I think we had this discussion in another thread, but to refresh your understanding here is a passage to consider: Heb 1:1-2 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, (2) Has in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he has...

I believe those who crucified Christ considered Him to be an insane, demon-possessed, blasphemer, and not the Messiah or Son of God. An enlightened person, who tastes the heavenly gift, partakes of the Holy Spirit, tastes the good word of God and the powers of the world to come, could possibly...

How will they learn if they are not corrected. How does the Bible distinguish between the true God and false god's. Would you have this person bound in error or would you have him educated in the truth? 1Co 3:11-15 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ...

That would be false god, with a small "g".

You should spell God with a capital "G", unless you are referring to a false god.

Yes, and any last remnants of human-beings would be hunted down by the machine-beings...what was that movie again?

Robots are our slaves...until they rise up to become our masters...now there's a genre.

Yes. Phew. When writing poems I like to choose my words, but my ability to do so is due to predetermined elements. ZOMBIE CYBORG ROBOT CLONES If we are forced by God to rigidly function without any decision-making role on our part we may as well sing this song: We are robots, zombie robots...

You are as free to believe that as I am to disbelieve it. We have a dimension of freewill because God has predetermined us with the ability to choose.

You do get satire, though, when it's spelled out for you I hope...

How about this then: You say: "There is no such thing as right or wrong." I say: "How do you know you are right about that?" You say: "Because there are no absolutes". I say: "Are you absolutely sure about that?" You say: "Whatever a person believes that is their truth." I say: "I believe...

Relativists think so, but ironically they also think Relativism is right!!!

Yes, "the sinning saint dilemma" is a guaranteed thread spinner, and not a bad one to push a slow day on the forum along.

From another perspective, if you do not have access by faith into the grace of God, how can you possibly stand in His grace? Rom 5:1-2 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, (2) through whom also we have access by faith into this...

Too few non-ad hominemising posters left...a rare species.

Yes, that's very good Marks. As you may know the Greek word for nature is phusis which is applied to both the fallen Eph 2:3, and the divine 2Pet 1:4. Quote from Vine's Expository Dictionary 1. phusis (G5449), from phuo, "to bring forth, produce," signifies (a) "the nature" (i.e., the natural...

In that respect neither is "Bible" literally a biblical term. While the Bible doesn't specifically put the words "sin nature" together it does provide enough material to warrant the use of that term to identify the doctrine it pertains to. Rom 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were...

Icky eww

Also, Eve took of the tree's fruit and wasted no time in handing Adam some, possibly even before her first swallow. Together they ate and together they reaped the consequences. This act of disobedience is an example of what is known in some quarters as "experiential knowledge of moral failure"...
