Original Sin??? #1

[The Biblicist]

Putting it in red doesn't change the sentence structure. It still says it. Maybe you didn't mean it, as your extrabiblical explanation tries to show, but it says it regardless.

Do you see the words "the fallen nature" in that sentence? Do you think my use of "the flesh" is contrary to what I mean by "the fallen nature"? Do you think by "the fallen nature" I am not talking about the "law of sin" in its relationship to the physical body and its cravings???? Use some common sense rather than just seeking to invent things I never intended and any objective consideration of that sentence would show I never intended. However, you know what I meant better than what I do, even though I am the one who said it. So readers, webdog is the final authority on the MEANING of my words rather than me.

No insult or ridicule there. When you start the "if you disagree with me you disagree with God" and "you don't agree with me you reject biblical truth" garbage, you employ a sophomoric fallacy. Truth, not insult.

Ok, then you are "blind as a bat" and that is no insult or ridicule but simply fact. That is a metaphor for inability to grasp what is being said and that is simply a fact.

Who are "we"? Like I said already, the Bible uses the phrase to refer to the lost. Explain it away until you are blue in the face, it doesn't phase me. I'll take the biblical definition. At any rate, due to your deterministic soteriology, you need to take it up with God regardless as it has been decreed for me to believe as I do.

Perhaps you can cite the verse where the words "blind as a bat" are found in Scripture???? I will be waiting!
