    Dying Spiritually

    Correct....some try and blur the line...saying Adam was created A natural man. They Go to Paul speaking of resurrection of the body in first Cor.15. They do not go to Paul when Paul says the natural man cannot believe the things of the Spirit of God however, lol

    Can A Non Calvinist Believe the Gospel of The Kingdom? Is that Even Possible?

    Hello David, Thanks for your civil post, and discourse. As far as labels go I do not run from that label, I just reserve the right to define the term. 5 points yes they are undoubtedly biblical. Total Depravity properly understanding the fall into sin and death, shows the biblical necessity for...

    Can Non Calvinists Believe the Gospel Of The Kingdom? Is that Even Possible?

    Yes. This is a fair summary statement that points to the fatal flaws in their understanding. That is why they repeat the same worn out objections. Many just invent ideas that make no real sense to anyone , but it let;s them feel the slayed the Calvinist Dragon.

    Can Non Calvinists Believe the Gospel Of The Kingdom? Is that Even Possible?

    I like the God centered Biblical message. Not the false man centered one you offer. I never disagree with scripture. you keep accusing me and the other brethren? Your opinion is noted, but as it is a false accusation, it has no credibility, You accuse once again. No, Each person will be...

    Can Non Calvinists Believe the Gospel Of The Kingdom? Is that Even Possible?

    But you did cherry pick the verses as you do often...I will show you! You did not really identify who? men are justified by faith, never because of faith as you suggest! Yes, but you think men have that faith by themself, apart from God! I believe scripture is clear it is a gift! I did not...

    Can Non Calvinists Believe the Gospel Of The Kingdom? Is that Even Possible?

    Thanks for starting a response. What I mean is, I want you to go over the passage verse by verse. Do not cherry pick the verses and skip through it!...Who has peace with God? Do all men ever born have peace with God? If you look at my post, I did not ship verse, one, or any other verse. I deny...

    Can A Non Calvinist Believe the Gospel of The Kingdom? Is that Even Possible?

    Okay. You offer a good caution. All of the solid confessions of Faith that are Calvinistic start by listing scripture as the only rule of faith and practice. In practice, it is possible that people shift in an unbalanced way. I have been in classes where a strong caution is offered. It is not...

    Can Non Calvinists Believe the Gospel Of The Kingdom? Is that Even Possible?

    Silverhair, I went back and found this post. I took time to go verse by verse in Romans5:1-11. I state my belief clearly, I am asking you to go through these same verses, and offer your understanding. Romans5 Is speaking only of the Elect. You normally do not pay attention to the context, but...

    Dying Spiritually

    That the Scriptures favor dichotomy will appear by considering: (a) The record of man’s creation ( <010207>Genesis 2:7), in which, as a result of the in-breathing of the divine Spirit, the body becomes possessed and vitalized by a single principle — the living soul. <010207> Genesis 2:7 — “And...

    Dying Spiritually

    (1.) That this corruption of nature affects the whole soul. (2.) That it consists in the loss or absence of original righteousness, and consequent entire moral depravity of our nature, including or manifesting itself in an aversion from all spiritual good, or from God, and an inclination to...

    Dying Spiritually

    Moreover we ought to bear in mind the following Scriptural data: (1) Man was created in the image of God and this, in view of the perfect condition in which the image of God existed originally, would seem to exclude the possibility of his carrying within him the seeds of dissolution and...

    Dying Spiritually

    2. THE BIBLE CLEARLY TEACHES IT. There are direct statements of Scripture that point to the universal sinfulness of man, such as I Kings 8:46; Ps. 143:2; Prov. 20:9; Eccl. 7:20; Rom. 3:1-12,19,20,23; Gal. 3:22; Jas. 3:2; I John 1:8,10. Several passages of Scripture teach that sin is the...

    Dying Spiritually

    Adam in his original creation, pre fall was not created a natural man only. To read back from 1 Cor 15, is to take Paul wrong. Some fabricate their own ideas on this. Matthew Henry; 2.

    Dying Spiritually

    And breathed into his nostrils [114] Whatever the greater part of the ancients might think, I do not hesitate to subscribe to the opinion of those who explain this passage of the animal life of man; and thus I expound what they call the vital spirits by the word breath. Should any one object...

    Dying Spiritually

    From The Bible fulfilled; Many Christians believe that the penalty for Adam and Eve eating the “forbidden fruit” from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil—a.k.a. the Fall—was physical death (Gen. 2:17). Therefore, physical death must one day be overcome so that things will be restored to...
