So...the prodigal son returns home and dad is ecstatic. "Hey boy...we gonna have a paaaaartay!!! I'm gonna roast that fatted calf right now. But first, I need an infant to get the fire going!"
This is an example of pulling word out of context and making one's own judgement. This is an example of an wilful sin.Then brother by your own tongue you have disavowed your Savior, because you are a sinner, and you often choose to sin on purpose.
jdbear said:Well, I guess that does it...everyone can stop leading people to Christ because His righteousness is upon all humans just like Adams sin!!!
That's excellent.His righteousness is upon no one until they believe in Jesus Christ.
And for that, they need to hear the word of God.

The Greek Fathers emphasized the cosmic dimension of the Fall, namely that since Adam human beings are born into a fallen world, but held fast to belief that man, though fallen, is free.[SUP][2][/SUP] They thus did not teach that human beings are deprived of free will and involved in total depravity, which is one understanding of original sin.[SUP][19][/SUP][SUP][20][/SUP] During this period the doctrines of human depravity and the inherently sinful nature of human flesh were taught by Gnostics, and orthodox Christian writers took great pains to counter them.
Original sin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaAugustine of Hippo (354–430) taught that Adam's sin[SUP][25][/SUP] is transmitted by concupiscence, or "hurtful desire",[SUP][26][/SUP][SUP][27][/SUP] resulting in humanity becoming a massa damnata (mass of perdition, condemned crowd), with much enfeebled, though not destroyed, freedom of will.[SUP][2][/SUP] When Adam sinned, human nature was thenceforth transformed.

In Augustine's view (termed "Realism"), all of humanity was really present in Adam when he sinned, and therefore all have sinned. Original sin, according to Augustine, consists of the guilt of Adam which all humans inherit. As sinners, humans are utterly depraved in nature, lack the freedom to do good, and cannot respond to the will of God without divine grace. Grace is irresistible, results in conversion, and leads to perseverance
Agreed. . . .Here is a Bible verse which few people ever think about. Think about it now please.
Mat 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Well, your unbelief of Ro 5:18:I dont. I'm just sorry you believe God condemns the innocent:
He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both*are*abomination to the LORD. Pr.17:15
Well, that explains your gross misunderstanding of Scripture.That's excellent.
His righteous is upon no one until they believe in Jesus Christ and for that, they need to hear the word of God.
Likewise, Adam's sin is upon no one until they believe in Adam and for that, they need to hear the word of Adam.
Who could imagine that anyone claiming to believe the word of GodWho could imagine that people would actually teach
Who could imagine that people who claim to believe the word of God would not believe Isa 53:5:Who could imagine that people would actually teach that God would pour out His wrath on His innocent Son in order to satisfy His wrath, get it out of His system so to speak, wherefore He could then ignore the manifest wickedness of people who believe that His wrath was satisfied?
You know sis, I've read many of your posts on other subjects and I think you're a very smart lady. I don't know why you're focusing on on one verse here without thinking outside the box by comparing scripture with scripture:Well, your unbelief of Ro 5:18:
"the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men,"
is above my pay grade, and that of all the othesr here.
I'll be taking a pass on your unbelief from here on.
The real kicker is gross unbelief of the word of God in:Now here is the kicker...
A holy and righteous god is angry at an individual BEFORE the individual even commits a sin. This holy and righteous god then beats up his own son in the place of the individual who has not sinned yet. Then when the individual actually does sin he is no longer angry anymore because he already took it out on his son.
Is that what belief has become?Is that what Christianity has become?
And there we have it.Strip all the fluff away and you have people who actually believe little babies, who are born of no choice of their own, deserve eternal punishment and that this is all in accordance with a righteous god.
Have we lost our minds? I mean come on folks, have we really lost our minds?
And now the word of God is insanity.Excuse me for pointing out the obvious but so many of
what people hold to be true is insanity.
"Physician, heal thyself."Have many of you folks actually examined these things with an honest heart? I mean really examine these things?
