The only offering that brings justification would have to be an offering of blood... Rom 5:9, Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. Rom 3:25, Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his...

Indeed there is; Adam and Eve were created in the image of God. Is not God a spiritual being?

When you put it that way, I don't disagree with you.

That is an alternate interpretation that I believe is faulty. God was speaking in terms that Adam could understand. If He was reserving His own definitions for the words that He was relating to Adam, there would have been miscommunication. Adam and Eve died spiritually the moment that they...

He is (John 8:58, John 8:59, John 10:31-33, John 8:24, Exodus 3:14). Sorry I just don't see it. How would John 4:22 be a lie if Jesus is God? And Jesus, being God, could not have not known the divine mystery. How so? I think that you have simply glossed over what I emphasize in your...

I fear for your soul then @"ByGrace". You think that such a doctrine brings comfort to me? I would rather that it were not the reality. But the Lord Jesus Christ taught the existence of eternal torment; and to reject this concept in a certain sense is to reject Him, not believing what He...

Sole trust in the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ is the only salvation (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Serving and loving Christ is merely a byproduct for those who truly believe and have been forgiven. Those who have been forgiven much, love much (Luke 7:36-50). Thing is, the basis for...

A person can call on "the name of Jesus" and not be saved because they are calling on the name of a different Jesus than the Jesus of the Bible (see 2 Corinthians 11:3-4 (kjv)). The gospel will be published in all nations as a testimony, and then the end shall come (Matthew 24:14, Mark 13:10)...

Cain did not do what was right in offering up an offering that represented his works before the Lord. We can only be cleansed from all sin through the blood of the Lamb (1 John 1:7). As the old hymn goes, "My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness, I dare not trust...

Are God's children those who believe the Bible?

An interesting point... However, since we are saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9), and have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand (Romans 5:2), it precludes that those who do not put their faith in Jesus Christ are not recipients of the grace of our Lord. Jesus said (John...

No doubt, Cain very likely had deeds other than his unacceptable offering that were unacceptable to the Lord. Abel very likely had such deeds also (Romans 3:23). The difference between the two was that Abel's offering served to cover over his sins while Cain's offering left Cain's deeds bare...

God is indeed a God of justice; and the Bible proclaims that He has wrath against sin.

Cain killed Abel because "his own deeds were evil, and his brother's righteous." (1 John 3:12). I believe that this is referring to Abel's offering which was counted as righteous; while Cain's offering was not counted as righteous. Cain's offering, being of the fruit of the ground, was the...

While salvation is not of works, we find that obedience to the moral tenets of the gospel is foundational to our house that we are building standing firm against the storms of life.

Says who? it is talking about faith period. It can indeed apply to my faith in the kjv.

Faith is tangible evidence, Hebrews 11:1.

I posted this on the subject in the other message board:

That thing about Jesus being the only one who is immortal might even be enough for me to change my pov... However, I believe that when you look at Matthew 25:46, it teaches that the duration of the punishment spoken of in Matthew 13:41-42 and Matthew 13:49-50 is that it is everlasting...
