Now you'll need to define "chastity", and explain how an inanimate, non-concrete thing can be offended. For instance, love (as an entity) cannot be offended (because it isn't an entity), but a person who loves can be. "Chastity" isn't an entity, and therefore cannot be offended, but a person who...

I have a hard time doing so without including sexual acts in the definition. That's why I asked. And if sexual acts are involved, then it's not celibacy. If sexual acts are not involved, then it's not homosexuality, imo. Who is Chastity, and why is she involved in this conversation?;) But...

Maybe it's not the number six, but "stix", also "styx", like the river of death.

Are you saying that someone can love another person sexually without having sex? That's odd. Or is it that a person can lust after someone without committing fornication? I don't think Jesus would agree with that.

It could be. But couldn't it also be that the heavens and the earth did not exist before God said, "Let there be light"? I have, but you don't agree. I get that, but it's not the same as NOT explaining why. not only not named again, but the same exact name is used, with the determinative...

I'm not sure what they mean, but if God made a body out of clay and breathed life into it, John Smith would have been created directly. If he were born to Momma Smith, it's indirectly. Much like all the houses man builds were not created by God directly, but the materials came, eventually, from...

I think you have to keep the whole context for each group. The angels "left their first estate" or as your version states "left their own abode." This is not immediately the same as "sexual immorality" and "strange flesh". So if the angels' first estate were to have sex with, say, other angels...

Regarding a man or men being called a son of God, I know of 2 instances prior to our adoption as sons and fellow heirs with the begotten son of God, both in the New Testament. Luke 3:38 KJV — Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of...

No it wouldn't. It would just mean you have to translate from the spoken Greek instead of the written. ;)

I suppose that it could be a connection between blood and water...and wine? There seem too many metaphors to try to mix them all together. But yes, life from the dead is a great miracle bought by Jesus' blood.

I can stop breathing for a whole minute. Just mostly dead, I guess. Probably you mean when the breath leaves for the last time. But that still makes it somewhat subjective. But I agree with what I think you're trying to say

There's a special theology club? Is that like short bus theology?

"Mortal death" means "deathly death". I don't understand why both terms are needed. "First" is an interesting adjective to use on "deathly death". It makes it seem like there's a "second" deathly death expected. But God only told Adam he would "surely die" (or "dying he would die", which might...

Ok, then how does that change what we understand about scripture and our place in the world? And welcome to TOL, TIOTM.

I think you are on to something, but it isn't the bodies Satan is most concerned about, rather it is mankind itself. A few verses later God tells Adam, "You are dust." So Satan became the thing that wants to kill all of mankind AND prevent them from being resurrected. That last part fits with...

i think you read that wrong. it was supposed to be "@Ps82 says that Satan will die like a man."

I wrote that after I had revisited your cited thread. And I think I came to a similar conclusion, that the most salient point had no teeth. I've tried. I can't do any better than I have already. The best I can offer is the same you started with, that Christ said we have to eat His body and...

But that was the "most salient point." I don't think I want to bury Him who will never die again, nor certainly burn Him who deserves my worship. Plus, both of those things, including "dissolving", are speaking of types of corruption, which He certainly wouldn't be experiencing now. All of...

This reply to JR? There are no valid points being made here, only how you treat the "host" once the assumption of correctness has already been made. Do you think Jesus had His disciples clean up so festidiously after the first Supper? If not, why not, since it is unlikely they had predesigned...
