    KJV 2 Peter 1:3-4 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of...

    Jesus did not consent to sin. Not even by a thought could he be brought to the power of Satan’s temptations. Yet it is written of Christ that he was tempted in all points like as we are. Many hold that from the nature of Christ it was impossible for Satan’s temptations to weaken or overthrow...

    In the incarnation, Christ was placed in the same sinless position as Adam and Eve when they were created (Christ was sinless), but His human nature, unlike Adam and Eve’s nature before the fall, was fallen human nature. This made Christ’s test far greater than Adam’s. Christ’s mission on earth...

    Number one isn't entirely accurate. God-man isn't scriptural. Much like God the Son. However, as the true begotten Son of God, Creator of all things, He indeed is God, attested to by His own Father, and worthy of worship. But His wasn't just a human sacrifice either. A divine Being died at...

    For Christians still hung up on Evolution...

    They're is a6 word phrase in the NT that directly contradicts the possibility of man evolving from another species... Darwin's "survival of the fittest" theory. I won't explain, but anyone with a modicum of theological understanding should be able to work it out. The wages of sin is death...

    Eternity doesn't mean without time. It just means without end. I'm eternity we will honor the Sabbath and the new moon. Can't do that without time.

    Even before creation, just not bodily as a man.

    It's essential to believe that, otherwise He couldn't know what it was like to be truly tempted, and help is on our need.

    I'm not sure what you are trying to extract from me other than the texts you posted, with which I agree. I'm not sure what else you need to know. Yes, Christ shared in our weakness, to bring heaven down to man, in order that we might share in His strength, bringing man up to heaven, and like...

    Because God Himself died, paid the wages, settled the ransom, paid the price of redemption. No lesser Being could do that. No created being could lay down their life because their life is not their own. Only the Son of God had the authority to lay down His life. , "I am the resurrection, and...

    Yes it does. Do you know any trinitarians that deny that? No? Do you ask yourself why? Let me suggest why. Because they not only believe that scripture, but also believe other texts which speak to the very same topic, but which shed more light on the matter. That is why Protestants are, or...

    What we need to understand about God is that which since before the earth was created had been maligned and slandered. That being His character. We need to get that right. And there are several lovingly held doctrines in Christianity, cherished by many, that utterly blaspheme, malign, and abuse...

    Requires lots and lots and lots and lots of discernment to go down that road. Sure, it needs to be done... To call out blatant but sly and subtle heresy, but you don't want to get it wrong and start calling out truth, thinking it a lie. We are all capable off being deceived.

    Would you agree that the Son is now eternally human, His "body given Him" a permanent dwelling place?

    Yes... Another tenet of historicism...1260 years first phase. Second phase now developing.

    Indeed. And we know the Antichrist is a counterfeit also. Have you ever noticed the similarities between the Antichrist beast of Revelation12:1 and Jesus Himself? I'll highlight a few.... KJV Revelation 13:1-8 1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, KJV...

    What the Heck is Salvation? And what are we Saved From?

    All would agree, (and I think that is a great place to start... Where we agree) that Christ was the antitype/fulfillment of the Passover Lamb. Right? KJV 1 Corinthians 5:7 7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is...

    Perhaps, but Seventh Day Adventists, possibly the only genuine historicist denomination, is totally cognizant of the role of sovereign God working among the nations according to His will. Actually from the time of Genesis to restored Eden, starting with Genesis 3:15. But of the apocalyptic...

    Did you read post #146? Interested in your view on Terry's perspective.

    We understand Jesus as being divine, and human. Scripture tells us that is so, scripture does not tell is how it is so. I think we should leave it at that.
