You could prove me wrong…

I have no idea what you’re talking about, and I suspect you don’t either.

How are you checking the distances? “Exact time” means you need to transfer time. Back to the other problem.

“At the same time” is where you get into trouble, sneaking in the 2-way speed of light. Time transfer involves getting the time info at one clock to the other one (or both to a third location), and so that requires sending information at the speed of light or something related to it. Plus...

You just can’t be sure which category you’re in until judgment day. Are you foreknown? Or never known? The never-knowns all thought they were foreknowns, until they were judged.

But if they are responsible for their own sins, they must not have been forgiven of them. Yet vs 28 says all sins shall be forgiven, with vs 29 the only caveat.

Well, it’s at least taught in the scripture I cited. I don’t think I said anything in my post that is contradictory to that. Maybe I didn’t say it very clearly. Maybe it would help if I equated “propensity to sin” with “fallen nature”. And “God’s people” with the Israelites that came out of...

Can you start us out with a synopsis and a website?

Because He was focusing on the more important sin of rejecting the Holy Spirit’s prompting, which is <eventually> unforgivable.

What is the penalty for sin? Death. What will happen to every person? Death (Enoch and Elijah might be deferred). Thus every person is born with a sentence of death that has to be set aside in some way—except Jesus. He is also the only one after Adam and Eve without a human father. Therefore it...

God can do a lot of things He doesn’t tell us about. But if we assume He does them, we’re outside of His revealed truth. Studying the Bible for 50 years doesn’t allow us to make up stuff about God.

And pink elephants can fly.

Then you agree that there are no flying pink elephants in the gospel—and you know that because scripture tells us nothing about flying pink elephants in the gospel. That’s great! Now apply that same mode of thinking to your posts—and be careful not to add to scripture by saying Adam was indwelt...

You mean some gospel you made up and stand by because the Bible doesn’t mention it positively or negatively? Like pink elephants flying? Maybe you can refute flying pink elephants from scripture. Otherwise it must be part of the gospel, right?

As have I. But we’re supposed to be ready to give an answer for the hope that is within us. Where does this answer come from? How do you try the spirits? Aren’t both from the scriptures?

Keep in mind, @Robert Pate, that I disagree with @Right Divider on a number of things. I don’t think his style is any more or less childish than yours. But if you use the absence of evidence as positive affirmation, there’s no way you’ll end up with proper doctrine. Even in disagreement, I can...

What you’re saying is that as long as scripture doesn’t specifically deny something, then that something is true. What @Right Divider is saying is that if scripture doesn’t specifically support something, that something may be false. Here’s an example: “pink elephants can fly.” With your...

You’re beyond what scripture says, and into false doctrine.

Then why couldn’t man be the same—created good, and then became evil? Why would man need to be filled with Satan’s spirit from birth to be evil?

Whose sinful nature did Satan inherit?
