While being at least slightly arguable, I find this very insightful. It underscores the necessity of humility.

This is my understanding as well. But while sharpening our swords on each others', we have to be careful not to venture into Titus 3:9 territory. And speaking of Titus 3:9, I think people make a mistake by interpreting the word "law" as meaning the ten commandments every time Paul utters it...

I'm disabled, so I have a lot of free time on my hands to study the Bible and even study about studying the Bible. Also, the church to which I belong has several Sabbath/Sunday School classes, and the one I go to uses a lot of technical Theological terms (sorry about that). I wouldn't dare call...

This part seems just a little weak.

What have unfallen angels overcome?

Marred, perhaps, but certainly not obliterated. The family unit itself is a model of the Godhead. In eternity past the Trinity was so consumed with love that They had to create other sentient beings to share it with. We procreate to share love with our children. Even unbelievers do this. The...

The 2nd advent of Christ has always been considered the parousia, or the physical appearance of Jesus in the clouds of glory to rescue His redeemed at the end of the age. All are free to believe as they like, but I do not spiritualize the order of eschatological events and revise chronology that...

Who was made in the image of God. Do you actually deny we are made in the image of God? Likeness being character

So was the new covenant. But we don't mind borrowing that, now, do we? How could they if there isn't any except what is contrived by those who seek to deny God's claims upon them?

I once saw a debate wherein a preacher spent over 5 minutes effectively trying to convince everyone He was a better Hebrew scholar than the scores of translators who have rendered לְעֹלָ֑ם (lə·‘ō·lām) as "forever" in English in Exodus 31:17. He insisted that it could mean any number of other...

"But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God..."

But aren't all human beings born in His image? I think hair-splitting and over-emphasis will always lead to error and division.

Thank you for participating.

@CharismaticLady, I have added a new option to the poll voting that may be more to your liking. I don't seem to have the option to remove one (probably out of fairness to those who have already selected a particular option). Nevertheless, the option to change votes has always been in place. I...

Sorry, I have an annoying habit of switching terms to reduce monotony. In this case, I define "resurrection" as when Christ comes the 2nd time to change us from mortality to immortality, or from corruption to incorruption.

I've been "pondering so much" because the more I learn, the more I realize I don't know.

Wow, the evil surmising really cuts, but I suppose one has to do what their nature tells them to do. All right, then. I miss our short friendship.

Well, that cuts, but I'm not catering to your delusion. The poll is voluntary, so there's always the abstinence option, but I guess you'll have to do what your nature tells you to do as well. Although I feel I must warn you that when someone insists on picking a fight, my natural inclination is...

Satan forfeited his place as the highest government official besides Christ Himself. Adam and Eve had to be born again to be saved, just like the rest of us. Your theory therefore starts with the premise that in order to be made sin-proof, we must first have been sinners. The will of God is...
