    right ... I said "we try" ... I should have clarified I was not speaking for Adam ... although we behave just as Adam when we try to hide from God. We've got to get to the point where we run to God the moment we realize we have been enticed away from Him. Adam said "I heard your voice in the...

    If they are already redeemed then there is no need for the sacrifice and offering of Lord Jesus Christ ... nope ... I believe God's promises never fail and when God says the gospel of Christ is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth (Rom 1:16), I believe Him. please...

    As @Magenta mentioned, Eve was deceived by satan. When Adam ate, he knowingly disobeyed God ... and in so doing, Adam joined his wife in her fallen state. Genesis 3:10 says Adam was afraid because he was naked ... so sad ... hiding from God. There is no hiding anything from Him. we try in...

    I understand it a little differently ... we are under sin because we are born after the image and likeness of our parents. Adam was created in the likeness of God (Gen 5:1) ... descendants of Adam are born after the image and likeness of their parents (Gen 5:3). As far as Romans 5:12, the...

    I believe this statement is true. As far as Adam and Eve being afraid after the fall ... the fruit of the Spirit was no longer in evidence in their lives resulting in no perfect love to cast out fear. Same with the shame they felt in their nakedness after the fall ... shame is a fleshly...

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    Iconoclast already acknowledged Hebrews 2:6-8 is quoted from Psalm 8. nope ... Psalm 8 describes the magnificence of creation and tells us the glory of God exceeds the glory of creation (vs 1). David then goes on to proclaim, in considering the vast wonders of creation, what is man ? Psalm...

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    I will ask you the same question I asked Iconoclast: In Hebrews 2:9 the Greek word translated into English "everyone" is an adjective, genitive, singular, masculine. Adjectives relate to nouns and adjectives agree with the noun they modify in number, case and gender. In Hebrews 2:16...

    some even go so far as to bend the rules of grammar in their futile attempt to align Scripture to their dogma. example: claiming that an adjective which is genitive, singular, masculine refers to a noun which is not genitive, singular, masculine. Adjectives... · can be masculine, feminine, or...
