Maybe you aren't understanding what "the" means when modifying "man" and "woman". "Father" and "Mother" are not names.

Are you saying that God is pleased with people's sin? You say that Is 46:10 is proof that God decrees all things that happen , and that He does so from before the beginning of time (if I understand you correctly). And you say that Is 46:10 gives the reason for how God is able to declare the end...

How about [2Ki 20:1 KJV] In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. [2Ki 20:5 KJV] Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people...

More like Jacob has now "supplanted" Esau in despising his birthright as the primary beneficiary of Christ's coming.

Right, the hope of glory. We have assurance of our faith in that the Holy Spirit is within us, a downpayment of what us to come, that is, the breath of God that will be breathed into us forever at the resurrection. That's why it is "faith" (the substance of things hoped for) now, because we...

By the way, @Crede, welcome to TOL. Hopefully you're here to discuss more than preach.

So all of our sins are predetermined by God?

Perhaps, but you had to jump to Romans to make the connection.

And any Calvinist commentator will refuse to acknowledge some of the other scriptures that don't fit with his tradition and philosophy.

Are you trying to be obtuse?

What do you mean?

Don't you think the use of the word "faith" with respect to "the operation of God" is speaking of the future reality (remember what "faith" means) of our own resurrection based on the already witnessed operation of God in the resurrection of Christ. So we are risen with Him in that He is risen...

Then they would all be future events.

Do they have lamb?

Except that the reference Justin uses to say Paul's gospel message was unique (and a mystery) ignores the prior text that says specifically what the mystery (and therefore the uniqueness) actually was: 3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, 4...

Does it seem like we will move back to "no animals on the menu" eventually? Even though God seems to like the sweet savor of roasting meat?

I wasn't talking about the belief. More the fact (see thread title). Good news is good, according to the angels announcing Christ's birth at least, even if you don't go to Bethlehem to see for yourself. But those who went had their faith confirmed.

Jesus took great issue with some of the churches that didn't deal with the Jezebel-type issues. Sure. Mormons, too. It's good for churches to go on record against immorality and perversity.

There's only one way to have eternal life, and that's through the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Whatever law you think is going to save you, that's the one the DBR is good news about.

That doesn't mean they weren't eventually treated as if they were fellow heirs with Jesus, along with Jews. Right!
