    Predestination VS Free Will

    Every human is made in the same image and likeness as Seth through Adam since the fall. Genesis 5:3 (KJV) And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth: Job 14:4 (KJV) Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean...

    Predestination VS Free Will

    I agree! Before we are born again and become the new man (again) the likeness and image of Christ (second man), we remain in our fallen state as the old man born in the likeness and image of the first man, Adam. 1 Corinthians 15:47-49 (KJV) The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second...

    Predestination VS Free Will

    Just as Adam's son Seth was begotten after the likeness and image of Adam, so too all the sons/daughters of Adam are also begotten/not made in the same manner. The same fallen nature of Adam is passed down to the whole human race. Begat - יָלַד yâlad, yaw-lad' - bear, beget, birth(-day)...

    The judgement of hell came in the first century

    Yes, Israel of the flesh to this day is denying the Lord Jesus Christ, remaining in unbelief and continue to be in rebellion against the True God. Orthodox Jews in unbelief are still clinging to the Law of Moses, still waiting for the promised Messiah to come that they might re-establish the...

    The judgement of hell came in the first century

    Reading this passage it's important to properly understand the various ways the word "see" is defined. In this verse the Greek word εἴδω eídō, i'-do - be aware, behold, × can (+ not tell), consider, (have) know(-ledge), look (on), perceive, see, be sure, tell, understand, wish, wot. Would...

    In this we have agreement!

    The judgement of hell came in the first century

    I have come to understand the prophetic words of Christ, as do some partial preterits as fulfillment of complete destruction in 70 AD, with Christ also looking beyond the Jewish nation to a Christian nation/people of every nation, tribe, kindred and tongue. I don't claim to be a partial...

    The judgement of hell came in the first century

    If this generation is limited to natural meaning and is limited "for those who are living at any given period", to what natural generation of those living at any given period will you assign "a chosen generation"? 1 Peter 2:9 (KJV) But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy...

    Predestination VS Free Will

    That's why I asked why, what happened? Why didn't the likeness and image of God pass even to every person as you first said, "This is GOD given to every person who is.... 'made in our image"........ Gen 1:26 Isn't it because man through natural choice lost the likeness and image of God when...

    Predestination VS Free Will

    Wasn't the imputed faith coming through the righteousness of God that Abraham displayed the result of hearing the word of God? Romans 10:17 (KJV) So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Galatians 3:8 (KJV) And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the...

    Predestination VS Free Will

    Originally man was created in the likeness and image of God, what happened when son, Seth was born? God had appointed another seed to replace Abel whom Cain killed. Why was Seth begotten in the likeness and image of Adam? What happened to the likeness and image of God that man had first been...

    The judgement of hell came in the first century

    These words were spoken to Christ's disciples. Matthew 24:1 (KJV) And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. When Jesus speaks of "this generation" in reference to "serpents, you offspring of vipers", without...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    What are angels and demons? I believe they are invisible spiritual beings to serve one of two masters, the one to damnation, and the other to everlasting life. Every human has spirit, because it is spirit that gives life and the flesh profits nothing (Jo 6:63). The master all of mankind...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Evil is not in question, darkness is. Was darkness created by God, or was darkness upon the face of the deep? I believe darkness is a metaphor meaning without the presence of Light. Darkness - Strong's Hebrew Dictionary 2822. חֹשֶׁךְ choshek (chôshek) Search for H2822 in KJVSL; in KJV...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    I'm not questioning your knowledge of Jesus. I was wondering if you understand that it is by the providence of God that Christ would be the Lamb slain from before the foundation of the world. This depicts the Covenant promise enacted in heaven before the foundation of the world. Through His...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Psalm 109:6-19 (KJV) Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin. Let his days be few; and let another take his office. Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. Let his children...
