The miracles keep rolling in!

But God is worried about it, the reason for so much striving with His chosen people all through the OT. Down through the centuries almost all of Israel died apart from God, though He strived long with them, as the Scripture says. He cried out to them in mercy, "for why will you die (spiritual...

It's true, miracles do still happen. I thought it impossible.

Definitely not bored with it, theology has been my interest as far back as I can remember as a child. I don't believe that we sinned with Adam, but I do believe that Christ bore our sins and took the punishment we deserved. I once heard a preacher ask the congregation (I was there) why did...

I didn't know those specific details, I'm continuously learning something here!

The Scripture says we are born in sin, not that we are born sinners. There's a difference.

Lucky me, it could have gone the other way.

That I agree, but an infant child although born in sin, is innocent until they become as Adam and Eve who were innocent and then knowing what they were doing, disobeyed God.

I don't expect you to agree with anything I say. Physical death is the separation of soul from the body. Spiritual death is the separation of the soul from God. When God told Adam he would die if he disobeyed by eating from a certain tree, Adam ate and physically died almost a century...

When Paul said that he said that he spoke by permission and not by commandment. It was Paul's personal opinion, and it appears by the Holy Spirit giving him that permission He considered it good advise.

Will I find the narrow gate if I disagree with you, BF?

Here's the God I know and serve, and He's very much misunderstood by a certain group. Isaiah 1:18-20 "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing...

Whatever you say. I've learned that is the only way.

Ok, I see, if I disagree with you guys the narrow gate is not available for me.

I should have known better that to disagree with you, @Zaatar71.

Just your view of it.

Why is it that the overwhelming majority of believers disagree with you, BF? Why is your view such a small group in Christianity?

I see nothing beautiful in a doctrine that teaches God gathering a select group and leaving the rest in their sinful condition without reaching out to them. In fact, it's down right ugly!

That is very much correct, Van! If I'm reading you correctly. All through the Old Testament Scripture the Gentiles were grafted into Covenant with Israel, those who believed in the God of Israel. It's no different in the New Testament with us Gentiles being grafted into their New Covenant...

Col. 1:26-28 "Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every...
