Not me saying it, Moses.

Oh boy. I don't think you'd be on your own there. The devil has spent the last 6000 years misrepresenting God to mankind. He knew before creation who God was, and what He was like. But didn't know Him well enough, and has since that time tried to played on people's gaps in their knowledge to...

Fortunately we are not judged according to our understanding of doctrine. However, we need to come to terms with the fact that false doctrine can directly affect the way we view God, which can impact on our faith and lead us into beliefs whereby we miss out on certain truths that help us to...

Lol. That was my first resource also. It fits have excellent information, and very detailed and well researched. One for a true scholar, not for casual readers.

I was afraid someone would ask me that. It's information I've picked up here and there but can't remember the exact source. Give me a few hours, just going back to work, and I'll see what I can find. I have read a couple of excellent books on the subject, but that's not much help to you is it

There another modern perspective of that we are seeing a lot more of... You have your truth and you are entitled to it. I have my truth and I'm sticking to it. Matthew is dangerously close I think to this very modern nonsense.

Actually, not necessarily. There are serious doubts held by scholars re the reliability of the Sanaiticus, and the Vaticanus which formed the basis for the Jesuits Douay and many of the modern versions. Dont know about the Alexandrinus one. The KJV was based on what is commonly called the...

One didn't require faith in the trinity doctrine to believe and accept the full divinity of Christ. Many teach, especially Catholics, the the trinity was formulated in order to defend the divinity of Christ. It wasn't needed.

Adam and Eve were created in God's image. Seth was born in the image of his father Adam. And every human since had been born with the hereditary defects of their forbears. KJV Genesis 5:3 3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and...

You think our judgement of Hitler and his cohorts as being totally depraved and fiendish is somehow wrong, that they weren't evil enough? Surely even they couldn't imagine the dream of being able to torture their victims forever... Yet we grant God the attribute of righteousness and justice for...

Amen. The just shall live by his faith. Here are they that keep the Commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus.

↑ So Adam and Eve's children are born how...., with a dead spirit? An inactive spirit? Or do all children have a spirit and it dies upon their own first sin? Now you've got my attention. Flesh it out for me if you can. God warned A&E that they would die the day they eat of the tree of...

Comes from one of a series of books written by Ellen White, Spiritual Gifts.

I don't agree with the concept of original sin. Quite the opposite. I think it's a mistake to merge the meanings of original sin with sinful nature. I thought I'd make that clear in my post, I guess not. Let me just lay it out but in shorthand. We are born with all the degenerate moral...

Amen to all that my brother. That thing you often remind us of... The low place... Always a great place to start each day.

Doesn't apply in my situation. But I agree with your thoughts.

God is love. That I believe is an absolute Truth. Everything He does, thinks, says, is motivated from love. Everything. He cannot lie. He cannot deceive. He cannot coerce. Not because He is following a self imposed arbitrary rule, but because His very nature recoils at the suggestion of Him...

For me it is. If I don't get vaccinated there is the very real likelihood I will lose my job which pays my rent. I will be left with my pension and need to move to very much cheaper accommodation in a place I won't like. Oh, and my employer is also my landlord.

@NewMusic Okay. First, I agree with the bulk of your first section, and little of your last section. The part of the first section I disagree with is your contention we are not born of a sinful nature. I agree with the part where you contend we are sinners because we choose to. We sin for...

Very good.
