ok. You're fun. "Ever and anon" means literally ever and soon. It's just (after a decade of that)...starting to bore everyone. Get another catchphrase. It was charming for about 3 years.

NO. That idea is a Gnostic heresy. It was historically condemned 1600-ish years ago............. That is, to whatever extent you care about the "historically condemned"... which I don't.

Probably, and I'd love to discuss it with you. I put your question in italics because that's what I'm keying in on. I have a guess: It was the Holy Spirit. I would assert three things in answer to your question: 1.) I don't have to discover an answer to that question.....because I am not...

That idea is non-sense. It is un-biblical. Also, it is arguably....heresy. Truly, I would argue that it is an historically condemned heresy.

Yeah...you are still not really worth responding to. Also...do you realize that the phrase "ever and anon" means "ever and soon"? Temporally speaking, while poetic....it's a non-sensical phrase: "Ever and soon"...means nothing. That's one of the reasons I kinda' tend to ignore you. You think...

I appreciate your reply... I respect it, even though, I do not quite agree. I see nothing in Scripture that says we inherit any predisposition towards any "nature". Now, it is obvious (simply by observation) that mankind seems to be inclined towards evil. This is accepted by the Atheist (and...

Precisely!!!! That is the Achilles heel of Calvinism. If humans, (babies specifically) are born with a curse upon them which they inherited from their parentage which renders them guilty of Adam's sin, or, incapable of doing that which is right, and it was God's choice to curse them in that...

Thanks :)

Where in the Bible is that taught???? Nowhere: The Bible is clear, the serpent was cursed The ground was cursed. Adam was never cursed. Also, Adam made no Covenant with God, but that really isn't important. God gave Adam a rule and Adam broke it. That is precisely what Jesus experienced. Adam...

Not just the "ideas" behind them. Hi Dave, thanks for your response. Sure he does, that is never at issue. What is at issue is whether his plans were cruel or unjust. Of course. But, if he were vicious capricious and cruel and his intentions were also then that is something worth noticing...

1.) Adam indeed chose. 2.) Adam "caused" us to do nothing....except to die 3.) We all "die" because of Adam 4.) Even Jesus "died" 5.) Jesus did NOT escape the fate of Adam..........he was the second Adam 6.) But, Jesus still died, because he was a man, like all other men. 7.) But, Jesus was...

No, despite your crudeness.... I'm quite accurate. Stop boring people with your pithy quips and quotes. They were never as charming as you thought they were,

Yes, they assert almost exactly that. Either educate yourself, or stop posting.

"Sin" is not a concrete thing with causal effects in the Universe. It is neither "created" or "uncreated" . I realize that it is a noun (as far as parts of speech are concerned) but so also is the number "2". The number "2" is neither "created" or "uncreated" either......and also stands in no...

Many would have. There's an entire book which seems to have escaped your notice called the book of Acts. Many Apostles battled on that very issue over and over. That is an ignorant statement. You continually betray your ignorance of the Scriptures the more you post.

Spurgeon was wrong. That idea is unbiblical.

That God creates damned children, infected with a disease he subsequently hates them for possessing, and then tortures them forever because, in his "Sovereignty" he decided that that is what he wants to do with them. It's the most demonic, stupid and evil doctrine I can conceive of.

I do not... The very fact that you separate Romans 5 and 9 tells me that you aren't reading the text correctly..... they Don't exist independent of one another. They help explain each other, and provide the wider literary context of Paul's intentions. No... I understand that Romans 9 is in the...

Antonios is clearly correct. It is the thrust of the entire passage. It is the cry of Jews who have rejected the gospel FIRST to God's graciously expanding the gospel to the gentiles. Frankly, Romans chapter 9 has little to nothing to do with Cal vs. Arm soteriology. Taking that one verse and...

Precisely where we differ. I see nothing in Scripture which even implies that Adam passed on some inherently corrupted anything. I see no passage which teaches that humans were constitutionally altered in any way post the fall. I used to believe that, and I understand why many/most still do...
