    Does the Bible say anything about doing adventure sports?

    The only sin against your own body is fornication. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 1 Cor 6:18 (KJV)

    Is God outside of time?

    And yet you used the word 6 times in your post. Maybe you should stick to writing about things you can comprehend.

    Is God outside of time?

    We can understand it enough to use it in math & technology - and in relation to numbers. Same with eternity in relation to time. We can conceive of it in a practical way.

    Does It Really Matter If You Believe In The Devil?

    Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8 For my thoughts are not your...

    Why not America

    But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought...

    Is God outside of time?

    I can't answer that, but it makes me wonder; is 'infinity' a number?

    Loss of salvation???

    These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 1 John 5:13 (KJV)

    Could earth be the center of the universe?

    I think it could be. If you could de-materialize your giant arm and reach into a complex gear box and hold one gear tooth stationary, the entire gear box would rotate around that tooth. Everything inside the universe (material and immaterial) would have the same relationship with one another...

    Marks Of A True Believer In First John.

    Are you asking, "Can we know objectively that [another] person [other than ourself] is a true believer?"? It would be more accurate to say that a "fellowshipper" walks in the light. Don't get "true believer" and "fellowshipper" mixed up; they're not the same. A true believer can wander out of...

    Is the Gospel the power of God unto salvation?

    I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. All people HAVE been born - unless you know of some who were hatched. But they HAD the Savior - they just spurned Him. God, who is the Saviour of all men ... 1 Tim 4:10 Who gave himself a ransom for all 1 Tim 2:6 And he...

    What Changed?

    Rufus gave an illustration earlier that I like. A lion cub is a carnivore before he ever eats his first morsel of meat. He eats meat because he was born a carnivore by nature.

    What Changed?

    I don't think people are born "sinning" (an action) either. I believe they are born of the flesh (a state) and need to be born of the Spirit. I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: Romans 7:18 (KJV) ... flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth...

    It's a tough subject, but here are a few tidbits that come to mind: There was God's law prior to Moses/Sinai. Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. Gen 26:5 (God to Cain) ... sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his...

    No, just letting the text speak for itself.

    What Changed?

    All the while someone is dying, they're 100% alive. God didn't say, "in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely be dying"; He said, "thou shalt surely die".

    Is the Gospel the power of God unto salvation?

    And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15 (KJV) And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. Luke 2:10 (KJV)

    What Changed?

    You're mixing "partly dead" with "dead". A person is either dead or he isn't. You seem to get that idea from your miss-rendering of the conversation between Eve & the serpent: Eve doesn't mention "day" at all, but the serpent does. But in God's actual statement (2:17), He says they'll...

    What Changed?

    It seems it may have been: For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know...
