    What is sin?

    ahhhh, the expression 'it's raining cats and dogs' definitely needs a word study because who knows if the translators have it right! Idioms convey other than their words. Don't pick up on this and one is on a fools errand. The scriptures are full of idioms (would that be ancient Hebrew...

    The Born Again = Have No Sin.

    The Born Again = Have No Sin. ......while self honesty is denied and given a back seat

    We have BOUND ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul

    Because morality is bankrupt men dance with words assuming their 'wisdom' covers their tracks.

    Psalms 83 unfolding

    It is primitive, short sighted, laterally restricted and guaranteed to have one barking up the wrong tree to claim that God's enemies are geographically bounded.

    Unravelling Law and Final Justification

    Morality is constrained by love. Love is self sacrificing......and who can bear that in our 'survival of the fittest' culture? When immorality becomes the dominant force, law is required to keep chaos in check. Law is better than chaos but Grace is better than Law. Do we then dismiss/ discard...

    Sin Consciousness : is the Carnal Mind = wrong Belief

    I think it is easier to be saved than lost.....but most will be lost. Why is that? It is because the God they love is not the God of Jesus but they think it is. Their God is a God of retribution; one who kicks arse; one who has no qualms torturing his creatures for eternity because they refuse...

    Sin Consciousness : is the Carnal Mind = wrong Belief

    This is your gospel, it is not that of Jesus. God does not kill neither does he require death. Death is the domain of Satan. It is Satan who has the power of death which the Son of God came to destroy. God is love and life, he was in Christ reconciling the world to himself by showing he would...

    Should we use wine or grape juice for communion? Should we use water or H2O?

    If Trump goes to prison from the hush money case.... DO that knock him out of the running?

    If Trump goes to prison from the hush money case.... DO that knock him out of the running? Pokin' yer Johnny in places you don't want others to know about is problematic. If his wife doesn't knock him out, somebody else might.

    Unravelling Law and Final Justification

    Is God 'legal'? ...If so by whose system of legality?....American? English? Russian? Chinese? Indian? Jewish? Mongolian? African? Aboriginal? I say God is moral. Morality says you give up your seat in the lifeboat. Legality never does that.

    Why did God create Satan?

    Why did God create Satan? He didn't. God created Lucifer as the covering Cherub. It was Lucifer who chose to become the adversary.

    What is sin?

    We all sin ie, break The Law.....oh wretched man that I am.....stuck in my flesh as is all humanity......whether we acknowledge it or not. The 'religious' will arrange all manner of fancy footwork (give multiple explanations and reasons why your 'contribution' changes how God sees) THE SIN...

    Psalms 83 unfolding

    Confusing second guessing with fact keeps the yada yada rolling.

    Sin Consciousness : is the Carnal Mind = wrong Belief

    Just as all are in Adam, so all are in Christ. This is Paul's point. (reread it...chew on it)...Romans 5 Now to your assumption which I said you are not aware of. You say that only born again Christians are in Christ (post #1)

    Sin Consciousness : is the Carnal Mind = wrong Belief

    Check out Romans 5.....it is clear. Paul makes the point five times between vs 15-19.....just so you don't miss it.

    Sin Consciousness : is the Carnal Mind = wrong Belief

    You don't make assumptions Behold? ....hmmmm You have not understood my reply to your statement in post #5 because your statement is a loaded assumption yet you are not aware of it. I will ask this; who is in Adam or rather, how many are in Adam? Romans 5 makes it clear. Romans 5 is also...

    MAGA and 4years - serious question

    Every culture/ nation will have/ has its 'bait' to ensure a universal outcome.

    MAGA and 4years - serious question

    Trump is a tool of the system which is moving fast. Manipulating the people is endemic. Getting sucked into the superficial its objective. Having people bash their heads against opposing ideologies is deliberate.
