Well Aspen2, you're almost right. :) 1. God is actively Sovereign in the governance of his world and has particular eye on his children. 2. You're correct in saying Job was not being punished for his sins. 3. You're are not correct in that he did have the residual sin of self-righteousness to...

Cheers RW. Here is the qualifier. :) Gen 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. Gen 2:15-16 And the LORD God took the man...

Here's the Correct understanding: :) 2Co 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. μετάνοια metanoia met-an'-oy-ah From G3340; (subjectively) compunction (for guilt, including reformation); by implication...

If Adam had eternal life then there would be no purpose in barring the TREE of LIFE. Read closely God's response in Genesis. :)

Well... If one walks like a duck & talks like a duck, then a duck they're. :lol:

Cheers! :)

Suicide is self murder. If it was done from repentance don't you think God may have something to say about that. But alas, where did he end up. Humanism often looks like love, repentance etc. But it's a poor substitute as you can see in Judas.

Your analogy stinks. There's a world of difference between human beings 'made in image of God' and animals. Whose image were they made in? A: Their own. Besides, animals are created with an inborn antenna to follow it's parent(s). No choice at all. So, skip the evolution push a just stick to...

With the inception of sin into the world I can imagine a 'developing decay' in all things. Particularly when sin is practiced without restraint. If a person is conceived with certain strong immoral tendencies-and the frequency is there- then I would suggest to you that the decay within society...

Not strictly true. Judas, made his own decision, God didn't force him but rather utilized him. This can also show that one may be a follower of Jesus the man but not God in the flesh and will die in his sins. It also indicates that will worship is useless & to choose to follow christ without...

... Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, and said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they two shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined...

1Co 14:21-22 In the law(Isaiah 28:11) it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying...

Initially Cain lived on his own. It isn't until later he gets himself a bride. :) NB: Because he suggested to God he would be the subject of possible numerous beatings and even death doesn't suggest at the time there were other people existing.

I disagree. The peace of Christ is always there and it assists in the turmoil of life so as not to allow life destroy us. Even if our soul complains or screams out at times the peace of Christ keeps the ebbs of life steady.

I think it's a personal matter between the Saint and God, when it comes to such practices. Beware of the leaven of the pharisees! They bind their interpretative rules on you and call it spiritual. Yet they arrest the commandments of God to their own destruction. :mellow:

Sounds like romanticism to me. Dark and hard to understand. I suppose because it's diabolical. Jesus said, MY PEACE to I give you, not as the world gives. The LORD JESUS CHRIST is my PEACE.

No problems with the military terminology. :) As to the rest that you said, it has touched a deep place. SHALOM to you.

I enjoy science like any man. Indeed, I've spent the better part of life in the science(s) - "electrical engineering industry". I use to think it was exciting to see science establish/support biblical truths. These days however I see science as a hindrance to the TRUTH. As in most peoples minds...

No John. What I'm saying is since the banishment of Cain by God considerable period of time had expired. It would have to have been a daughter from the line of Adam and Eve, whether that's by another sibling or not for him to marry. Think in terms of 100's of years not tens of years, before...

One thing that might be good advice is that you pay strict attention to the definition of love and it's application. For instance if you look a little closer you will find that love of God is used in a moral sense(love thy neighbour) and in an intimate sense(he loves his own). Yet both these...
