Amen. The just shall live by his faith. Here are they that keep the Commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus.

↑ So Adam and Eve's children are born how...., with a dead spirit? An inactive spirit? Or do all children have a spirit and it dies upon their own first sin? Now you've got my attention. Flesh it out for me if you can. God warned A&E that they would die the day they eat of the tree of...

Comes from one of a series of books written by Ellen White, Spiritual Gifts.

I don't agree with the concept of original sin. Quite the opposite. I think it's a mistake to merge the meanings of original sin with sinful nature. I thought I'd make that clear in my post, I guess not. Let me just lay it out but in shorthand. We are born with all the degenerate moral...

Amen to all that my brother. That thing you often remind us of... The low place... Always a great place to start each day.

Doesn't apply in my situation. But I agree with your thoughts.

God is love. That I believe is an absolute Truth. Everything He does, thinks, says, is motivated from love. Everything. He cannot lie. He cannot deceive. He cannot coerce. Not because He is following a self imposed arbitrary rule, but because His very nature recoils at the suggestion of Him...

For me it is. If I don't get vaccinated there is the very real likelihood I will lose my job which pays my rent. I will be left with my pension and need to move to very much cheaper accommodation in a place I won't like. Oh, and my employer is also my landlord.

@NewMusic Okay. First, I agree with the bulk of your first section, and little of your last section. The part of the first section I disagree with is your contention we are not born of a sinful nature. I agree with the part where you contend we are sinners because we choose to. We sin for...

Very good.

Oh. They're different? How so?

Not on topic, but I need to understand what you mean here. If you are saying that there are no-one who doesn't have a sin nature, then I would agree. We all inherited that nature from Adam. But if you are saying they're are no-one anywhere who doesn't sin, then I would ask how do you know and...

We all go through that on different levels and in a myriad of ways. But we also know that Jesus went through all the same temptations but without sin. We can be assured that He had even greater struggles than us, being such a target of Satan and his agents. But Jesus proved that we can overcome...

That said, I think that leads very nicely into future plans by the elites to install even more stringent laws based on religion as outlined in Revelation. This isn't the mark of the beast. But it would give governments great confidence that their future plans are likely to succeed of given...

What that reveals is that a media led propaganda campaign in support of any government agenda even in direct contradiction to reality, can be very successful if based on fear. I don't believe this kind of manipulation would succeed in a Christian environment wherein the predominant members of...

And I read somewhere that the average age of death in Australia in general is a little less than 84. Figure that out in the middle of a 'dangerous pandemic'!

Shouldn't that be compliant????

While I agree that we could go to any church and after spending even a short time conversing with members there, could discern many of the above faults, we would also find a greater threat to the spiritual well-being of the church coming from the pulpit, that being the very popular message with...

We love truth and have a passion and desire for truth and righteousness. And if we have the spirit of God, we desire that same passion for others. Paul spoke of a love for truth being the difference between being deceived or not. It wasn't the truth itself that decided whether one is deceived...

This is highly debatable. And the answer is the more realistic reason why the church isn't ready for what is to come.
