Everyone dies. Everyone will be resurrected That is universal. Those Justified and regenerated have already been granted eternal life.

That only means that you do not really understand what it means to be forgiven. To be forgiven is a state of being. It is not an on-again-off-again condition. Contrary to the concept of the RCC, one who has been forgiven does not become lost (unforgiven) again the very next time he commits a...

Well yes he did return to dust. but that was in complete harmony with how he was created. We know that because the tree of life was placed in the Garden to fend off the natural action of physically dying: Gen 3:22-23 Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing...

Sin is lawlessness (1 John 3:4). Or as the KJV says, sin is transgression of the law. It is something that one does. Since sin is by definition lawlessness, there can be no such thing as sin without a valid body of law. Paul says the law gives us our knowledge of sin (Rom 3:20). He says, “I...

Given all of that, there is not much for you and me to even discuss. So your idea here is that God obviously didn't know that Adam and Eve would sin and placed the tree of life in the garden to give them immortality. Not a very high view of God. But I guess given your comments above, that...

How can it be a battle if it is not a choice? Because they all sinned. Not because Adam sinned. Adam was just the first (actually the second, but no matter) to sin. He introduced sin to the physical creation. As a result, he introduced spiritual death to the physical creation. Physical death...

Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,.... That does not seem to me to be a personification. It is a statement of fact. You do not agree that each and every human being possesses a spirit? That is weird. A physical human being in the non-physical spiritual realm? That is...

John 1:1 says that "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God". It goes on to say in John 1:9 that the Word, was the "True Light" and in John 1:14 that "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us" Thus, what or who was the...

You haven't sinned because Adam sinned. You sinned because you, like Adam, chose to sin. We all start out just like Adam started out, i.e., sinless. We become sinners once we sin. Having sinned, we become dead in (our) trespasses and sins. We were once spiritually alive and then became...

Go see a dentist.

If that were true, then you could go backward or forward in time as you please. But you can't. It is not simply an idea. Time is a physical quantity. It can be measured. When we say God is outside of time, we mean that he is not constrained by time. There is no indication in God's word that...

Nothing in post 681 treats Mark 16:16 as a logical IFF function. Interestingly, although I believe that it truly is an IFF function, it is not Mark 16:16 that states it to be so.

As someone I won't name here said, "How can you say you believe (have faith) in God and not do what He says?"

Yeah, I am quite familiar with IF A and B then C. If both A and B are true, then C is true. If either A or B is not true, it doesn't matter whether the other is true or not. Why bother to address it? It is not an IF and only IF A and B then C. Thus knowing the condition of C says nothing...

Logic demands that in Mark 16:16 both believing and being baptized are the conditions for being saved. The conjunction is "and" which means that both serve as conditions together. The logic demands that if either is lacking, then the condition for being saved has not been met.

Then why would you assume that the believer who was not baptized would be saved? I don't think there is any place in the NT that says or even suggests that.

I sincerely believe that the Baptism in/with/by the Holy Spirit is the indwelling Holy Spirit.

But you can even though it is not there. That figures. There seem to be a lot of that in your posts.

Hebrews 12:2 definitely speaks about OUR faith, not the faith of Jesus.

The interesting thing about Hebrews 11 is that it is sometimes called, or referred to as. the Bibles Hall of Fame. And for all the examples of faith of so many of the Key elders, patriarchs, etc, there is no mention of Jesus Christ as a major example of one with faith. For me that says it all...
