Yes, and there is the answer to the question of the OP. The man asked what HE, HIMSELF, I might do to inherit eternal life. When He should have said, Lord, please save me. None will be eternally saved relying on their own righteousness, because no man shall inherit eternal life until they...

I don't find where "first" or "in the beginning" are opposed. I simply understand that when God first created the heavens and the earth marked the beginning of all that would follow within the next five creation days, the beginning of every generation to follow. I don't find any verses to...

I'm not sure what point you're making. In the beginning darkness was all that existed when God said, "Let there be light". God, seeing the light was good divided the light from the darkness. God called the light day and the darkness He called night - evening and morning first day. The...

Continued- There is no Scripture telling us the natural spirit in us is judged when we die??? Mankind is judged because they are without excuse because God has given revelation through the things He has created, and that He will punish the wicked for their sins. Isaiah 13:11 (KJV) And I...

If there is not spirit there is not life. Hear the words of Christ through John telling us the spirit gives life [quickeneth] but the flesh profits nothing. Life in every living, breathing creature on the earth comes from spirit. Even sea creatures must breathe to live. Sea creatures...

There's nothing in the Bible to prove there was not a literal tree with literal fruit. I've come to understand that throughout the Old Testament historical writings God uses physical, material things that point to the greater spiritual truths that would be made manifest when Messiah would come.

From the fall, we're told the evil spirit called serpent now works in the children of disobedience. Why would we doubt that he worked in/through the serpent at creation to deceive Eve? Do you believe the evil spirit simply whispered in her ear, causing her to doubt God? Ephesians 2:2...

When God created man He formed the body from the dust of the earth (flesh & bone) and breathed into them the breath of life (spirit) and then God calls man a living soul. Genesis 2:7 (KJV) And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of...

Here are a few verses from Scripture that say otherwise. Hebrews 1:7 (KJV) And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. Psalm 104:4 (KJV) Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: Heb 1:13 But to which of the angels said...

I believe the serpent is indwelt with a spirit of evil that elsewhere in Scripture is referred to as "the great dragon [was cast out], that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world".

I find it interesting that as I was reading the Bible today, I came upon this verse that gives me further confirmation that my understanding that Eve was led astray by the serpent and not lust coming from her own heart until after the serpent had beguiled her. Here Paul links the fall of Eve to...

Let's see, you say I reframe the verse, when I simply quote what is written. OTOH you add "people on earth" to the verse attempting to force the verse to agree with your unbiblical opinion. I show seven translations below, and NONE of them add "people on earth". That leaves me to wonder if...

Yes, I understand this, and don't completely disagree. Except I don't believe that Eve who had no knowledge of lust could while in a state of complete innocence lust from within but lusted only after being deceived by the evil spirit. Once Eve was deceived into believing the lies of the...

This is all opinion without verification from the Scriptures. I too have opinions regarding biblical doctrines, but I try to support my opinions from the Bible. Only then can we discuss/debate how our opinions stack up against the Word of God. Discussing/debating opinions without biblical...

Thanks for contributing to the thread, I agree with most everything you've presented here. I have only one question: Where did the desire to disobey God that you said was in Eve come from?

When God spoke His Light into the darkness it was to separate the spiritual darkness from the spiritual Light of God. Natural darkness for what God called "night" or natural darkness of night, did not exist until day four when God placed lights (sun, moon, stars) in the heaven to divide day...

All that was created in heaven, the earth and the sea was created in six days. That includes the creation of Eve from the rib of Adam. Ge 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Gen 2 is a recap with greater detail of the...

The night and darkness are not the same. Night comes from the darkness, but the darkness did not come from the night. Darkness loves the night, and is most active in the night, because fallen man like the darkness of night which is natural to the night to hide their wicked deeds. But from the...

We aren't called to defeat our nature to sin! Why? Because Christ has already made atonement through His blood for our sins.

Knowing there is now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit, does not change what else Paul has said. Before, Paul spoke of how, while clothed in body of death; the flesh, we serve the law of sin that leads to death. Here Paul...
