was it by your own will, or were you a helpless cog in God's grand scheme?

I found the sermon Christless and uninformative, and the 'rood' podcast a bit of a waste of time. Not sure what you wanted me to get from that? Adam had exactly one wife, and she had two names. He named her 'Woman' when she was created and God brought her to him, and then at their sentencing...

you need to pay attention to Romans 1-7 we, in Christ, through faith, are made new, reconciled with God. we wait for the completion of our redemption, "to wit" our bodies being fully brought into conformity with the image of Him -- but He has given us a surety, a new heart and a portion of His...

i'll listen to the sermon on my commute tomorrow morning.

some context would clear away the fog here: For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was...

BTW i'm pretty sure when God tells Adam "because you listened to the voice of your wife" He's indicating that Adam, undeceived, made a choice ;)

um, you're accusing me of this because i asked a string of obvious questions that absolutely everyone who is conscious & reads Genesis 2-4 should ask? wow this is a very weird forum.

i guess you haven't noticed but i'm talking about Genesis 2-4, not about your hypercalvinism. it's important.

uh huh... nobody said that, ever. i asked you why Adam & his wife were not cursed - why only Satan & the ground 'for Adam's sake' ?

{belief/unbelief} is binary. please state plainly: is your position that Adam & his wife are unbelievers?

this is inconsistent with them being judged separately. so why did God say "Behold!!" Adam is become like one of ((the)) Us? the Hebrew says 'the' man -- definite article, and singular -- indicating it's specifically Adam, not 'a man' and not 'mankind'

i didn't say she was a replacement. i asked why Adam called his wife Woman by the name Eve at the moment that he did so. he changed her name ((lol not change wives)) -- why?

what does 'naked' mean? did they know they were dead? did Adam know his wife was dying when she approached him with the fruit? why didn't they eat of the tree of life? why choose to cover themselves? why choose fig leaves?

Friend you don't seem to have understood any of what I asked. I asked why they only ate of the tree of dying-ye-shall-die? Why did they not eat of the tree of life afterwards? They clearly could have. They had plenty of time, but they made tunics of fig leaves instead. Why?

first of all thanks! i really enjoyed reading that; it's well thought out and informative this use of polyptoton is a common device in the Hebrew scripture -- 'dying you shall die' is the literal word-for-word translation of 'you shall surely die' and 'multiplying I will multiply your sorrow'...

and how many German or Czech translations were ever read from in the pulpit? liturgy was always Latin. while it's true that most people who could read in the middle ages, learned to read Latin -- that's the nobility and scholars in monasteries. the lay population didn't speak Latin in Europe...

Before the reformation that was all in Latin and you would not understand any of it. Ask yourself why the RCC would murder tens of thousands of people before letting any of them get a chance to understand what the Bible actually says? Because it was a cesspool getting ridiculously wealthy by...

The only copies of scripture in the RCC were in Latin before the reformation, which no one spoke, and mass was in Latin. The RCC killed people for translating the scripture into languages they understood - literacy or not. In the 15th century if you went to a church you would have no idea what...

No friend, because the reformation allowed us to have the scripture, we don't need the authority of the bishop to validate our faith. We have the word of God, which is His own testimony, and the testimony of His prophets and apostles. But more than anything we have the authority of having been...
