Clearly metaphorical and not literal. Next thing you know you will be saying that Jesus had hinges on His side and a doorknob for a belly-button!

Notice that it says absolutely NOTHING about me personally sinning when Adam Fell. Paul isn't preaching to infants, he is preaching to adults. "Much more" the grace of God... Whatever Adam did does not compare to what God's grace does "much more." So is damnation is Universal, so is...

But I never sinned when Adam sinned, did I! You can't prove it. I was not even alive, so how could I rebel against God before I ever existed? There is no passage in all of Scripture that asserts such a wild theological fiction as people committing an act before they ever existed. What is meant...

The argument 25 years ago was saying that if you had doctrine, then you are not spiritual. But this a a false dilemma, for we do not have to choose between Spiritless Formalism or Formless Spiritualism. One can have form and substance based upon true knowledge revealed in the Bible and still be...

A little story along these lines. It was many years ago when I was in the military, and I was asked by a Chaplain if my wife and I would work with the single soldiers. As Military Chapels go, they are fairly generic. They generally have a Protestant and a Catholic service. So, with a Single...

No one gets "saved" by a better education; we do not "will" our way into the Kingdom. Salvation is not determining to "turn over a new leaf" or "pull yourself up by your own bootstraps." But there is an equal danger... we are warned in Scripture not to preach "Another Christ" than the Christ of...

You are correct that the military routinely lowers the bar to allow women in. The standard they set for men as the "minimum" to be able to physically handle the duties of a soldier, all of a sudden are not required if you are a woman. The movie G.I. Jane raised the question: What if a woman...

Grieving the Holy Spirit is not God's failure, but is our failure. No one ever said that God failed; and God has never claimed that we had an unconditional guaranteed salvation.

Even worse is the person who thinks a statue listens to their prayers!

Notice how the warning is not in bold type... 'And grieve not the holy Spirit of God..." An earnest (down-payment)... Until the redemption of the purchased possession. Nothing is stated as to some unconditional guarantee that the believer cannot break this Seal. The Seal is the Holy Spirit...

Yet it is an empirical fact that no two "Spirit Led" people agree on everything! If you find two that do, one is not thinking for themselves and is not led by the Spirit! Truth is not all over the place. This is why it is obvious to me that you need the Scriptures! If you come out opposing and...

The words of God = Idol? And then you quote Scripture for your argument? Are you an Idol Worshipper?

Nice Gnostic response and philosophy! God says that certain people are perfect, He commands that we be perfect, yet this is all undone and subservient to the Gnostic view of the flesh. This you cannot escape.

Are you living as a Romans 8 Christian, or a Romans 7 unregenerate? You didn't answer.

But the Spirit does not lead you into all truth, for you abuse Scripture and twist it. Simply demonstrated again!

Being imperfect in the Body is not the same as being sinful in the Body. If God meant perfection in this way, He failed. he is responsible, for He made our Body imperfect. Nonsense! Look at the Day of Pentecost to see the visual fulfillment of fire. Fire is emblematic of the cleansing...

Neither do you or anyone else! No one "has" the grace of God, it is not a "thing" that can be possessed. Grace is not the blessing; it is the vehicle by which the blessing comes. If I give you something that you did not earn, let's say a car... that is Grace! But you do not "have" Grace! You...

"For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace." Rom. 8:6. "Those who are in the flesh cannot please God." Romans 8:8. "For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will...

Funny! Appealing to God's words in Scripture to teach and justify why we don't need God's words in Scripture! Brilliant!

You are not saved... The ad hominem attack is an evasion for not having and answer to why you are not regenerated and saved; right? By what would I make that determination? I don't know you; I don't know your heart... as you do not get to play God with other peoples spiritual lives. You have...
