Adam's sin made all who were born afterwards to be born without the Holy Spirit indwelling them. This caused us to need a Savior, which made us free from being cut off from the Lord, one by one as we eventually fell since all of our sins were dealt with once and for all time.

Gal 3: 23 Before faith we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith that should afterwards be revealed. The law of sin and death was added 430 yrs after the promise of faith due to transgressions. It was and is good holy just and spiritual. It contains the minimum standard of good...

Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or tittle shall in wise pass from the law until is fulfilled. Before faith came we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith that should afterwards be reviled. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by...

1 Cor 15: 46 KJV "Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural, and afterward that which is spiritual." I haven't found a single place in scripture that tells us that man's time on the earth is 7,000 years, but if you add it up, including the Millennium. I get 7,000...

1 Jn 3: KJV "And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and can assure our hearts before him. For it our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart and knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not then we have confidence before God, and know that we have whatsoever we ask...

Rom 11: 20-22 KJV "Well, because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not high minded, but fear: for if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare thee. Behold therefor the goodness and severity of God: unto them that fell, severity; but towards...

1 Jn 5: 16, 17 KJV "If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say he shall pray for it. All unrighteousness is sin and there is a sin not unto death." This is an...

Oops, I misquoted 1 Tim 4:1 which should be, "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and the doctrines of devils."

How can the natural man fall away from what he never had in the first place? Do you know what the difference between stumbling and falling away is? When we stumble, we get back up. When we fall away, we don't! Falling away equals departing from the faith as in 1 Tim 4: 1. As scripture...

Regarding predestination, Scripture tells us, "Those whom he foreknew he did also predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son." And again, "The Lord knows the end from the beginning." This only tells us that the members of the body of Christ will one day in the future be conformed to...

1 Tim 4: 1 KJV "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times, some shall fall away, giving heed to seducing spirits and the doctrine of devils." And again in another place, "Except there is a falling away, the end shall not come."

2 Pet 2: 20, 21 KJV "For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the...

I too was raised S Bapt. Every Sunay was a salvation message because teaching wasn't important, only salvation. When I joined the Navy, I believed OSAS near as much as I believed in Jesus as my savior. I remember telling my shipmates, how I could have two buttons before me and pushing the one...

In Heb 3; I learned that disobedience is due to insufficient faith.

Is 28: 9, 10 KJV "Whom shall he teach knowledge? And whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk and drown from the breasts. For precept must6 be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little." Heb 5...

Gal 2: 20. I am crucified with Christ nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ lives within me and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Gal 5: 24. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the...

Be not deceived, God is not mocked, whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap. If he soweth to the flesh, he shall from the flesh reap corruption. And if he soweth to the Spirit, he shall from the Spirit, reap life everlasting. Sin has three effects upon a person. Spiritual sins require...

True; we, the gentiles, are the wild olive branches grafted into the cultivated root and trunk of Israel.
