But, if that were the case, you would be saying that every single soul who gets condemned to the second death had already received Christ. I don't think that that is tenable. Not to be argumentative.

I was just wondering why it was called "the second death" when we already have two deaths (physical and spiritual). LOL

Yeah, it says there is a second death, but I didn't know if it was differentiating itself from physical death, but, then, sinners are already spiritually dead, so if they die physically that would be two deaths already--so I speculated that it is called "second death" because it refers to a...

I am a little confused on this. I ask because "second death" would seem to differentiate itself from "physical death", but Adam and all his progeny die because of sin, so does the "second death" differ from the "spiritual death" sinners are already in during their physical lives? Maybe it's...

1 Corinthians 9:26-1 Corinthians 10 show that salvation can be jeopardized by sin--that just as the Jews fell under God's wrath and forfeited His promise after having been saved, so, Christians can fall under God's wrath and forfeit His promise after being saved. Some object, "This isn't about...

I hope it's edifying.

Lol I hope it's understood those verses weren't added just for ornament

"Conflict of interest" destroys the very foundation of science they trust in instead of God and God's morality--yet, without morality, which they don't have when they reject Christ, they're left with nothing.

It's both: as you say, we really are a new creation, and the old really has gone, and yet we are to lay aside the old self and put the new self on. Ephesians 4 20But you did not learn Christ in this way, 21if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus...

Shame, fear, and fleeing and hiding (Pr 28:1; Heb 10:38,39; 1 Jn 2:28, 3:23,24, 5:21; Rv 3:17, 16:15). Genesis 3 7And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; so they sewed together fig leaves and made coverings for themselves. 8Then the man and his wife heard...

One thought on 7th Day Sabbath: that was a commemoration of the rest God took after creating the old creation, so, if God does another act of creating, then He would have a new rest, and there would be a new commemoration of the new rest from the new act of creating. Well, we are a new...

The "one law" all God's people are bound to (Ro 14:5) is "let every man be fully convinced in his own mind"; paradoxically, this results in varied expressions of "the obedience of faith" (Ro 1:15), as shown in Romans 14: 1) "14I am convinced and fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is...

We're not under Law, but by being under Grace (Ro 6:14), the "righteous requirement" of the Law is fulfilled in us by God (Ro 8:4), and so we fulfill "the entire law" (Ro 2:6-16, 26, 27, 3:31, 13:8-10). The Law isn't even God's exact will, because it contains concessions for wicked/hard hearted...

Prove I'm wrong. Address the Scriptural points I've made. I only note, as an aside, that historical Christianity has agreed with me. Is that actually a negative? Yes, I follow men: Peter, John, Paul and their disciples. Oh no!

Nope, it's both: "obey, for it is God at work" Php 2:12,13

Let me know when you're ready to prove that Romans 2:6-16 doesn't teach that eternal life will be only be repaid doers of good at the coming judgment.

Nope, that's not what it means to be under Law. Being under Law means to read and serve God by the Law of Moses. The difference between what I am saying and being under Law is that I am saying God works in you and you are to walk by that working.

Me: Scripture says it, I believe it--all of it. You: Nonsense. Exactly.

What I try to "get" is what Scripture says--exactly what I've shared with you--and you're saying "No, I believe something else." I mean, yes, people can know God without having perfect theology--I think you can be Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Protestant, Monergistic, Synergistic, and know...

OK the readers will have to decide who they believe has been more faithful to what is written.
