Here are some thoughts about the definition of sin ... It is a noun and a verb which makes sin a thing or a state as well as it bein something performed. Therefore we can transgress against a divine law by rebelling and doing wrong behaviors, but there also the nuance of our being in a state...

Remember, even Cain, who killed his brother, was told by the Creator, "Don't you know if you do well, you will be accepted?" People have a chance to make Jesus their Lord in this world and be accepted. God is the ultimate judge of who is saved even of you and me ... He sees right through us and...

Out of nowhere comes my good friend JudgeRighty to say hello. I can tell he especially likes to tune in to my posts. Have a good day tomorrow.

Why do people sound so angry on TOL lately. I probably don't agree with ttruscott about how all babies go to heaven but I don't mock him/her ... or ridicule either. Come on. There are only a few examples which give us any ideas to form a solid opinion. If you have many, please share them with...

Jesus was a Jew talking to a Jew about the New Covenant. Part of which is being born again. It is a Christian concept and it is available for Jews as well. It is through Christ mankind is saved and it is the gift of the Spirit that holds us unto that end. I did show you where Jesus was talking...

I do believe in what I saw in a scripture once ... God has 'barns' for storing things like wheat etc. I happen to believe that verse meant storing humans and angels until the times are fulfilled. Now, due to how God confused the language of the world by making it many language it seems we get...

Jesus was speaking to Nicodemus about being born again. Jn. 3:3-5 That is a Christian concept. Yes, Nicodemus was a circumcised Jew but Jesus's remarks to him was all about the new covenant and how to receive salvation through Jesus. Jn. 3:14-21 is all about becoming born again - a new creature...

Interesting.

Jn. 3:18 is talking about whether people believe or not. If they believe in Christ they will be among those who are not condemned. If they don't they will be condemned. The verse refers back to the concept of being born again. Jesus specifically says this: Verse 3b "Except a man be born again...

I agree they were spirits (male female spirits). I hope to see, ttruscott, if we agree on more. I don't believe they were yet equipped to function in their destiny. They were not completed souls in Gen. 1. They became that when their spirits were added to their body in Gen. 2. Why must it...

I understand some people on TOL are not happy with my repeated references to Psalm 82 but for me it was a great key for opening understanding of how God is working among men and angels. Pretty much everyone accepts that 1/3 of the angels rebelled with Lucifer. Mankind rebelled in the Garden; so...

Yet ... American citizens keep putting them in office. Our government is sick because our people are sick ... OR ... there is CHEATING!!!

Yep, things are coming to light. A scary crisis can be very useful when vindictive people learn how to use them and even create them. We will just have to wait to see what sticks. I love having a justice system and pray that truth and justice is done there.

I like how you are questioning and seeking. I'm always asking questions. Few thoughts of mine regarding your statement above. I do believe humanity was first created spirit. But by created I do not mean manifested. I think more like conception of a baby in the womb of God. They existed without...

Well, this [post 76] seemed to have wandered from the topic a bit but I have read all the posts. Maybe it has not. But it is a favorite topic of mine; so, I'm going give my rendition of what I see in scripture regarding God's design for spiritual mankind and his original body. I will tell you...

You have asked for my thinking/opinion so here goes. Siri says the definition of symbology is the use of symbols. a method used often for the unschooled. Well, I would consider that to be a close synonym for what I call symbolic figurative language such as personification, metaphors, similes...

Written words don't match audible words ... but funny. Yet, I prefer a song more like this: No body likes me. Everybody hates me. Think I'll go eat worms. Big fat juicy ones. Little tiny tiny ones. Oh, how they wiggly and squirm. Bite their heads off. Suck their juice out. Throw their skins...

But individuals still have free will to do what they want... whether they are a believer or not. Sure, God will do justice to those who offend and take revenge some day, but until then people have a free will. Believers/followers should be listening for the Holy Spirit to guide them, but even...

Love your puppet. So cute. That's me, without the cigarette, when my little grandson has hit his sister again.

Hello Derf. I look at how people, things and events which happen here on earth are often used of God as allegories rather than being simulations. They weave truths about God for us to discover. They mirror and may even predict future events or give clues as to the promised Messiah. The actual...
