    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    I have answered all of these questions several times already throughout this thread. There is no reason why I should need to go in circles. All of you clearly have views that do not align with scripture. Most if not all of you have a severe ignorance of the understanding of the Incarnation of...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    It is what scripture has meant from the beginning. I don't need to come up with anything. It has an historical record from the beginning, it is what was once delievered to the saint. Jude 3. Correct, since creation. I agree with Paul as well. Without the resurrection the sacrifice for...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    It has been defeated, It was permitted to remain until He returns. All the dead will be raised, not just followers. I Cor 15:5354. A new relationship, not a new physical nature. All believers still possess a mortal nature. You are correct that believes will also be glorified. There will be no...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Never stated or implied. We were speaking only of His human nature which Christ in His divinity assumed from the Virgin Mary.

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    But death occured from Adam. We sin because we are mortal. I Cor 15:56. He sure did, as He did with Adam, But it is Satan that had the power of death, Heb 2:14-16. God permits a lot by His Sovereignty. By permiting man to become mortal, God had plan to redeem man from that error by...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Christ had a human nature, the one Adam was born with. One that had the capability to die, become mortal. Christ gave up His life, did not suffer corruption. Even if you argue that He was born with a mortal nature, that does njot make Him a sinner. We are all born mortals, but not born sinners...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    We are now only because Christ defeated death. Again, only because Christ defeated death. If Christ had not defeated death, as created creature, both body and soul would cease to exist. Where is this stated in scripture? again only because Christ defeated death. Yes, because Christ...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    If you think that I am wrong then where is your evidence that what you believe has the mark of the Holy Spirit in preserving His gospel that He gave once to the disciple/apostles. Does that truth have an historical evidence? If it does not then it can hardly the Truth once delivered to the...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    We are not immortal now, neither the body or the soul. When our bodies are reunited in the resurrection, then all men will become immortal and incorruptible. Correct. Which is why Christ did not make us immortal in this life. Our mortal bodies will die once to rid our bodies of sin so that in...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Your's may be opinion. But what I have posted is historical Truth. It is easy to follow through history. It was explained by Iraneeous, Titian, Theophilius. Athanasius, who also wrote a book on the Incarnation in the 3rd century. Then there have been several Ecumenical Councils that defended...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Christ will draw all men to Himself. He did that through the Incarnation, so that man could again have a relationship with God in this life, being born again regernates that relationship through baptism. It actually does, but then why not give your interpretation as to why you think it does not...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    scripture says it does. Rom 5:12. Yes, God permitted the world as He did for Adam. Heb 2:14-16 clearly states that death is the power of Satan, not God. Those who reject Christ and those who do not remain faithful will suffer the second death which is a spiritual death, loss of a relationship...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Correct. The death I referenced is the physical death or 1st death. Agreed. All men will be raised immortal and incorruptible. We will have a body that is the same as the Body of Christ had, still has, when He ascended to heaven. The only difference between those in heaven who will be...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    His death and resurrection made it possible for man to again have a relationship with God. Man believes, repents, is baptized and receives the Holy Spirit. There is two events depicted above. Two reconciliations. One Christ reconciling the world back to God. The other one who believes is...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    I cited the scriptural texts that supports what I stated. It is also historical fact of scriptural understanding. Agreed, that is what being born again accomplished. By baptism we recieve the Holy Spirit. It regenerates a spiritual relationship with God.

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    I believe I stated so. He defeated death and propitiated sin. The two things He needed to do. Heb 2:14-16 by becoming man and defeated Satan as well who held the power of death. Or you could cite Heb 2:9 and I John 2:2. which sums it up quite nicely.

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    It has been historical Truth since the Apostolic times. It was defended several times against false teachings over the centuries. Not a thing I have stated is my opinion. It is historical factual scriptural understanding of the Church from the beginning. Personal opinion has always led to...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    It may have been you earlier who stated this in one of your responses to me. I asked for a definition or how you are understanding "spiritual"? I have not gotten an answer yet, as far as I know. I may have missed it before.

    And its been true since Adam. It will be true till He comes again when death will finally end.
