On the other hand, the notion of baby-baptism can be squelched because water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of past sins is truly the result of obedience. (Acts 2:38, 22:16) As babies can neither sin nor obey, what would be the point of baptizing them....beside the money...

Those reborn of God's seed are no longer merely "humans". We are children of God.

When seen in 2 Thes 2:10-11's context..."And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion,..."...it is clear the delusion came as a result of...

Please keep in mind that there was no Law of Moses to break at the time of the midwives lies. No Law, no sin.

No. I don't mind. I will maintain my integrity, as my love for God far outweighs my love for anything else. I will remember that God replaced the children Job lost at the beginning of his trials. BTW, I will continue to pray that God keeps me from such a situation, like He has for the last many...

I hesitate to call the Rom 6:4's "being raised with Christ to walk in newness of life" a resurrection, as it confuses some with the final resurrection at the return of Christ Jesus.

Sure, there are other ways to learn of the things of God. You are right about learning things before scripture was available. There was the gift of the Holy Ghost for one thing. And there was the gift of prophesy. Both of these gifts are still available to the truly repentant. But keep studying...

OK, thanks for reading and replying to my post. I cannot tell lies and still maintain my integrity .

Don't you think that what we see as "missing" may just be duplicated in other letters? God isn't going to leave us adrift.

Of course. You're entitled to an opinion. Sure, if there was one. But God didn't put any stipulations on nation's laws like He would eventually put on His. Not God's Law though. That is the only Law that counts. If you can't tell the difference we are finished here. Yet sin, without God's...

No thanks. I don't want to listen to things that you think go against Godliness.

What law is that, exactly? I understand all of it, but what has that got to do with this? Agreed, but not the Law of Moses or some municipality's law. There was no Mosaic Law yet. Can you tell the difference between the Mosaic Law and a conscience? That is fine, for after Noah. But it didn't...

Why not crucify that sinful nature so you can be as holy as God commands? It is written..."And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts." (Gal 5:24)

Aren't they both listed in the same paragraph? Doesn't the false witness have a lying tongue? Perhaps the lying tongue isn't always bearing false witness but lying about something other than a witness of others? I can't even think of an example...

The devil is the father of lies and of those who use them. (John 8:44) You can't be reborn of God if your father is the devil. (1 John 3:9-10)

NOT the same? I disagree.

The conscience is seared by sin.

There was no knowledge of the Law during the two occasions in question. (Rahab and midwives)

What death penalty? You're welcome. If one sins they ARE under the Law, as it was made FOR sinners. "Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers...

Sin is not imputed where there is no law. Yes, and that which goes against God's morality is sin. They walk hand in hand. Where there is no Law, no sin is imputed. And again, thank you for that. Immorality for moral sake... A lie is a lie, and immoral, and against God. Yep. Lying is a sin...
