Certainly Christians are in Christ. That doesn't mean that they are Christ, or that Christ is His church. Looking at your last paragraph, it seems we are agreeing about that.

But that doesn't mean that Christ is the church. Certainly we do find in Scripture that when somebody persecutes the church, they are persecuting Christ: NKJV Act 9:4 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?" However, that does not...

That may well be so. People do use phrases like "devilishly difficult", "it hurts like hell," and so on. However, like Martin, I don't expect to see words like "sin(fully)", devil(ishly), "hell" and the names "God" and "Christ" used in the way unsaved people use them here on a Christian forum...

I can see from the Bible that Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, but not that He is the church. This verse (and there are probably others) shows that Jesus Christ is not the church: NKJV Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, He...

But you did just say that Martin was wrong, but that he was sinfully wrong. You wrote: "@Martin Marprelate is sinfully wrong" I cannot see any other way to interpret such words than as an accusation.

Yes, it's attributed to Augustine (Augustine of Hippo, not Augustine of Canterbury).

Which woman? The context shows that it was not Mary by Eve: Gen 3:13 And the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." God was speaking to Eve, not Mary. Gen 3:14 So the LORD God said to the serpent: "Because you have done...

I agree. Partaking in food/meals prepared by those who worship false gods is assumed by those worshippers to indicate belief in such gods. That was, as I understand it, the reason Daniel and his three friends declined food from the king of Babylon. Eating it would have implied to the...

But if you say that Mary had to be holy and immaculate from conception for the incarnation of Jesus Christ to take place, why wouldn't her parents have needed to be equally holy and immaculate from conception in order for Mary to be immaculately conceived? And she had two human parents!

I didn't say he was. I was answering your claim: "Eve is the mother of the fallen unregenerated." That is why I said what I did about Seth being godly. He was a son of Adam and Eve, not of Mary. Yes, but that doesn't mean Mary crushed the serpent's head. When have I said that Eve was the...

Not according to the context. In verse 13 we read: "And the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." Then with nothing to indicate that a different woman is meant, verse 15 has God saying: "And I will put enmity Between...

The context in Genesis 3 indicates that the seed of the woman, Eve, is meant: NKJV Gen 3:13 And the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." Gen 3:14 So the LORD God said to the serpent: "Because you have done this, You are...

In that case, sorry for misunderstanding, and thank you very much for explaining.

Jesus did not "mistakenly teach" anything. Jesus Christ is fully God, as John writes in the first chapter of his gospel. So Colossians is not contradicting what Jesus said.
