    What's Your Take On Salvation?

    I guess we just have to disagree since, as you said, we interpret Scripture differently. As far as my definition of God, it comes from interpreting Scripture. Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Hence our sin is contrary to God's character. In the Bible...

    What's Your Take On Salvation?

    Adam was not guilty before he committed it. Don't you see the Scriptural support for the fact that our will was a part of Adam's will, because we came from Adam? I showed you that passage that attributed Abraham's actions to Levi. I inherit my sin nature from him. That does not necessarily...

    Man - 'Created in the image of God'

    You said yourself that we cannot be perfect until the resurrection. There are no varying degrees of perfection. Either you are perfect or you are not. An imitator can only be so close to the original. We can imitate Christ, but still fall into sin. As long as we confess our sins and keep serving...

    Man - 'Created in the image of God'

    Sanctified is being set apart. We are not to be given over to these sins. This does not say that we won't fall into them at times, but that our lives should not constantly be in sin. Again, not an excuse to sin. This goes right along with what we have been discussing. Our flesh is crucified...

    What's Your Take On Salvation?

    A baby inherits sin. What I am saying is that through Adam the entire race sinned. In other words: if any other human had been in Adam's position, we too would have sinned. Our will was in Adam, because we all came from Adam. There is an age of accountability. It is different for each...

    What's Your Take On Salvation?

    As those Scriptures obviously state: We inherit sin. In other words, Adam's sin caused the whole race of humanity to fall into sin. The sin is not just being born. Romans 5:12 "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all...

    What's Your Take On Salvation?

    Psalm 51:5 "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me." Romans 5:12 "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" We inherit sin from our parents, and our parents from their...

    Man - 'Created in the image of God'

    As I said before: I am not excusing my sin. I am just pointing out that we cannot become perfect in this life, and I think you know this is true. You have yet to explain this passage: Philippians 3:4 ¶ Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he...

    Man - 'Created in the image of God'

    Hebrews 12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye ********, and not sons. 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us...

    The Carpenter was Jesus Christ. He was the God-man. You are not equal with Christ.

    Man - 'Created in the image of God'

    I see. So you think speaking with these "parables" makes you smart. I still don't see the proof of anything you have posted. It's just your word. I guess you think your word is more valuable than anyone else's. Including God's Word.

    Show me where it relates it to that.

    Man - 'Created in the image of God'

    You are correct. Knowledge of the Scripture does not save. Faith in Christ is what saves us. You still are not answering where you are getting your info?

    Man - 'Created in the image of God'

    If we can become perfect, then we don't need a sacrifice. If Christ was not perfect, he was not God. If Christ was not God, He was not able to be a sufficient sacrifice. I am sure you will bring up the Devil's "tempting" of Jesus in the wilderness. Taking what other passages in Scripture say...

    Man - 'Created in the image of God'

    You are wrong on my taking this out of context. If Paul is discussing how he was before Salvation, why then does he use the present tense in saying I am carnal, sold under sin. Paul calls himself the chief of sinners. 1Timothy 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that...

    Man - 'Created in the image of God'

    You are correct here. I was mistaken on the looking away part. I apologize. I did not purposely state a falsehood. The Father and the Son were out of fellowship for that moment, but God never looked away. I come to that conclusion because God's holiness does not allow Him to be in fellowship...

    Man - 'Created in the image of God'

    I never said that I was trying to comfort myself in my sin. Quite the opposite: I said that our sin breaks our fellowship with God, and confession is the only way to regain that fellowship. You said earlier that a mature Christian would be holy: Romans 7:14-25 14 For we know that the...
