No Sir, I do not claim anyone was made a sinner especially if made is to mean created. ImCo: I contend that every person created in the image of GOD was created with a free will and the equal ability and opportunity to choose to either become holy by putting their faith, their unproven hope, in...

Off the top: Job 38:7 ...while the morning stars sang together and all the sons of GOD shouted for joy? If one is a son of GOD then he was there witnessing the creation and singing his heart out!!! This and the hints that Adam and Eve were sinners in the garden are a good start... I have...

I would mark this essay as a winner if such an emoji was used here. But I disagree with your conclusion that that being born of the Holy Spirit happened at conception and then again at our rebirth. I place our first birth in the Spirit as at our creation before the creation of the physical...

Have you considered: Deuteronomy 32:5 “They have corrupted themselves; They are not His children because of their blemish but a perverse and crooked generation. OR their blemish is that they are not HIS children. World English Bible They have dealt corruptly with him, [they are] not his...

I've studied the writing of folk with your pov since the mid 1970s. I have discounted them as based upon secular interpretations, not the Spirit. Yet still, the questions I bring up are never discussed nor are the interpretations of the verses I use for my pov ever discussed...you seem to be...

Is cherry picker the new term to deny that a verse can be interpreted as against your view?

Your statement denies 1 Peter 2:25 For "you were like sheep going astray," but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. in which all converts to Christ are called sheep. And it is off topic.

His sheep are all His elect. His sheep gone astray are all His rebellious sheep that are born as sinful humans - nothing to do with any nation or ethnicity at all. We don't need to define this any deeper to propose an answer to how, why and when they went astray. Two pages of obfuscation and...

No I must not...that is YOUR trip into dispensationalism not mine. This is about the injustice of inherited sin, not who is Israel or a Gentile. ALL HIS sheep are gone astray no matter who they are! All must be returned to their Bishop and Redeemer. How / when did they go astray?? Please...

Are not the wicked nations lost, those who turn their back on HIM, forgetting HIM and who return to Sheol on their death? Ps 9:17 The wicked do turn back / return to Sheol, All nations forgetting God. And does not Peter refer to new converts as sheep in 1 Peter 2:25 For "you were like sheep...

Prove that these spirits who were created in HIS image never became born as humans. Job 38:7 while the morning stars sang together and ALL the Sons of GOD shouted for joy? uses the worlds bene elohim, not mal'ach. What is your proof that your eisegesis of changing Sons of GOD to angel is proper?

Everyone created was a Son of GOD and they all saw the creation of the physical universe: Job 38:7 while the morning stars sang together and ALL the Sons of GOD shouted for joy? In this place, Sons of GOD is often translated as angels, a bit of a "slight of eisegesis" as they don't want anyone...

Everyone does this, me and thee. The flim flam of exegesis is that for anyone to get the meaning of a verse from the verse without any input from their mindset and unfiltered by existing ideas is on the order of Paul's conversion as a bright light and hearing GOD's voice. Every interpretation...

I suggest that image has nothing to do with physical appearance but to the fact that HE created us as persons with all the attributes of personhood. HE made us this way so we could enter into a full emotional and intellectual communion with HIM in the perfect marriage. No one accepts a marriage...

The verses that tell us what we know about this situation are in Rev 12:3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: a huge red dragon with seven heads, ten horns, and seven royal crowns on his heads. 4 His tail swept a third of the stars from the sky, tossing them to the earth. and 7 Then a war...

My problem with GOD knowing everything that can be known before HE create anything is from 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. All HE had to...

You have your eisegesis, I have mine. That yours contradicts mine is NOT PROOF that I am wrong...it is only support for your thinking that I am wrong. I have considered yours all my life and rejected it as leading to blasphemy. You may note that nowhere in the Bible is there any statement that...

And Jesus called sinners good seed in the parable of the tares when none are good, not one. It is obvious that the terms innocent and good etc are not definitive but conform to context.

Peter calls Christians sheep in an allusion to the Jews being called sheep by Isaiah: 1 Peter 2:25 For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have RETURNED to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. Well,TO RETURN, one must have been there before, at least, according to the normal...

How did His sheep get lost? 1. The fault was in the Shepherd...He sent them as corrupt out into the world (Matt 13:36-39) to take their chances in the evil world. 2. The fault is in the Shepherd's enemy, the wolf in serpent's clothing dragged the sheep off and He could not or decided to not...
