Okay, you take only the Scripture which suits your fantasy and I'll look at all of it.
BTW, all 20 versions of the Scripture I have say the same thing in 1 Tim 2:14
Are you saying Adam didn't sin?
Rom 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is a figure of him that was to come.
1 Tim 2:14 is not saying that Adam did not transgress, but that the woman...
I don't think the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was either good or evil. It was simply a tree that God forbid Adam to eat from. And therein lies the importance of the tree. That it was forbidden to eat.
With the law comes the knowledge of sin.
Adam sinned by eating of the tree. And he...
That's a very interesting prayer recorded there in John 17. It came just before he was arrested and taken to face the councils and be scourged.
When this same thing was to happen to Jesus' disciples he said to them,
Mat 10:17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils...
God's angels are immortal beings. They don't die. Jesus said that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father in heaven.
God's holy angels are not bound to either heaven or earth. They can travel anywhere God sends them.
According to the Scripture, he ascended to the right hand of God with a body that is no longer subject to death. Paul says , "death no longer has dominion over him".
And in the resurrection we shall see him as he is and be like him. In the likeness of his resurrection. Paul refers to them as...
Jesus doesn't have to be "preexistent Son of God" in order to come down from heaven. All Jesus has to do is claim that of himself he can do nothing and that it is the Father that does the works.
So, how is that the Father is the one doing the works?
Seems it is the Father who came down from...
We know that the Father (God) is spirit and that He also has spirit which proceeds from Himself. In other words, God can be in heaven and also anywhere else by His spirit. God does not have to leave His location in order to put His spirit upon another. When God puts His spirit upon another...
It's the same covenent. The covenent is refered to as new because it laid barren until the death of the testator which came after the covenent at Mount Sinai. It was newly brought into force by the death of Christ.
Gal 3:15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
Gal 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is...
Abraham is possessor of all things (heaven and earth) through his own seed...which is Christ. Christ is the testator of the covenant God made with Abraham which was brought into force by Christ's death. So, all those who are in Christ are adopted sons of Abraham by faith.
Gen 15:5 And he brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”
Gen 15:6 And he believed the LORD, and he counted it to him as righteousness.
Abraham was accounted righteousness...
You're free to believe whatever you like. I simply happen to be one who has accepted the N.T. as from God.
Accordingly, Paul explains that the Jews are in bondage to the law (the ministration of death as he calls it) which is a schoolmaster to lead to the saving faith which Abraham showed when...
I don't recall Paul saying anyone is a "spiritual descendant through faith in Jesus".
This is what Paul says:
Gal 4:1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
Gal 4:2 But is under tutors and governors until the time...
