James 3:12 KJV — Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

Faith is in the "..." on my post.

Why would that change my answer?

If he was already a demon, then sin had already entered the garden and the world, and it wasn't "very good" anymore. But rather, I think, Satan and Adam sinned around the same time.

Wild grapes on a domestic grape vine is bad fruit. Adultery is bad fruit. Covetousness is bad fruit. Jezebel luring people to commit idolatry is bad fruit. Love, joy, peace, patience, goodness...self control is good fruit. Of course, that all takes us back to the idea that a tree can refer to...

He knew based on knowing Peter, searching his heart, not on some preexisting knowledge before the world began.

The first sin wasn't because we were broken.

Not on a fig tree.

Such an honor!

Yes, I think you are correct, but I wasn't the one who brought up Luke 13:6-9. Neither was @yeshuaslavejeff. So all of your topic reentering efforts are likely to be for naught unless you address the primary instigator.

Someone here is, anyway.

He was quoting the verse @Lon referenced. Why is that off topic and out of context?

In other words, if there's no fruit, the tree is cut down. Are you suggesting what "cut down" means? I'm not convinced it is an individual in view, but if it is, it would point to a loss of salvation.

Well, someone might call it love, but only because they were programmed to.

That's not the problem. I own one, but it tends to stay in the garage because I don't trust it to run correctly.

You don't think it is God's will that we don't murder? And isn't that revealed in the bible?

Why is it good news that they must obey the law of Moses, when Paul offers a good news where they do not? Who would be stupid enough to choose that deal, when no one can actually keep the law but the perfect Son of God? Just like Paul looked forward to a future salvation. 1 Thessalonians 5:8-9...

I disagree. I think it's the same kind of faith, the kind that saves apart from works, but that kind of faith always produces works. Abraham was justified by faith, perhaps in the eyes of God, but it is apparent to us that he believed in that he acted on his faith. And perhaps it was apparent to...

My choice? Not if the choice was known ("determined") prior to my existence. Then it was someone else's choice. Open Theism is the only way it is a personal ("my") choice. That's what you get with Open Theism.
