The unfallen would not be classified as men.

It should be clear that our Lord Himself violated the sabbath day (John 5:16-18, Exodus 20:10). Did He therefore sin? No; because He was High priest according to the order of Melchizedec; and He was not come after a carnal commandment but after the power of an endless life. He was of the...

Sure it does. Eve was "the mother of all living" before Cain was born....was not Cain the firstborn whom she called a man? If there were no children before Cain and before the fall, how or why was she the mother of all living?

Actually, Eve was said to be the mother of all living even before Cain was born. Therefore, I believe that Adam and Eve had children who were not subjected to the curse (elves?).

There aren't any nails in my coffin, friend. I mean that it is the principle or element of sin within the carnal believer that sins rather than the carnal believer himself. Romans 7:14-25 describes the plight of the carnal man as opposed to the spiritual man (see 1 Corinthians 3:1). Rom...

That kind of tactic might work for people who do not know that they know that they know that they are saved; but for people like me it runs off like water off of a duck's back. You should take that scripture to heart in your own life, @mjrhealth; for if you do not believe that Jesus is the...

That is doctrine that is not faithful; in alignment with gnosticism. It is to say that Adam was not come in the flesh when he was without sin; and it implies that because Jesus is without sin, He is not come in the flesh. However, that is unfaithful doctrine (1 John 4:1-3, 2 John 1:7).

That is not proof that the skin and flesh did not come from the hides of animals.

I am not afraid for you to judge my doctrine; I confess wholeheartedly that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh.

Do you have any biblical proof for that?

Since it is the truth I am not afraid of any judgment coming from the Lord. You have denied Him. And, even if you hadn't, there are most certainly people who have denied Him contrary to your statement above. Yes, of course, sin does the sinning. Did you fail to read Romans 6:6, which tells...

God is a Spirit (John 4:24) who inhabits eternity (Isaiah 57:15). How do you explain this apart from making a distinction between the Father and the Son? Your entire post that this was located in was good; however this statement is in alignment with gnostic teaching. But, thumbs up on all...

It is implied in Genesis 3:21. I suppose that you have the right to interpret it differently. Before also.

Do you confess that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh? (I think you do or else you have the spirit of antichrist, 1 John 4:1-3, 2 John 1:7). How do you see this reality in light of Isaiah 57:15, John 4:23-24?

Doing well...and you?

Why not? (see Luke 1:37)

That sounds like gnosticism to me. You can be sure that Adam and Eve had physical bodies.

Actually the Lord killed an animal to provide skins for Adam and Eve as a first example of the concept that the wages of sin is death. Abel followed that example when he made his first sacrifice and his offering was accepted rather than Cain's.

The holy scriptures testify of Christ. Those who don't come to the Christ that the scriptures testify of are not willing to come to Him that they might have life.

There is a work of the flesh identified as heresies. So the fact that there is not unity among believers does not mean that there isn't one truth of the Bible concerning every issue but that because it appeals to the flesh, certain people jump on rabbit trails and come up with things that...
