    God Created All Humanity When He Created Adam

    There was an exception. That was Jesus. And yes I see what you are asking. You are asking if there was or is anyone like Jesus. I think you know the answer to that. Yes, Eve was deceived. She thought God wouldn't do what He said if she disobeyed. And Adam was also deceived. He was given...

    God Created All Humanity When He Created Adam

    For the exact same reason that Adam and Eve sinned. They were given a choice, they chose badly.

    God Created All Humanity When He Created Adam

    Our spirits are not born of parents, our spirits are born of God. Do not fall into the trap of traducianism. Our spirits do not come by way of procreation, they come from God. Zec 12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD concerning Israel: Thus declares the LORD, who stretched out the heavens...

    God Created All Humanity When He Created Adam

    And I quoted the Bible about what Jesus did. He undid what Adam did. Now just to be very clear hear. None of Romans 5:14-19 is dealing with what you and I have done. It is not speaking about what Jesus' obedience did for your sins or my sins. It is only addressing the effect of Jesus'...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Do you see the trend among priests becoming pedophiles?

    God Created All Humanity When He Created Adam

    Perhaps we can try that again. Romans 5:10-21 ESV Rom 5:10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. Rom 5:11 More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Have you noticed a general trend (of course there are exceptions to the rule), that Catholics who convert to Protestantism are usually grateful and happy, and do so through deeper intellectual study, etc.? And Protestants who leave the faith to become Catholic or atheists are usually bitter, and...

    God Created All Humanity When He Created Adam

    Simply and horribly false. God is the only one to impute sin. He does not impute the sin of one person unto another. We are not born disconnected from God. We are born absolutely connected to God until such time that we sin. Jesus said, "Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from...

    God Created All Humanity When He Created Adam

    The statements, "John has 10 horses" and "John has 14 horses" is not a contradiction. The contradiction to "John has 10 horses" is "John does not have 10 horses".

    God Created All Humanity When He Created Adam

    The whole concept of justice is an interesting one for me. Depending upon the particular English version, the Hebrew word, "tsedawkaw" is translated as righteous(ness) or justice. For example compare the KJV and the NASB for Genesis 18:19. Either way, justice is always that which is right and...

    God Created All Humanity When He Created Adam

    Why do so many of you think that God would punish all of humanity for what one man did. Where is God's grace and glory in that? Where is God's justice in that? Do you punish all your kids when one does something that needs punishing? I wouldn't think so. Why would you think God would do...

    God Created All Humanity When He Created Adam

    Then you obviously do not understand the concept of contradiction. The fruit of the Tree of life did not, upon eating it once, bring immortality. It was a prophylactic fending off dying. The whole fruit eating thing is metaphoric. If literal, why didn't God just put a tree in the Garden...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Ah yes. That is always the dilemma in such cases isn't it? There is no easy answer. In this particular case, when Jesus said, "this is my body", it clearly wasn't literally His body or any part of His body at the time He said it. When Paul spoke of the Lord's supper in 1 Corinthians 11, it...

    God Created All Humanity When He Created Adam

    I didn't die from being ejected, he died because he no longer had access to the fruit which would keep him from dying. He died because death is intrinsic to all physical life. That is the way God created it.

    God Created All Humanity When He Created Adam

    Romans 5:12 ESV 12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned-- And yes, this death is spiritual death. The entire physical universe is limited. Death is an integral part of the creation of physical...

    God Created All Humanity When He Created Adam

    Adam didn't die physically because he sinned. Physical death is an integral feature of the physical creation. Adam died physically because God ejected him from the Garden and he no longer had access to the tree of life (Gen 3:22). He died spiritually when he sinned. That is the same with us...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    The seven great "I AM"s in John's gospel are found in John 6:35; 9:12; 10:9; 19:11; 11:25; 14:6; 15:5. I don't think any of those should be taken as literal descriptions of the physical being of Jesus. But of course you are free to view them all as you wish.

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    And Satan would be super proud of you for pushing Calvin's heretical gospel.

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Almost nothing about the "eucharist" as defined and established by the RCC exists within the NT. It is essentially a construct of the RCC wholly apart from the NT.

    Why are Christians leaving their churches?

    Yes. I edited it. Thank you.
