And where do you get YOUR news?

Guess again .... it was 10-22-27 who mentioned them in comment #17.

Then why mention them at all?

There's only one sin unto death, although there are many unpardonable sins. For instance, you may do something after you have become a Christian that is partly willful, and partly through failure to exercise the proper self-control that you might have exercised. To that extent it was your will...

The fact that you're questioning says you haven't. Those who fall away don't come back. The fact that you're repentant and are attempting to live righteously, despite your .... our .... imperfections. Keep in mind what the Apostle Paul says: "Although I want to do good, evil is right there...

Therefore, I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our...

"4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 [c]if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify...

Tell me, does your Sabbath keeping church put to death those who work on the sabbath? Or do you "pick and choose"? "You shall keep the Sabbath, therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who [b]profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut...

Let's see, Joseph Smith was 24 when he started the "Church of Christ". Charles Taze Russell was 27 and the equivalent of a millionaire owning a chain of clothing stores before he started the Watch Tower Society. Actually, Charles Fox Parham founded the Pentecostal church, and he was an adult...

Jesus was a young man when he started his ministry

A good interlinear would answer that question. The word for "world" is Strong's #165 which is aiōnos, which is translated "ages" in most Bibles. The KJV always renders it "world". Yes, there will be a "new heaven's and a new earth" but not in the literal sense. As Ecclesiastes 1:4 tells us...

So, animals go to heaven? You mean I'll see my cat, Sam in the Kingdom of Heaven? "And they went into the ark to Noah, two by two, of all flesh in which is the breath of life." Gen. 7:15

Soooo ... God created an imperfect being?

There wouldn't be a need for a spiritual birth had Adam obeyed. The earth would be filled with perfect humanity. The spiritual birth, the New Creation was created for a purpose, without sin, that purpose wouldn't be needed.

What's to understand? He quoted a scripture, gave his thoughts and I gave mine.

Tell me something, isn't that what God told Adam, that eternal life depended on him obeying Him? He said "eat of the fruit and you will die". If Adam had not sinned, the world would be filled with humanity, under the same conditions as Adam, obeying God's command. It was the same as the Law...

As a perfect human being, yes, Adam could have ransomed Eve. But he would have stayed dead, and how would the human race begin?

I have a different spin on this. The Bible teaches that Jesus was an exact equivalent of Adam, Adam sinned willfully and so did the race in him, according to 1 Tim. 2:14, compared with Rom. 5:12-14. Jesus died to overcome all the effects of Adam’s wilful sin; and Adam’s wilful sin made him and...

Yep

No, I read the original post that started it.
