@Iconoclast ... the only difference between what you submitted in Post 2827 and what you submitted in Post 2822 is that you did not include the first sentence from 2822 in Post 2827. I replied to Post 2822 here. If all you're going to do in the discussion is regurgitate your previous post...

Scripture is clear that the Lord Jesus Christ died for the sins of the whole world ... all descendants of Adam ... John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that...

what I see is that the many sons spoken of in Heb 2:10 does not negate the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ died for every man, woman and child who is a descendant of Adam (Heb 2:9). Hebrews 2: 9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned...

nope ... prior to being born again, every believer is born dead in trespasses and sins (Eph 2:1). In Rom 6:6 we read ... Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. until a person is born again, he or...

:rolleyes: ... total misapplication of the parable the Lord Jesus Christ spoke to the pharisees and scribes who murmured against Jesus because the publicans and sinners drew near to Him (Luke 15:1). In the parable, the son who left his father's house and wasted his inheritance through riotous...

brightfame52, Peter was speaking to a group larger than just "some jews". Peter was speaking to the whole assembly at the temple. It was still the Day of Pentecost ... the day when all males were commanded to appear before the Lord (Deut 16:16). It was the ninth hour of the day ... the same...

:rolleyes: ... nope ... according to Scripture, Eve was the one who fell prey to satan's lies. Adam, however, willfully ate of the tree which God had specifically told him not to eat from, and in doing so Adam joined his wife in her fallen state 1 Timothy 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but...

From NET notes: ... when Jesus speaks of setting himself apart (consecrating or dedicating himself) on behalf of the disciples here in 17:19 the meaning is closer to the consecration of a sacrificial animal (Deut 15:19). Jesus is “setting himself apart,” i.e., dedicating himself, to do the will...

As mentioned above, Holy Spirit has been active from the time of creation ... we just live in a time in which the activity as described in verses after John 16:7 takes place: John 16: 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 Of sin...

:rolleyes: ... more of your lifting a verse from the context within which the Author of Scripture has placed it ... 1 Peter 2: 6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded...

From John MacArthur commentary (bold/red mine): Even though the Jews were Abraham's descendants (and thus part of God's chosen nation), they were like slaves, not sons, and in danger of eternally forfeiting the privileges they had received. In Matthew 8:11–12 the Lord warned, "I say to you that...

click if people do not believe, they will be judged according to the law notwithstanding the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ died for all mankind ... that is why salvation is wholly by grace through faith. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior ... trust that what God tells you in...

Sometimes misfortune is not caused by God or the devil ... the misfortune can be traced all the way back to the sin of Adam and Eve when creation was brought under bondage: Romans 8: 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope 21...

Tripping and falling is just something that happens ... an accident ... satan (the devil) uses situations / enticements to draw our attention away from God to anything other than God. Once we're distracted from God, we can turn back before we actually engage in sin ... or we can continue on a...
