You have to know the how and why in order to have faith in something? It is like when Jesus said to a man, Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no wise believe. The simple answer is that you should simply take a wild look at Luke 1:35...In the virgin birth the Holy Ghost became one...

Iniquity is sin as it dwells in the heart; and it abides in Christians and non-Christians alike...but especially non-Christians, because they have not been cleansed through the blood of Christ. I agree; and I think you misunderstood my statement. I mean to say that those who are redeemed have...

Sorry I lost track of where the original post was located. God the Father is the Lord (see Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21).

This is not what I was addressing; but it is what I want to address now. I didn't say, "Adam did not transgress." I would say to you that in v.14 it says that death reigned over those who did not transgress after the similitude of Adam's transgression. So what I was saying is that without...

It is false doctrine to say that saving grace is extended to those who haven't put their faith in Christ and His shed blood (Matthew 7:13-14, John 14:6, Hebrews 9:22). The "ungodly" in Romans 4:5 does not refer explicitly to people of other religions as a definition. They are indeed ungodly...

There is the possibility of only one (if the person is talking like Jesus did, in referring to the Son of Man in third Person when referring to Himself). Two is also possible.

Indeed...and Jesus said to those who said that, I never knew you; because they trusted they were saved through being in the work of the ministry (by their works) but did not have the right kind of faith and trust in Jesus; and practiced iniquity on the side.

Not necessarily (Romans 7:18, 1 John 1:8, Romans 3:23, Galatians 3:22). Isaiah 9:6, For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of...

It works for anyone who will enter in through the door (John 10:1-9)...not just me, myself, and I.

What are you trying to preach...Universalism? That anyone can be justified apart from faith in Jesus and his shed blood is a concept that is contrary to scripture...period.

You are assuming that people who become Christians don't start out as ungodly, or even retain some ungodliness after they become Christians. Ungodly is not speaking of people of other religions being justified apart from faith in Jesus. Such an idea would be contrary to scripture (Matthew...

You should read a man's entire post before responding to the first few sentences...Proverbs 18:13. I don't intend this as a rebuke per se...only as a tidbit of wisdom for future reference.

And you say that I am in error...see Matthew 7:13-14 and John 14:6. The way to life is narrow and few there be that find it...Jesus is the only way to the Father!

That is like saying that there is no such thing as uncleanness because nothing is unclean of itself. The Bible in certain places speaks of uncleanness, however, in a negative light (Galatians 5:19-21, 2 Corinthians 6:17). Okay lol.

Proverbs 19:11.

That's right. An unbeliever is not saved. Because the only way he might be saved apart from faith in Jesus (i.e. if he is trusting in his works to save him) would be to keep the law perfectly from conception to eternity (Galatians 3:10, James 2:10, Matthew 5:48). And that is not something...

Salvation boils down to being perpetually forgiven through the blood of Christ...and then, the result: that we love Him much because we have been forgiven much (Luke 7:36-50, 1 John 4:19, Romans 5:5). Since this love is not based in fantasy but in reality, it is practical (1 John 3:17-18) and...

Hi @BobRyan, Sin is a principle that dwells within totally depraved man...it boils down to independence from the Lord. As such, this element of independence could exist within the heart of man even when there is no law to discover it...until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed...

YHWH became flesh, so He is a physical being in that sense. And also, DNA is kind of like a synonym of your make-up: what you are all about.
