Yes the secret things belong to God but the means of salvation is not a secret is it Ken. Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. Eph 1:13 In Him, you also, after listening to the...

That is you reading into the text something that is not there. Adam brought sin and death into the world. And if you would actually believe what God said in Gen 3:17-19 then you would see that it is death that was passed ion not sin. We are judged for our own sins. You still want babies that...

Those that choose to sin just as Adam chose to sin are then sinners, we are not sinners because Adam sinned. Just as we are not saved just because Christ covered our sins at the cross, we have to freely trust in Him to be saved.

Free will does not mean you can stop sinning as we see even with Paul Rom 7:18-20. Free will means we have the ability to choose. But look at the other side, if we have no free will then all the sins that we commit must have been determined for us to commit so by your comment @Marooncat79 you...

That is just your calvinism speaking Ken. What you have just posted is not biblical, as you have put the cart before the horse so to speak.

Still wrong Ken. The bible does not say all men sinned in Adam. That is just you reading something into the text that is not there. We all physically die because Adam sinned. Rom 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the...

Only those that freely trust in Him will be saved Ken. How can babies do that? Rom 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Rom 10:10 For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with...

By your logic Ken since we were all ungodly sinners prior to our trusting in Christ Jesus then all would be saved but that view is universalism. Are you a universalist Ken?

Wrong again Ken. Death is the result of Adam's sin not that we are made sinful via Adam. If your view were correct then since unrepentant sinners suffer in hell then all babies that die will be sent there as they could not repent of your all sin in Adam view. So your saying that Mary was...

What Rom 5:12 shows is that sin entered the world through Adam. If you read Gen 3.17-19 you will see the result of his sin. Death is a consequence of Adam's sin, see Gen 3:19.

You have it backwards Ken. We are regenerated because we have faith in the risen Christ. Joh_4:10 Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God and who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” Rom_6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but...

Correct

Actually we are judged for our own sins not Adams. Just as we are saved when we freely choose to trust in Christ Jesus we are all considered sinners when we freely choose to sin. Eze 18:20 The soul who sins is the one who will die. A son will not bear the iniquity of his father, and a father...

Rom 9:30 What then will we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; Rom 9:31 but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it. Rom 9:32 Why not? Because their pursuit was not by faith, but as if it were by...

Eph 2:1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, Eph 2:2 in which you used to walk when you conformed to the ways of this world and of the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit who is now at work in the sons of disobedience. Eph 2:3 All of us also lived among them at one time...

So your version of God judges man for something that he has no ability to do. Not the God of the bible but He is the god of calvinism it would seem. The Message of Salvation to All Rom 10:8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word...

Do you think being dead in sin means unable to think and respond to the gospel message?

Obviously more than you do.

Only for the calvinist. You have to twist scripture to make the bible fit your odd religion. Check it out for yourself BF. Your philosophy is based on pagan views brought into the church by augustine in the 4th century. Why do you hold to pagan philosophies BF?

But do you not think He has enabled all men to come to Him? If He holds all men responsible for rejecting Him then all men must logically have the ability to repent and believe. Or do you think God does not mean what He says?
