You are stretching here. Adam was a unique individual, being the first human to be made, even from mud. And we inherit those same genetic features that identify us as human, the carbon based minerals common to all mankind. And yes, the human child of Mary also inherited those same genes, but...

We know that Christ came in person to reveal God to the world. God is a person, and Christ is a person. Christ is spoken of in the Word as “the brightness of His Father’s glory, and the express image of His person. Although Christ is God, we need to, when speaking of personalities, clearly...

I'm not a Trinitarian, so I don't look at this from their perspective. The Greek of the New Testament was written in what we refer to today as uppercase letters (uncials). It had no spaces between the words and had no punctuation – at least not as we know it today in English. This means that...

Extreme eisegesis? "Who do you say I am?" “16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18...

The answer to sin is the gospel, and the gospel of necessity must include the ministry of Christ as our High Priest, mediating, sanctifying, interceding on our behalf before the throne of His Father. Just as the priests did in the OT in order to complete the atonement. Note that many...

No, he could not. But He did have to enter and minister there by sprinkling and using his finger to wipe the blood on the burns of the altar. All necessary parts of the ritual, and service of the ancient sanctuary, all of which pointed ultimately to the ministry of Christ on the heavenly...

There is overwhelming evidence in Scripture showing that Jesus claimed to be the Son of God. It would be far too much to comment upon in detail here. Suffice it to say that certain of the Jews regarded His claim as blasphemous (Mark 14:60-65 John 10:36). They said He was claiming to be God (John...

I agree with the first part of the sentence above, but would qualify eternity by agreeing with Hepzibah on his point that the Son came forth from the Father in eternity, but not necessarily from all eternity, as that of necessity denies His true Sonship.

Bible verses that indicate He is.... Immediately following the oft-quoted text which says that Christ, the Word, is God, we read that "all things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made." John 1:3. Comment cannot make this statement any clearer than it is...

The best evidence that Jesus is God is that which we all agree on, that He is the Son of God. What we disagree on is the when that took place. Was Jesus a Son by creation such as are the angels, and humans first experience of Jesus was in Bethlehem? Or did He become Son by adoption such as...

Every new government in every nation on the planet wants to change the laws laid down by the previous government, in fact, every electoral cycle they base their entire campaigns on that premise. It isn't a big deal. It's expected, and the only opposition to such u things come from the...

So were the sins of Israel atoned for by the sacrifice, without the priest entering the Tabernacle?

Why? Jesus came as a baby. Do you really think that He was aware and had full divine understanding of all science and knowledge from a small child? Or did He learn as He grew? And if that were the case, why would the Father reveal such a thing to the Son if such information wouldn't help...

How can a perfect divine being, God the Father, beget a Son that is of a different nature...or 'gene'...or kind to the Father? If He isn't God, then what is He? Did God establish a generational system of expanding nature... kind after their own kind... but break it Himself, yet use the same...

The owners of the FR have gotten extremely rich printing billions (face value) for government at minimal cost to the printers, and charging the government(the people) face value plus interest. It's the biggest scam in history. Two previous presidents were assassinated trying to stop this scam...

Couldn't be further from the truth. Not once in any of my posts above did I even remotely suggest that there was anything we needed to do. If you had eyes to see and ears to hear my brother, you would have understood that it was all about what Christ is doing now in His NT resurrection High...

It is a very revealing exercise to investigate the educational institutions that taught various politicians. Even more revealing is to research the roots of American and subsequently global education.

I will remember this tonight as sunset approaches. Although it is a strange response to my questions. Remember, it was Paul who said to Christians of his day, that even though thy events at Calvary took place a number of years before, if not for the resurrection, those Christians would be...

Are the links between church and state now hardening in the US since Trump's election, and what Christian paradigm do you think will be most benefited by that growing relationship? Catholicism, or Protestantism?

So. I have decided to resurrect (pun intended) this thread because I don't think too many fully comprehended the very important implications of Paul's statement I alluded to earlier when in addressing Christians who had all accepted Christ's sacrifice on Calvary as the propitiation for their...
