    Born again : = Get this knowledge.

    No, you can not lose your salvation if you sin deliberately. You can lose your salvation if you disbelieve, that is, if you no longer believe in Christ. We are not saved by grace through not sinning. We are saved by grace through faith. We are saved through faith and we can become lost...

    Soul vs SPIRIT

    Gen 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature (Hebrew -nephesh) that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. Gen 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature (Hebrew -nephesh) that moveth, which the...

    Soul vs SPIRIT

    You mean like you just did with Romans 5:12-21? Taking me to task for what you just did -- that is rich.

    My take on original sin

    Nah, that process started when God created the universe. God has not given anything or anybody the power to alter the basic functioning of His creation. So God created all that is bad so we would know what is good. Interesting idea, but I don't believe it. Did the angels need to experience...

    Soul vs SPIRIT

    I am a soul, a living being, I have a body and a spirit. My dog is a soul, a living being, he has a body but no spirit.

    Soul vs SPIRIT

    Do you have even the slightest idea what any of that means? 23For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Given that the comparison there is between death and eternal life, the death there, just life eternal life is speaking of the spiritual...

    Soul vs SPIRIT

    Clearly, Romans 3:10-18, as you have presented it, must include you, huh? So then, you are not righteous, you don't understand, you don't seek after God, etc., etc. Personally, I don't believe that. And I don't believe that we are destined to physical death entered through Adam's sin. And I...

    about Suicide

    Too many think that forgiveness is something that God does (or doesn't do) at each and every sin committed by the individual. That is the wrong view of forgiveness. When one is born again and God forgives his sins, he is forgiven. It is a state of being. Paul uses the term justification to...

    My take on original sin

    But If Adam was created as an immortal being, then the Tree of Life in the Garden did not have its place in the natural scheme of things. It would have served no purpose whatsoever. That is further demonstrated by the fact that once Adam sinned, God ejected him from the Garden specifically to...

    Soul vs SPIRIT

    Eze 18:1 The word of the LORD came to me: Eze 18:2 "What do you mean by repeating this proverb concerning the land of Israel, 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge'? Eze 18:3 As I live, declares the Lord GOD, this proverb shall no more be used by you...

    Soul vs SPIRIT

    If the one making such a claim cannot prove it, then it does indeed invalidate the argument for me. There is absolutely no reason for me to assume they are telling the truth, and that is really independent of the question of secessionism.

    He meant that when you sinned you died.

    My take on original sin

    Then why Did God put the tree in the Garden?

    Soul vs SPIRIT

    Since our spirits come from God (Zech 12:1; Ecc; 12"7), what you are positing is that God delivers a dead spirit to the new born. I reject that. Dead in trespasses and sins is dead in our trespasses and sins, not Adam's.

    No, I didn't miss it and I, unlike you, even understand it.

    Soul vs SPIRIT

    So 39 verses is meat but 2 verses is not? Hilarious. But what's to discuss? Why would anyone discuss with one who thinks they have supernaturally acquired knowledge?

    Soul vs SPIRIT

    Not asking anyone to prove they are born again. Your claim was having supernaturally received knowledge. That's what you need to prove. And you just can't stop with the name-calling.

    Soul vs SPIRIT

    It is the answer to your question. It is amazing that anyone claiming to have divinely inspired knowledge wouldn't have known that. Well not really amazing, but hilariously funny.

    Soul vs SPIRIT

    Well yes, you really do need to prove it to anyone to whom you have made such a claim. Otherwise it has to be rejected. Name calling. Typical of one who would falsely claim to be divinely inspired.

    Soul vs SPIRIT

    John 20:30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; John 20:31 but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
