    Got modded on Christianforums for...

    Same story here! I left there well over a year ago. The liberal moderators there will shut you down in a minute if you are hard on the Dems. They drag their politics into the Scripture and it's very evident. If I'm correct in what I understand, the new owner here is from CF.

    Why were animals affected by the Fall?

    I don't think that can be answered using Scripture. But the answer is because sin entered into this world. All animals were created vegetarians. We read in Gen. 1:30, " And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there...

    Romans 6-8/ What did Paul mean by the word "sin?"

    Yes, it was unbelief! Some ask why did God place man in that situation, with the possibility of all creation falling. I think it goes back to free will. Man in his free will can choose to disobey God, and God knows that he will. So God allowed man to fall to show man who he is with the power...

    Romans 6-8/ What did Paul mean by the word "sin?"

    Yes, you've got it figured out. No need for me to ramble on.

    Romans 6-8/ What did Paul mean by the word "sin?"

    God created Adam and Eve to live forever in the flesh! When sin came into the world it changed all of that, man brought both spiritual death and physical death upon himself. But when God's plan comes full circle, man will live in flesh forever through the resurrection. Have you ever wondered...

    Romans 6-8/ What did Paul mean by the word "sin?"

    Ok Robert, if that is your conclusion, there must be no sin nature for you. We will just leave it there.

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    It matters little to me what anyone else thinks. I know who I am, and who I will always be, a sinner saved by Grace, undeserving of anything from the Lord Just thankful Christ took upon Himself what I actually deserve.

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    You're forgetting something, BH, I will use myself as an example of the difference in the abusers and those who are not. When I said yes to Christ I came to the point that I realized who I am, I'm a sinner in need of a Saviour. That is what that message revealed to me sitting in that pew that...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    There is no doubt of the abusers of OSAS, but you lump the abusers and those who are not abusing in the same lump. Do you think that is fair? Do you believe all the OSAS believers are abusing God's grace?

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    If that's what you want to believe it's ok with me! If we have to stop sinning altogether to enter heaven, none of us will make it!

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    BH, let me show you how I understand Ephesians 5:5-7. "For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    Let's look at 2 Thes. 2:11-12 for example. "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." It is those who "believed not the truth" that had pleasure in...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    So you write me a book in response to my criticism? It's all about damage control, right BH? I'm going to make a single response to the first thing I see that needs a response. I don't like picking posts apart dealing with several things at once. I like to make points, direct points without...

    The Problems of Perpetual Belief Alone Salvation-ism.

    I just watched the video for the first time, and I can tell you I totally and completely disagree with this guy! He's teaching the same as you, BH, and that is Law! It's plain to see this guy believes the same as you, we are saved by grace through faith, but to remain saved we must do and...

    The Sin Nature

    Peter, James and John had a glimpse of the glory of Christ at the transfiguration. But the mortal eyes of the flesh cannot bear all the glory of Christ. When they seen the face of Christ shining as the sun, that was just what the mortal eyes could see without perishing. But when we "shall be...

    Romans 6-8/ What did Paul mean by the word "sin?"

    Paul was a very educated person, especially in the Law. When he became a believer and was given the revelation of Christ, which is actually the meaning of the New Covenant, that knowledge of the Law was magnified in truth. He is always going to the Law with all of his teachings, and with the...

    Romans 6-8/ What did Paul mean by the word "sin?"

    This OP came from a discussion with Robert, I'm waiting for him to engage when he is ready. I hope we can follow Paul in especially Rom. 6-7 to clarify what is being said. Rom. 6-8 is very difficult to understand, well I will say impossible to understand if we can't establish the fact of an...

    Romans 6-8/ What did Paul mean by the word "sin?"

    Yes, that's a well stated summary! The point I want to get across with this OP is that we all have a problem with sin, but before we can do anything about it, we must understand what we are dealing with. Paul goes to much explaining on this issue, we need to understand what he is explaining if...

    Romans 6-8/ What did Paul mean by the word "sin?"

    No, I didn't address your post properly, I was hoping to start covering Rom. 6-7 with Robert to breakdown what Paul is saying about the bondage of sin, in other words what we call the sin nature. What I want to point out is that Paul is not speaking of any particular acts of sin in these 2...

    Romans 6-8/ What did Paul mean by the word "sin?"

    There's no confusion, man cannot overcome sin but through Christ. That is the sum of the OP.
