No! In context, it obviously means the second Adam is Jesus. Which you would know if you read Corinthians 15.

I've read the entire Bible, more than once. And you just skipped over my objection, so let me try to re-word it. God chose Israel, but Israel often chose to rebel against God. This is corporate election, that is, Isreal was chosen, but individual Jews were not compelled to believe. How could God...

Your answers are extremely simplistic. And you didn't tell me where the Bible says God impels us to believe. You be also have no understanding of what corporate election actually means. You have a deterministic universe where God is doing everything and we are just along for the ride... That's...

He responds to the Holy Spirit's call. If there's no choice, then saying we must put our trust in God is ridiculous. That would be God putting his trust in himself. The Spirit convicts, and we either submit or resist. If we have no free will, then any talking of resisting or submitting is...

You know where this is from right? Exodus 33....where Moses gets in an argument with God and wins. You read it a certain way, because you have been trained to read a certain way probably by a Calvinist Bible college. And the Lord said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked, because...

Okay let me stop you right there... This makes no sense whatsoever. God constantly complains about his people rebelling against him, and you are contradicting yourself. They could not be individually chosen as believers, or he would have nothing to complain about...so why would they have free...

Have you ever really studied arminianism? Where does it say God is impelling us? It says in John 6 that at all who learn from the father come to him. There are conditions. All who come are not cast out, but they can fall away by themselves. He chose a group called believers, not individuals...

I would say arminius's words here: "It is an eternal and gracious decree of God in Christ, by which he determines to justify and adopt believers, and to endow them with eternal life but to condemn unbelievers, and impenitent persons." Run counter to individual election... He's saying we are...

We should be start here: "He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world." "In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit," "Heard" and...

Seriously... go read the chapter, you're making yourself look foolish.

Then " forced" would be exactly the right word if that were the way that should be interpreted. Did the people that he said that to walk in perfect obedience all the days of their lives? Not.

Yep it does. 20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. 22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.

Yeah that's Jesus.

I do believe him. I believe the spiritual reality of his sacrificed flesh being for our spiritual nourishment. But my physical diet doesn't include human flesh. He was speaking of spiritual truth in John 6...that he was sent from God and not just the Carpenter's son. Most of them were thinking...

29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.” 39And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. 40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him...

1 Corinthians 15 If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. 46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. 47 The first man was of the dust...

Sure, but heaven would burn them too, IMO. One who hates God cannot stand to be in his presence let alone praise him.

I'm not sure about this statement? I tend to think at that point their choice is fixed forever, and they would not be happy in heaven either.

Maybe ask one question at a time? So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. 1 Corinthians 15:45 Seems pretty plain to me.. Adam was the first man.

The John 6 passage isn't about communion. It's about believing in the messiah.
