Even the animals have the breath of life. I don't think it only applies to Adam. It applying to animals also supports the notion that the breath of life sustains physical life. I'm not going to jump to the conclusion that it sustains physical life only, due to Jesus breathing on the disciples...

I'm curious on how the breath of life sustains people who are considered as spiritually dead. Like in the valley of dry bones. In that valley were bones of people who may still have been walking the earth but they were spiritually dead. Are all people basically on something like spiritual life...

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. The desire for eternal life is universal.

Breaking one part of the law is as breaking the whole thing. We are not under the law as gentiles but all who come to Jesus have been convicted of their sins by the Holy Spirit. One can be in love with the Spirit of Truth, even if they do not fully know the truth. He who seeks shall find...

This is a good point, the wicked choose evil very consistently. This consistency proves an ability to discern. It's like a rumor I heard of someone taking the SATs ( a test for those looking to enter University in the USA) and they did so badly on the test that randomly choosing from the...

It was explicitly stated that three of the five went out. 5-3=2

No, the nephilim became demons due to their being partly of a spiritual nature. Angels are entities with a spiritual nature. The term angel comes from their roles as messengers of God. Though it is imprecise as there are also fallen 'angels.' We are not made like the angels, but the new body...

Consider sins not on their own but as the outpouring of a heart bent towards sin. The heart is important to God, who searches the heart. Murderers, rapists, liars etc... actively follow their deciptful hearts bent towards the desires of the flesh. Someone with a mind reformed by Christ can not...

Some believe we have freedom to sin, these people are delusional. There is a cost to sin, and God decreed it be paid in blood. The blood of bulls and goats is no longer accepted to cover the sins of the people. Neither has this statute been eliminated from God's law. We can not even offer our...

God's kingdom is not of this world. He does establish earthly governments, but they are temporarily, a means to an end. They are appointed to punish wrongdoing. And as Babalon was raised up to punish Israel's idolatry, the sin of rejecting God will reap a similar reward through the erosion...

I was thinking of this the other day, how the devil provokes a reaction and then accuses and condemns that reaction. It happened with the crusades, as you always hear of it as a black mark on chrisondom. But you don't hear about violent Islamic expansion into Europe. Because if they had their...

Is the issue that everyone is observed as dying, so you take issue with the current promise that they shall not perish? So you have interpreted this as needing a future fulfillment to avoid a conflict with observations? It isn't so difficult to reconcile this statement from Jesus with reality...

I think it is fine to use the Holy Spirit/the Spirit of Christ /the Spirit of God conjunctively. The person of the Spirit need not have changed. While his relationship with man did change. Like you say the Holy Spirit would come upon people and make them prophecy. But now he indwells in the...

At Pentecost the Holy Spirit came upon the deciples. As Jesus said he must go before the helper would come, I believe the Holy Spirit to be the same Spirit that was in Christ while he lived on the earth. The timing was likely to not confuse the disciples, and to show that the Spirit of Christ...

Jesus could have said that anyone who blasphemes him is also blaspheming the Holy Spirit, but he did not. He made a distinction. And if it didn't apply to him it doesn't apply to us either. Matthew 12:30 “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. 31 And...

Jesus said "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first." It is a fallacy that hate begats hate. For the hatred was there already, on the side of the left. Because they are soulish, driven by emotions. The word of God either convicts them of their sins, or something else...

Many leave their churches, or denominations for various reasons, which may be legitimate. But in doing so we are effectively abandoning our brothers and sisters. And we think that if they were wise they would leave too. When I see carnality in what is supposed to be a sacred, God seems to be...

You are right that the justice system assumes a majority of those in the Jury pool are reasonable. But I am concerned that those on the left have become unreasonable, increasing the probability of injustice. Either through false conviction of their enemies or through Jury nullification for...

A date of execution is a literal deadline to repent.
