Notice how Paul doesn't sugar coat it for unbelieving Jews! He tells them without apology that as long as they remain in unbelief they shall be damned. He doesn't give unbelieving Jews false hope by telling them not to worry for they shall all in the end be saved.

The only apparent bigot here seems to be you! No one is belittling ethnic Israel, or if you prefer Israel in unbelief. The only garbage being promoted to unbelieving Israel comes from so called Christian Zionists, like you who feel vindicated in promoting unbiblical doctrine toward them...

Excuse me, but since we are pointing our finger against another Christian, let me remind you that three fingers are pointing back at you! I don't appreciate being referred to as antisemitic! My Saviour came to earth, being born of the Jewish tribe of Judah! I hold no animosity toward Jews in...

I agree! And it "wokeness" is hell bent on destroying all things of Christ!

I don't see them as differing from one another. I've come to understand the Kingdom of God in heaven is the place of spiritually dwelling with the Lord not only during our lifetimes, but also after death when as spiritual body we depart from our body and ascend to the Kingdom of God in heaven...

I doubt that Adam did understand death! The dying of vegetation would not have taught man what dying of humankind meant. The death of vegetation shows that the seed must die to reproduce life. Perhaps it was in knowing that death was part of the cycle of life for vegetation, then death of...

Why do you assume that dying vegetation is not naturally part of their cycle of life?

Yes, using many verses from Scripture CONFIRMS a correct understanding! It's taking a verse here and there out of context to try to prove an assumed doctrine that proves error.

Do you believe when Gentiles become Christians they are no longer identified by their country of origin? It seems silly for me to say, but when a Gentile becomes a Christian, I don't have to read "Gentile Christian" explicitly to understand they are believers in Christ. Do you believe you've...

I was in agreement until you say the righteousness of God through faith was ever promised to ethnic Israel. The promise of righteousness of God through faith is only for those of ethnic Israel of faith. That's why Paul writes the hardness to them is only in part, because those of faith are not...

There are none righteous, no not one! If none are righteous, and none seek for God, why would they want forgiveness of sin they do not acknowledge? God chooses according to whom He desires. I have read that mankind should not seek to answer why God chooses whom He chooses and does not choose...

There was no death because the tree of life was there for them to partake of and live forever. The tree of life is symbolic of abiding always in God for life. When the tree of life was blocked that access to life through God was gone. It was in compassion for mankind that God blocked the way...

Every living breathing creature is a living soul. That means having a physical body endowed with the breath of life (spirit). What separates mankind from all other living creatures is that man may also possess the eternal life giving Spirit of Christ, if they have been born again.

As I've already said, death is the consequence for sin. Adam and Eve had access to the tree of life before they disobeyed God and brought death through sin into God's creation.

I think we're pretty much of the same thinking. What Scripture seems to be saying is that we enter into the Kingdom of God when we are born again. Of course we don't enter it physically, but spiritually, through the Spirit of Christ in us. That IMO is depicting the Kingdom of God in heaven...

I agree, but I'm wondering if using both is making a distinction between the spiritual Kingdom of heaven and the physical Kingdom of God to come to the new earth?

Physical death is not the result of sin? Then why does mankind physically die? You do understand how spiritual death leads to physical death in the lake of fire, which is the "second death"? The wages of sin is DEATH of both body and spirit IOW the complete living soul. That's why Adam and...

Have you not read of the righteousness through faith imputed to father Abraham? Was he not justified (declared righteous) when he believed by grace through faith (the gift of God) when he heard and believed the Gospel? James 2:23 (KJV) And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham...

I know this is what you want the Bible to tell us. But sadly the Bible does not agree with your assessment. If it were true that we are not dead in trespasses and sins until we commit trespasses and sins, why do even those who have never sinned died and are dying every single day? I'm...
