    When did the gospel go to the Gentiles?

    How did Balaam approach God? How did Nebuchadnezzar approach God? How did Cyrus approach God? How did Naaman approach God? These all had some kind of relationship with God, but none of them...NONE...followed the Mosaic law, as far as we know. Those standards you're talking about were not about...

    ok, I wonder what Jesus wants me to do

    Hi. Welcome to the forum. One thing Jesus wants us to do is Micah 6:8 (KJV) He hath shewed thee, O man, what [is] good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

    Original Sin, and its Essence

    God didn't choose for us to become sinners. I never said humans are sinful from conception. I don't believe they are, because of: Romans 9:11 KJV — (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of...

    Original Sin, and its Essence

    Ping @JudgeRightly If you're tired of discussing this topic, I understand, but it seems important to understand what happened to the human race because of Adam's sin, and how Jesus' death can be applied to us to fix what happened. You'll notice that Jesus' death was specifically NOT earned, but...

    Original Sin, and its Essence

    True. Children's teeth set on edge might be just a result. But Ez 18 associates it with death, and Gen 2 and 3 indicate that death was a punishment. If death is not a punishment, this conversation will change dramatically. True. They are definitely exceptions. That's why some say they are the...

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    If lived faith trumps the written word, why was the word written in the first place? Not to dog-pile on you, but if the written word isn't trustworthy, any religious system could bring the same stories you've brought and claim their system as truth--something that others need to follow. We...

    Original Sin, and its Essence

    Yet @Clete himself acknowledged that physical death is a result of Adam's sin. And all human beings, with the exception of Jesus, are either physically dead or will die, even if they never commit a sin (like those who die in the womb). "It is appointed unto man once to die...". You both can...
