If everyone is going to die naturally, and could not live forever if they did not sin, then how can death be a punishment for sin? Romans 6:23 (WEB): (23) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. How does Jesus' sacrifice of one perfect...

You misunderstand the Scriptures, most likely due to poor translation of the Bible. It is obvious that people don't drop dead the first time in their life that they commit a sin. We would have no need of a police force and the judicial system if that were the case! The KJV translates Genesis...

That's what I said! I wrote, "God prepared a perfect human body for Jesus". I made no mention of angels. If you can not correctly understand the simple things that I write, then it's very likely that you will misunderstand God's word in the Bible too! I never claimed that! Angels don't have...

I didn't say that Jesus makes people with sin. I said that a sinful nature was inherited from our parents. Does Jesus make people with physical and mental handicaps too, or is that inherited from their parents, or a result of their parents' imperfect bodies? What I wrote was that Adam was...

Adam was made from the dust of the earth (Genesis 3:19) - he was not born as a baby. Eve was made from one of Adam's ribs - she was made as a woman, not a baby. But everyone else has been made by humans procreating, and are born as babies. So clearly Adam was made differently from everybody...

Angels are not immortal - only God was immortal, 1 Timothy 6:16 (WEB): (16) who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen. Unfortunately that is a misleading translation, it should be translated more...

I wrote, "Sexual intercourse between a man and his wife is not sinful". Fornication and adultery, by definition, is not sexual intercourse between a man and his wife. The Bible says otherwise, so your deduction of "you have to say" and "would also have to" is shown to be incorrect. When...

As I said, Adam was created perfect and sinless, but later he sinned. God punished him for that by sentencing him to die. Adam had a corrupted, imperfect and sinful nature from that point on, and everybody else has inherited that sinful nature. Jesus did not create anybody with a sinful...

Yes. PS. If you're interested I use e-Sword and Online Bible on my MS Windows desktop PC, and MyBible on my Android notepad (so I can quickly look up verses during a church service). I also have an old laptop computer running Linux, and I have Xiphos Bible Guide installed on that (but I...

And yet by just reading the Bible alone you have not understood what repentence means. That's why I recommended that other thread because you'll get a better idea of what repentence is if you read it. Just trying to help. :Thumbsup:

I've not read it all, but perhaps you should read the discussion The Bible teaches repentance unto confession, not confession unto repentance.

Well I did quote a couple of verses of Scripture to support what I had written, so I think it is Scriptural! How about some more, e.g. Exodus 32:14 (WEB): (14) Yahweh repented of the evil which he said he would do to his people. or if you prefer the KJV: (14) And the LORD repented of the...

Suffering tribulation is not works. Sacrificing your will in order to conform to God's will is not really works either; as Paul said, it is reasonable service - Romans 12:1-2 (KJV): (1) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice...

How about watching a football game rather than going to church? :watching and waiting::)

The narrow way is a way of sacrifice and tribulation. Jesus said to his disciples, John 16:33 (ESV): (33) ... In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” So some may choose to not try or to give up (bringing it back to the subject of this thread!)...

Repenting and asking for forgiveness are two different things. First you repent, then you ask God for His forgiveness. The first step for all sinners is to repent, that is, to be genuinely sorrow for their sins and change their plans and ways to cease sinning. Next they should pray to God for...

Luke 13:24 (KJV): (24) Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. Strive , or struggle to enter the narrow or strait gate/door, i.e. it is a difficult to get through gate/door, but we should make the effort to do so, before...

The Bible uses the word repent, it doesn't define it - it's not a dictionary! In the Greek it's metanoeo, which the Online Bible Greek Lexicon describes as: 1) to change one’s mind, i.e. to repent 2) to change one’s mind for better, heartily to amend with abhorrence of one’s past sins Stong's...

It's not a bad translation, and God is not making a sport of it - God is very patient. We are in the appointed time of sacrifice, and this appointed time has been ongoing for nearly 2,000 years, but eventually it will end. Read the verse in context - Luke 13:24-25 (WEB): (24) “Strive to...

Is that a typing error? Did you mean 'lying' rather than 'living'?
