God is jealous over our souls. He wants them attached to Him....not each other.

It isn't imputed...that would mean that it was there already. The righteousness of God is a gift....not a human attribute. We are to seek God for it...so we can't already possess it until it is given. Abraham had faith/faithfulness in him. That is why it was imputed (attributed ) to him. You...

Given that we have free choice....and no knowledge of cause and effect (at first) in spiritual terms...I think the fall was inevitable. Add to that the ruses of the devil...who really doesn't respect us humans.

That seems right....but only "seems" so. The knowledge about the gospel is not the same as having new life. Believing that something is true is a good start. But if it's true then we can knock, ask and seek...until we are given power from heaven. That is the kind of faith that saves. It is a 2...

To impute means "to be responsible for"....or determined to be. There is a whole doctrinal error based on a bad interpretation of the word "impute". It means to be "deemed to be". As in...."the rash was imputed to the poison ivy." or...."the engine failure was imputed to the bird strike." So...

Amen! It "looked" good to eat....but there is a a way that "seems" right unto a man ....but it is the way of death.

But I am showing you verses that have Jesus as God...and you don't flinch? You follow one rule one time and then throw the same process out the next time because you don't like what it says. I don't have the time today to go through the OT references to Jesus being YHVH as well as His...

Actually in Hebrew the best way to read the verse is not..."if thou canst tell"...but...."for you know" (kiy tedah). So then the identity of God's Son is no mystery. Everyone knows His name.

yes...but not as the religious observers do...but in truth.

In your search for loopholes around the plain meaning of the text...you are throwing out the reasoning power that even a child could conjure up. I know the arguments...like autos in John 1...meaning either "Him" or "it"....as in believing in "it's" name rather than in "His" name. But with...

Could your problem be the difficulty you have in understanding how other languages work? Do you speak more than one language? Notice this inter-testamentary comparision. The Lord says this... Is. 48:12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first (rishon), I also am...

Putting things in Greek is called translating...not adding. All you have to do is take the OT YHVH references and see that they are translated into the Greek as Kurios. So the the Greek Kurios refers to YHVH. You don't have to be a scholar to look at the word associations in the 2 languages. You...

"gadar perets, post: 438750, member: 7741"]Happy Yom Teruah / Day of Trumpets / Day of Shouting! If you are among those who believe Yeshua (Jesus) fulfilled the reality of this day, please tell me how. What did the shadow point to and what was the reality casting the shadow? For example, we...

Jesus Christ is the Lord (YHVH) from heaven. This is an English forum...and we use English terms as well as English verses. In the OT the word YHVH is translated mainly as Lord. So then prepare the way for the Lord...that would be YHVH again. Is. 40:3 A voice is calling, "Clear the way for...

God is also omnipatient...if that word exists.. We can easily confuse His silence for a lack of interest. But He ignores long winded explanations by avoiding foolish questions. Once we get the questions right...He answers.

Welcome Doc! I hope your stay here goes smoothly! You may even become a regular contributor... :)

The right way of proceeding will always be rejected by the majority as foolish....impractical, and impossible. Just sayin'

This is a love game, so to speak. When you love someone your life meshes with the beloved. In fact it can be painful to separate that union. So it is with God. He is looking for a "Bride" to walk in love with...for ever. But there are also those who are just humble and meek...but don't have...

I'll take that one! :) Christianity attracts all kinds of people. Because the things spoken of in the bible are so fantastic...this attracts people who are drawn to fantasy....even though the bible is speaking the truth. So then the witness of such folk tends to the fantastical and has really...

If we look at the Hebrew word for witness..."ed" which is this in hebrew.. . עד ..we see the letters are the first 2 in the word for "eden" (as in the garden thereof) The letters mean...to see...the door...ayin...dalet... Jesus said "I am the door"....and if you see Me you have seen God. So...
