Thanks. So spiritual death happens after someone sins, just like Adam, and yet Adam was not born spiritually dead. He died that day he chose to disobey God's command and thus died spiritually. See how no one is literally born a sinner? The need for the rebirth and regeneration comes later after...

I don't think that's accurate. Let me put it this way and see if I can get clarification. If someone needs to be born "again" then when was their first spiritual death?

According to Romans 2:6-11, God is not showing favoritism based on any conditions. It simply says that "God will repay each one according to their deeds"..."trouble and every distress for every human who does evil"..."glory and honor for everyone who does good." Paul described salvation as...

The final judgement is works-based. Rewards are given, whether they be good or bad. What do you think the bad rewards are for someone who already has eternal security? Paul suggested it's a loss of eternal life because eternal life is only finally granted after the judgement based on someone's...

No that's wrong.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the way the wording of the Greek in John 10:36 reads to me is that Jesus was claiming to be [a] son of The God. Where I got that is there doesn't seem to be any definite article attached to son, but there is a definite article attached to God. I think Jesus was...

Yes, Jesus did call them gods. I believe Jesus was trying to disarm the situation because it could have potentially escalated into another incident that ended with Jesus almost getting stoned. His point was, contrary to their accusations that Jesus had claimed to be God, which is something he...

Heresy can be subtle and I think sometimes we may not even realize we're doing it. For example, you suggested we should ask Jesus for forgiveness in prayer and then quoted Jesus' only teaching about prayer that explicitly directed his disciples to pray only to the Father. So technically your...

The "early church" went off the rails fast as the gospel went around to different cultures. It went from strict monotheism to something that resembles paganism and it has survived to the present day.

If that were the case then you must be a universalist. The other side of the coin is Calvinism.

Unfortunately it's not faith alone. Faith in what? Is God making anyone open their mouth and confess that Jesus is lord and that He raised him from the dead?

I am curious what each person's perspective is on this. While it's true that the Bible says a lot about the body of Jesus being sacrificed, I believe we should dig a little deeper to fully grasp what happened. First, I would like to discuss the human body. The human body itself, as far as sin...

I'm perfectly fine with rejecting non-Scriptural gospels.

You seem to have rightly identified that Catholicism is not Christianity, but they just make it very obvious. Protestantism got literally all of its doctrines from the Catholics roots they cleaved off from. If you're a Protestant, I would check very closely what you are being taught at church or...

Jesus isn't God though. Jesus is God's chosen servant, the one God anointed, empowered, and sent into the world. I believe Jesus was sacrificed. The Bible says Jesus died and when he died it wasn't just the body of Jesus that died because any one's body can die. Can I ask you how just a body of...

No limited atonement is not the gospel.

What I said was true. Being one with God is something Jesus said others can have in John 17:20-23 and the conclusion isn't that they are immortal. Also, I might add, Jesus' soul was not immortal. It was sacrificed, i.e., his soul died. Isaiah 53 10Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath...

I would rather an atheist present the gospel correctly than a fanatical Calvinist preach a false gospel.

Limited atonement is a heretical false doctrine. Scripture proves it.

That's true. Physical churches tend to attract like-minded people and they all gather together and agree, mostly. Online is a bit like the wild west. It isn't really sorted out yet. It might help to start filtering people with bans but the Internet is pretty open in a general sense. I would...
