How about inherited instead of "transfer"? Where is this idea of Adam's guilt found in scripture? Why not keep it simple? Adam is guilty of his own sin and for the fall of mankind, since he is the federal head of all fallen humanity. Adam's sin is imputed to all who are born into this world...

Answer what and whose question? But talking about YOUR questions re the Fall, I answered, sir, in my 978.

Well...at least you got the "king" part right. :rolleyes:

Aren't you the paragon of wisdom? :rolleyes:

The Lord has been taking care of me for over 40 years now. And your second sentence is incoherent. "Towards God's Word"??? Let me ask you: Who and what are you "towards God's Word"?

Ain't our flesh (skin) fallen, too? :coffee:

Yeah...but I bet you needed help. :LOL:

Who else but God? It's how he designed us. How would Adam Do that? He was but a mere mortal. Again, it's the way God designed mankind.

Congrats! You finally figured that out.

Good grief! Are you so dull of hearing that you cannot perceive an analogy when I make one? If a heart surgeon can literally replace a useless, worn out heart with a new one -- then so CAN God! God gives all his chosen people NEW HEARTS -- not new flesh or new skins! So, God is in the heart...

So God is not a good teacher? Jesus not a good teacher? The Holy Spirit is another dud in the teaching dept.? 1 John 2:27 27 But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything—and is...

You continue to wax on incoherently. Cannot heart surgeons in this fallen temporal reality replace useless hearts with a new one in what is commonly called a "heart transplant" procedure? And why do you limit God's power? "God could save NOTHING..."? You have a really low view of God, don't...

Wait a minute! You've been saying all along that our skin (flesh) is evil. Now, you're telling us that our nature is evil? Which is it, already? :rolleyes:

By Adam's sin and their own personal sin. Everyone inherited Adam's sin nature. This is precisely why man cannot not sin. Man IS a sinner in his very essence. A lion feeds on prey (the overt behavior) precisely because the beast IS carnivorous by nature. All living creatures ACT out...

First, you have no clue of what "facets" of a person's "being" reside in the human heart. In your list above you list only two components that reside in the human heart -- mind and emotions. You conveniently omitted conscience and volition. And you talk about me refusing to have an open mind...

By the way, Mr. Skin Man...the fallen angels don't have any skin hanging off their bones because they don't have any bones. And yet, they are the most evil entities in this universe. Therefore, the evil they think, speak and do must also come from within them.

The term "flesh" is used metaphorically in order to contrast with the Spirit. And this kind of use makes perfectly good sense since Adam lost the Spirit of Life that was within him after he sinned. As many translations rightly render the word "flesh" to be the sinful nature. What is evil is...

And one more thing Mr. BackSlapper and ChestPounder -- what part of Mk 10:18 don't you get? Or what part of Rom 7:18 can't you understand? Why are you prone to think of yourself as being something much better than what scripture portrays sinners? When Jesus said that no man is good, isn't he...

What I bolded above is patently false and is a result of your unsanctified reasoning. What do you think the gracious gift of a NEW HEART is all about!? In your world, a "new heart" is just so many words? A new heart with the gift of the Holy Spirit within is just so much chopped liver to you...

Even so...none of the unregenerate "practices goodness" (per the Darby translation) because the fear of the Lord is not in them. Only those who fear the Lord will practice goodness. I proved all this from the proverbs and other wisdom books. The Fear of the Lord is a NC gift that affects the...
