Hi Waiting on Him. It wasn't that Jesus had ever been disobedient and didn't know what it was to obey in the general sense but rather He had not had to suffer as a man, so what this verse is referring to is not the difference between being naughty or well-behaved, but the experience of suffering...

I think it says the deity of Christ is evident not just through His throne, His scepter, and His kingdom, but through His anointing.

Simplicity is advisable, that's why I consider that without the God-given ability to obey or disobey, the creation of mankind would be a pointless exercise, and perhaps the following verse would read, "and God saw that everything He made was programmed to mechanically obey." Gen 1:31 Then God...

Indeed He is the Author of our Salvation...His Plan to Save us...His Man to Save us...We Can but obey! Heb 5:9 And having been perfected, He (Jesus) became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,

Yes, the Divine Plan begins and ends with Complete Perfection, but allows for the inevitability of evil opposition to it for which the Perfect Remedy is provided in conjunction with Divine Judgment. Funny thing, Tong. I woke up this morning and a thought entered my mind to the effect that...

Yes, I hope you don't mind me entering into the conversation. Indeed freewill is God-given and reduced to its simplest definition it is the ability to obey or disobey.

Hi Tong. Yes Sir. This world is full of trials and tribulations according to the Bible and my own experience. Have you read Hebrews 11 lately? Also these verses among numerous others... Joh 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have...

Because our conscience lets us and Scripture doesn't have a law against it, but rather a Spirit that allows us to avoid legalism. None of us consume alcohol and I even have a medical condition that means I have to avoid alcohol. We also use bread with yeast in it. So what? If we have no grape...

We prefer grape juice, its not a sin to drink a cup of it in remembrance of Christ's blood shed for us. The Judaizers and legalisers may quibble about it but Paul's instructions on such matters of conscience are our guide. 1Co 10:31 Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatsoever you do, do...

We do this in our ekklesia every time we assemble. Our gatherings include a meal which we begin by breaking bread in remembrance of Christ's body broken for us, and conclude with our drinking grape juice in remembrance of the blood of Christ shed for us for the remission of sins.

That'll be the virus. Lot's of computers have got it.

Hi KingdomInCulture. Thanks for the videos. They are well done. You have expressed your thoughts well and used appropriate Scriptures. I have a Christian friend who once stood unsuccessfully for election to our Parliament as a member of the now defunct Christian Heritage Party. He has now done...

Rom 8:20-21 For the creation was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who has subjected the same in hope, (21) Because the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. I hoped we were having a...

Yes, reasons that do not align with Scripture. Things were different before the fall, the physiology and ecology was similar to what it will be like in heaven, where there will be no death. Once again the alignment with Scripture is lacking for these assertions. Scripture provides that the...

Hi DNB. Some points here to discuss whilst in lockdown. What evidence does the Bible give of actual death before the fall? None. Before the fall Creation was unblemished by entropy, corruption and decay. The environment of the Garden of Eden did not require things to die.The harvesting and...

As stated previously, DNB, I am posting material for your consideration. Over the years I have engaged with many forumists who hold a very low view of Scripture and who have a scant regard for the cohesive harmony of the doctrines that derive from it. Rather than insist they adopt my high view...

Plants are not sentient, so if you want to be pedantic lets specify that the death of sentient beings had not occurred prior to Adam's sin. Rom 5:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—

Maybe you missed these verses, DNB. Every living thing fed on herbs and fruit before the fall of Creation (which fall is affirmed in Romans 8). Not a thing was killed before Adam and Eve partook of the forbidden fruit. Sad that you refuse to align with God's Word. Gen 1:29-30 And God said...

Some of my previously posted thoughts from elsewhere on the internet adapted here for your consideration, DNB. Regarding the Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil mentioned first in Genesis 2:9... A FAQ is "Why was the TOTKOGAE in the Garden of Eden where it was accessible to Adam and Eve?"...

Hi Yehren. Ok, so you are an SDO (spiritual death only) adherent. But I have to ask what do you think has happened to Adam and Eve's previously immortal bodies if only spiritual death was punishment for disobedience? From my files: THEISTIC EVOLUTION REFUTED
