Throughout the Bible, Israel is described as God's bride/wife, and then also as an adulteress, an unfaithful wife, whom God divorces (heck, the entire book of Lamentations is a certificate of divorce (which was required by the Mosaic to be given by the husband to the woman he was divorcing)...

He literally says "the law kills", GD! And then he contrasts that by saying "the Spirit gives life"! That's rather explicit! I've pointed out before, either in this thread or another, that the authors of the Bible were VERY careful in how they worded what they said. Which is referring to...

If you're hear just to take potshots at members of this forum, let alone staff, then just leave now. I'm angry because I've spent the past how many pages of this thread making SOUND, LOGICAL ARGUMENTS, BACKED UP BY SCRIPTURE no less, and all he's done is simply repeat himself over and over...

This is bearing false witness, you liar! I have NEVER said contradict scripture with another scripture. SCRIPTURE IS CONSISTENT WITH ITSELF! The only thing that is contradictory here is YOUR INTERPRETATION OF SCRIPTURE with the REST of Scripture! APOLOGISE for bearing false witness against...

Talk about missing the forest for the trees!!!

Haha, that's funny, you think I'm referring to the rest of the verse! Hahahaha! NO YOU IDIOT! I'M TALKING ABOUT THE ENTIRE CHAPTER AND EVEN THE ENTIRE REST OF THE BIBLE YOU DOLT!

Forgot to address this: The word "surely" isn't in the original Hebrew text. The phrase used (as pointed out previously) is "dying you shall die."

It has everything to do with being dead spiritually. Because the law kills, but the Spirit gives life. I would have thought you would have recognized some of the passages I was referring to, GD. See the link below. Yes, I did. Spiritual deadness is by choice. But we can CHOOSE to come...

Verse 6 has God saying "I change not" in His righteous character and His commitment to keep His promises. The next verse has God saying if Israel returns to Him, He will return to them. That's a change. So either God contradicted Himself, or "I change not" is not meant to be taken woodenly...

Derf is saying to believe God, too, LN. The difference is that he's telling you look at the context instead of just isolating 3 words out of a verse to found your doctrine on. So do we. Which doesn't tell the entire story. The context adds important information that you're intentionally...

When we sin, we are separated from God. "I was alive once without the law. But when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died." It has nothing or very little to do with whether God can call out to us after we are separated from Him. Someone who rejects the gospel is just as spiritually...

False dichotomy. The alternative is that God is saying that He does not change in a certain way, but that certain way does not include the change of speaking. The CONTEXT of the verse shows us just that. Still a false dichotomy. The alternative is that God DOES change, but not in the way...

No. God saying "I change not" is not God saying "I don't change in any way whatsoever." Stop ignoring the context of the verse.

No one has changed the context of scripture, LN. You're just ignoring it completely.

Hypocrite! All of our arguments so far have included the context of the scripture we've posted. This is called a genetic fallacy. It's a fallacy for a reason. Which is exactly why the source of something isn't relevant at all to whether something is true or not. Thus, genetic fallacy.

And yet, I gave you TWO instances in scripture where separation was how "death" was intended. If I hadn't done that, then you might have a point. You just get done telling me about how long our English language has existed, then immediately go into the grammar of the English version of the...

https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/dearly+departed Not a "redefinition" at all. My definition is consistent with how we speak of death, how Paul spoke ("absent" from the body), and with what happened in Genesis 3, where God kicked man out of the garden in the day [the very same one] that he...

🤮

Except that God doesn't just say "I change not." He says it in the context of His righteous character and His commitment to His promises. That should tell you something. Speaking is inherently a change. First God wasn't speaking, then He spoke, then He ceased speaking. He said, in order...

What you did was called "prooftexting." You ripped a verse, no, a phrase from a verse out of context, and you demand that it supports your position, and I'm telling you that that won't fly for an argument. I fully grasp what God said. He doesn't say "I do not change at all."
