    What Keeps Us From Sinning In Heaven?

    The two great commandments and, by extension, the ten. No, I am not. However, there is common grace and there is saving grace. I and my Father are one. (John 10:30) Although we, ultimately, have no right, for the time being we have been granted a contingent religious liberty to do so. Common...

    What Keeps Us From Sinning In Heaven?

    I don't see how mutability or immutability has anything to do with protection from a 2nd rebellion. As far as the 2 bible texts are concerned, Adam and Eve were explicitly made in the image of the Godhead, for Elohim, the Plural One said: "Let us make man in our image," and both were also...

    How much clarity do you find you get from studying the original languages?

    @historyb What exactly do you mean by "Traditional?"

    How many have ever changed their minds...

    I have to admit that, while I do find the people here to be more friendly and tolerant than on many other forum websites, I haven't gotten as much food for thought as I'd hoped for. But I'm still quite new here, so I'm very hopeful. I find that forum discussion keeps me looking up Bible verses...

    And yet you responded. Thanks for the warning. I'm on the careful side of the line. The blood of Christ is the eternal antidote for sin.

    Not gonna happen. Perfect, sinless nature + knowledge of Calvary = protection from 2nd rebellion. The blood of Christ is the eternal antidote for sin.

    That's hilarious coming from you.

    What Keeps Us From Sinning In Heaven?

    You said yourself, you're here for amusement. As I've said before, when I was in the throes of adolescence, my mother used to tell me: "You would argue with a fence post." I've come to know how she felt. I'm also becoming less and less interested in your estimation of how I should conduct myself...

    Haven't we found that the virus is no respecter of temperature or levels of humidity?

    Dare I ask this...

    Hypotheses notwithstanding, coughing or sneezing through a mask is less dangerous to those around you than is coughing or sneezing without one. Wear or don't wear as you see fit. I wear one in close quarters as a courtesy to those around me. I believe it is wise as serpents and harmless as doves...

    What Keeps Us From Sinning In Heaven?

    God saves man through the blood of Christ alone, and man's belief in, and allegiance to, Christ is salvation. It is no marvel to angels that the infinite sacrifice made by the Son of God was ample enough to bring salvation to a fallen race, but that this atoning sacrifice should have been made...

    What Keeps Us From Sinning In Heaven?

    It became Him for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in the redemption of the world to save sinners by the blood of the Lamb. The great sacrifice of the Son of God was neither too great nor too small to accomplish the work. In the wisdom of God it was complete; and the atonement...

    Yes, I used to think the delineation between covenants was trivial and much over-emphasized. Not so much now. Pre-Internet, however, is another story altogether. I had a major paradigm shift in Theology in 1990.

    Dare I ask this...

    I really love the way the U.S. is compared to other countries of only 50 million people. The U.S. has nearly half of the population of the entirety of Europe (which has roughly twice the population density). When I was a young fellow they used to say, a lot, "It's like comparing apples and oranges."

    Not really, but at this point, it's Wild, Wild West. ;)
