Nor would we have been made in God’s image.

Does He “permit” a decision before the maker of that decision exists?

This is key to this conversation!!!

I guess I need some clarification from you. I thought all of us are saved by the death of Christ. He took our place on the cross we deserved, and as He died, He cried, “It is finished!” Was there more to be done?

Are you saying there are some people God wants to walk in sin?

Those verses don’t say anything about God creating time.

Which one would you have me confess? The 1644 version, or the “more correct” one from 1646? “The first edition was published in 1644. This second edition "corrected and enlarged" was originally published in 1646.” Am I only a proper baptist if holding to the latter? And what about the “second”...

How would one verify that he has been saved from death, the wages of sin? Wouldn’t it be by either avoiding death or by reversing death? The first is described in 1 Thess 4:17. And isn’t the second what is described in Rev 20:12-13, among other places? This is implicitly described as a 2nd...

Is it more grievous to sin against a command of God than it is to sin against His eternal holiness?

That is a good scripture to quote for this topic. But what does it mean to be in the heart of the earth? Ps 139:15 might give us a clue: 15My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. David seems to be talking about the...

I don’t understand your question. Are you saying Trump doesn’t have the authority to pardon?

An “autonomous zone” is declaring itself not under any authority, city, state, or country. But that area is a part of all 3, city, state, and country. The mayor, the governor, and the president all have a responsibility to protect the citizens of that area from usurpers of authority.

My bible never says “Paradise is part of Hades.” Which one are you studying?

I thought Jesus was dead for three days--and in the grave.
