But it doesn't say whose sin, and it doesn't say the wages of guilt is death. Adam started something--not sin, but death: Romans 5:12-14 KJV — Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so DEATH passed upon all men, (not sin) for that all have sinned: (For until...

Who says? Except if you are "in your father's (or earlier ancestor's) loins" when they sin, then the death they merit is applied to you, because death is final (before Christ, that is), and if a dead man has a child, he can't have a live child. Adam was guaranteed death when he ate the fruit...

They weren't sinning in the womb, neither had they done anything to merit or lose God's favor by this time in their lives (including in some pre-existence. We know these facts from Paul: Romans 9:11 KJV — (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the...

"gary indiana not having power is an amazing story of diversity >entire city council is black >every electric company executive is black >black residents can’t stop shooting at vehicles working to restore power and they all blame racism for going without power for so long"...

Well, if someone claimed that 9/11 was a hoax, it wouldn't mean they thought it didn't happen--i.e., that buildings weren't destroyed with thousands of people in them--anymore than claiming JFK'S assassination being a plot by the government meant that it JFK wasn't really dead. Use your brain...

:(:ROFLMAO: Couldn't figure out how to mark it both sad and funny, so you got a wow on the post, and sad and funny here.

Do you tell everyone that you encounter your name, birthday, social security number, and mother's maiden name? Is it deceitful to withhold that information?

You are complaining about his insults? Well, doesn't that just beat all!

Why is it that you end all of your conversations this way? Do you think it lends weight to your position call everyone else imbeciles? What it does is show the limits of your capacity to communicate. Do better Clete. I know you can.

Did anyone say it wasnt real? Or just that it wasnt what it appeared to be?

Why did they need a savior before they rebelled? Same question on Col 1:23. Why did they need the gospel of salvation before they rebelled?

Which proclamation do you mean? About dying from eating of the tree of knowledge? Yes, that would make sense...if God lies and if lying is evil, then God must be evil. I'm not so sure that it then follows that such a God would be false...depends on what "god" means to them. You don't think...

There's only one passage that references this event, in the least understood book of the bible. It could be that they didn't rebel, but were under Lucifer's headship, so they didn't have a choice. Of course, if we're in a simulated reality, who's to say which creatures are simulations. Maybe...

Yes Yes Yes Yes. I don't see that logically connected. Why do you say this? ?? What proof are you talking about? Why do you think Satan rebelled before he committed his act of rebellion? What you are proposing contradicts scripture. Or against the God who made him? Why the emphasis on...

I don't see any evidence of this in the text. We aren't given the serpent's intention prior to the temptation narrative. So no, there's no proof there that sin already existed. He wasn't Or, and this is important, that the serpent/Lucifer was not evil at the time God declared everything good...
