Ok, but eternal life is not really the subject of Romans 5:12-19, It is about spiritual life, but not eternal life.

What life are you talking about? What I don't believe is that God imputes Adam's sin to us at birth. Romans 5:12-19 says that without Christ's death on the cross, we would have all been as good as dead right out of the womb. But Christ's obedience in death on the cross nullified any effects of...

That is not my point. It doesn't say when God created each of our spirits. The Bible does not tell us when the spirit is created. It just says that God did. That is not quite true. I am a soul, i.e., a living being (Genesis 2:7). I have a body and a spirit. There is nothing in 2...

Do you see anything there that says sinful nature? I don't.

I just gave it to you.

Flesh From Strong's Greek dictionary: G4561 σάρξ sarx sarx Probably from the base of G4563; flesh (as stripped of the skin), that is, (strictly) the meat of an animal (as food), or (by extension) the body (as opposed to the soul (or spirit), or as the symbol of what is external, or as the...

The Bible nowhere calls the flesh the sinful nature. That is not good reading of God's word.

A really bad translation/interpretation for the Greek word "sarx" meaning flesh n verse 17 and the Greek word "hupo" meaning under in verse 18. (ESV) Gal 5:17 For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to...

You can't give a verse that says there ever was a sin nature. Could this be a deception done on purpose?

And clearly that is you. God condemns for the lack of obedience, which means there is an alternative? That alternative is obedience. Obedience is, without question, a key message throughout the entire Bible.

That is simply not true. God would not and does not impute the sin of one to another. Ezekiel produced and entire chapter, chapter 18, to dispel any notion that we are held responsible for the sin of Adam or the sin anyone else. Eze 18:20 The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not suffer...

Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. Gen 2:7 then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. Gen 9:6 "Whoever...

God's mouth ? ? ? ? ?

Obedience has been a predominant issue throughout the entire Bible. Under the New Covenant we have not been set free from obedience to the law, at least the relevant portions of the law. When we are born again, one of the benefits is the gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit. The primary purpose...

I certainly agree with that. However, what I was trying to point out is what being made into that new creature really means. It means to be saved. It means to have sins forgiven and be given the gift, the indwelling, of the Holy Spirit. It does not mean, as some believe, that being born...

You have given the KJV translation for verse 36. Some other English versions say much the same. However, it is important to understand that the first "believes" in that verse is translated from the Greek word πιστεύω [pisteuō] and is the usual Greek word used when speaking of believing in...

John also says "whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him"(ESV)(3:36). It behooves each to know what it means to obey the Son. I suspect that too few actually have considered that.

I find it bizarre that anyone would think God imparted faith to them but not to some others. That has to be the epitome of egotism and narcissism.

Peter described it in his first sermon at Pentecost. He told his listeners, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" (Acts 2:38). Being forgiven of sins and receiving the gift of the...

Yes, that is what John 3:3 says. Tell me, why is that. What does being born again do so that one can see the kingdom of God? For that matter, what does it mean to "see the kingdom of God"? Why is it necessary to be born again in order to see the kingdom of God?
