I would say God has endowed animals with abilities that bring Him glory, but they do not have a conscience knowledge/understanding of their Creator. Animals know only that which comes naturally from God to them. The only way to know the Spirit of God from the fall is to have the Spirit of God...

The difference between the spirit (breath of life) given mankind and animals WAS in the beginning the ability to communicate with God. That's what set animals and humans apart. Animals never possess this ability. And man lost that ability when they heeded the voice of evil and disobeyed God...

Your dog could not have physical life without spirit. The spirit is the breath of life that every living breathing creature has to give their body physical life. The animal kingdom possesses a spirit or breath of life just as humankind also does. Genesis 2:7 (KJV) And the LORD God formed...

I know this is a common doctrine taught, but according to the creation account in Genesis we read that God created man from dust of the earth and breathed the breath of life (spirit) into him and man became a living soul. Genesis 2:7 (KJV) And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the...

Romans 11:2 (KJV) God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,

They were broken off their own NATURAL tree because of unbelief. If we say we have faith and believe in Christ, but then like the natural branches, it will be shown that we too are in unbelief. You underlined the caveat, we MUST continue in His goodness, and if we do not we show ouselves to be...

Or the remnant according to election of grace symbolically (144,000) showing faithful saints who died believing in Messiah to come. They are included in the innumerable multitude that come from every nation, tribe, kindred and tongue. These are seen again, after being sealed by the Spirit, in...

Yes, this is a common tactic of some when attempting to understand the prophetic words of Christ from the Mt of Olives. It's symbolic when that fits your doctrinal point of view, but when it doesn't it must be interpreted literally! Which is why I disagree with your claim! You want it both...

You need to read the letter to the Romans in CONTEXT! Paul shows us that before we are born again we are natural man, which is what he is describing when he says "there are none righteous, none that seek God"! That is what ALL mankind are before they are born again! I don't really care what...

Mankind is not destined to physically die because of Adam's particular transgression! We are destined to physical death because death through sin entered into God's creation when Adam sinned. For this reason death is passed unto all mankind, because there are none righteous, no, not one...

If you're following my replies to TS you'll know why I believe the Olivet Discourse must be discerned as dual fulfillment. The prophesy is not only literally fulfilled against the apostate nation, it is also being spiritually fulfilled for the disciples of Christ in every age.

Christ speaking of the Jews holy city and temple was indeed speaking of its utter literal destruction, and that prophesy was fulfilled in 70 AD. Christ also spoke to His first century Jewish disciples, as well as His disciples in every age, of Him giving His life on the cross, and telling us His...

Some seem not to believe that God doesn't need our help to give eternal life to whosoever believes by grace through faith!

How do you reconcile the verses you believe say we can lose our salvation with verses that say the life we receive through Christ when we believe is eternal? There cannot be contradiction in the Word of God! Btw I don't hear anyone but those of you who believe our eternal life can be forfeited...

Problem for some is that they have no concept or understanding of the word 'eternal'!

All have sinned, but not all have died! Unless of course you mean that sin brought physical death upon every living breathing creature upon the earth, and one day we shall all physically die. We don't die when we sin, we sin because we are born with the natural nature of Adam, who introduced...

God created man with a body and a spirit or breath of life, to give the body physical life. What God created He said was, "very good." Man had the ability to live forever IF he obeyed God. We all know of Adam's disobedience. God said that on the day man disobeyed God they would DIE! They...

Paul was not referring to physical death when he says we were DEAD in trespasses and sins. He was speaking of how we are spiritually DEAD before new birth. I agree when Adam sinned all of his progeny would be born physically alive, spiritually DEAD. And they will remain spiritually DEAD in...

This is not quite accurate. Because the physical destruction in 70 AD was foretold by Christ when the disciples pointed to the physical city and physical buildings. Yes, I realize and understand the spiritual fulfillment of these things through the crucifixion of Christ, but you cannot deny...

If not the natural spirit in us, what does Paul mean when he says, we are DEAD in trespasses and sins before we are born again?
