ECT Nang's Boastful Lie

[SaulToPaul 2]

And it's obvious you have no idea of ANY of the meanings for the words you use. Thanks for confirming that.

I'm a big dummy, but thankfully trusting the LORD and being saved is simple.

 

[Right Divider]

Stop shouting at me ... it is against TOL rules of conduct!

So sorry sensitive one. I was just trying to get you to focus on the actual issue, which is your original false claim that you refuse to acknowledge and try to childishly evade.

It is obvious you have received no education in Covenant Theology and have never been taught about the Covenant of Works (aka, the "Old Covenant").

Why would I want to be indoctrinated into a false, man-made vain philosophy like that?

God created Adam under this covenant and being made in God's image, Adam possessed secondary agency to cause and affect his surroundings.

As usual, no scripture to back up your claim. :loser:

Included in this blessing, was the warning from God to use this moral agency by submitting it to His own Sovereign and holy instructions.

According to the Bible? Where?

Adam failed to do so; broke covenant with God, and used his moral agency to oppose Gods commands ("Law/Word").

He certainly disobeyed a direct order, that's for sure.

Gen 2:16-17 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: (17) But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Gen 3:17-19 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; (18) Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; (19) In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
​

It is all there in the scripture I gave you, which if you were truly interested, it should jump-start you into looking further to find the significance and spiritual ramifications of that event.

The original post contained NO scripture references whatsoever and you have failed even remotely attempt to show where those exact details are located in scripture.

But you won't because I think you are intellectually lazy and have little interest in studying the entire bible to find Truth. That is why you erase so much scripture from your attention and consideration.

Another false statement on your part. I always provide accurate and in context scriptural references to anything that I claim and would have referred to the scripture that you provided to support your claim. Unfortunately, there were none provided by you and the ones that you provided later did NOT address your original false claim.

It is easier and much more fun to call me a liar and just stick with a few chapters out of the whole word of God, as suggested to you by MADists, than it is to dig deep.

How about you address the ACTUAL post that you made and prove that you are not a liar. I've read ALL of Genesis and I do not find that the FIRST command the God gave Adam was to love God and others as you falsely claimed that it did.

Either verify your original statement with scripture or admit that you were wrong. Those are you only two options.

Hupostasis is used 5 times in the N.T. It is used once (Heb 1:3) to picture Christ's physical expression of the reality of the Father Who is spirit. The other four times it is used to note the confidence and assurance of, or based upon, something else (4x). It is a noun grammatically, but it is not a literal thing. It is not used in the N.T. as an actual substance in itself - it is always referring to something else.

And this is where we part company for me to understand the ontology of the Gospel instead of it being just methodology.

Hypostasis is most definitely a substance. A literal something, but not a tangible something.

God is a hypostasis. That's a spiritual literality. There is no greater reality than hypostasis. It IS reality of existence.

Hypostasis is not just metaphorical or typological or representational or allegorical. It's intangible spiritual literality.

Jesus Christ wasn't just the express image of some allegorical or metaphorical "nothing" or "somethinglessness" that is God. Jesus was ontologically divine because He was the exact impress of God's hypostasis.

This is why everything begins with Theology Proper. To deny hypostasis as a literal spiritual substance is to deny the existence of God, His attributes, and His action.

And that leaves nothing but naturalism as methodology. Spiritual is more "literal" than natural.

 

[glorydaz]

Yes, Paul's churches went through years of hermeneutics courses and instruction in language before they could ontologically move from hope to real faith.

Yeah, and people like me who were saved while living in a log cabin in the woods had no hope of ever understanding what is written in the Bible. I'm wondering why I ever tried. :think:

No, they knew what he was saying because he spoke and wrote it in Greek for them to understand.

Your intentional ignorance is ignore-ance, being proud of substituting a false understanding from your own language in place of the actual meanings of the words Paul used.

Simple isn't some dumbed-down lowest common denominator. The simplicity is in hearing God's Rhema. You don't know what Rhema is, but Paul and his readers did during that time.

You said faith is a substance. That's what metaphysical cults teach about "faith" in order to harness "faith" as an actual, literal source of power that can by itself make stuff happen. I do not think (or don't want to think) you're even in that ballpark but yours is pretty similar reasoning to theirs.

I cited the five examples of the word from the Bible. None of them are used the way you claim in the Bible. If this is where we part company, then you've chosen the wrong hill to die on because you are wrong.

Heb 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
Heb 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Heb 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Leviticus 13 KJV
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying, 2 When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests: 3 and the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and when the hair in the plague is turned white, and the plague in sight be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean. 4 If the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days: 5 and the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague in his sight be at a stay, and the plague spread not in the skin; then the priest shall shut him up seven days more: 6 and the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague be somewhat dark, and the plague spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is but a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean. 7 But if the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after that he hath been seen of the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen of the priest again: 8 and if the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy.

9 When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest; 10 and the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the rising be white in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick raw flesh in the rising; 11 it is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and shall not shut him up: for he is unclean. 12 And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of him that hath the plague from his head even to his foot, wheresoever the priest looketh; 13 then the priest shall consider: and, behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: it is all turned white: he is clean. 14 But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean. 15 And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean: for the raw flesh is unclean: it is a leprosy. 16 Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall come unto the priest; 17 and the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the plague be turned into white; then the priest shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: he is clean.

18 The flesh also, in which, even in the skin thereof, was a boil, and is healed, 19 and in the place of the boil there be a white rising, or a bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish, and it be shewed to the priest; 20 and if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it be in sight lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white; the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil. 21 But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hairs therein, and if it be not lower than the skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days: 22 and if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague. 23 But if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not, it is a burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

24 Or if there be any flesh, in the skin whereof there is a hot burning, and the quick flesh that burneth have a white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white; 25 then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and it be in sight deeper than the skin; it is a leprosy broken out of the burning: wherefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy. 26 But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower than the other skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days: 27 and the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: and if it be spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy. 28 And if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not in the skin, but it be somewhat dark; it is a rising of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it is an inflammation of the burning.

29 If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the beard; 30 then the priest shall see the plague: and, behold, if it be in sight deeper than the skin; and there be in it a yellow thin hair; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a dry scall, even a leprosy upon the head or beard. 31 And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, it be not in sight deeper than the skin, and that there is no black hair in it; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague of the scall seven days: 32 and in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague: and, behold, if the scall spread not, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the scall be not in sight deeper than the skin; 33 he shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven days more: 34 and in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall: and, behold, if the scall be not spread in the skin, nor be in sight deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean. 35 But if the scall spread much in the skin after his cleansing; 36 then the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he is unclean. 37 But if the scall be in his sight at a stay, and that there is black hair grown up therein; the scall is healed, he is clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

38 If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white bright spots; 39 then the priest shall look: and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be darkish white; it is a freckled spot that groweth in the skin; he is clean.

40 And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean. 41 And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald: yet is he clean. 42 And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish sore; it is a leprosy sprung up in his bald head, or his bald forehead. 43 Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the rising of the sore be white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the leprosy appeareth in the skin of the flesh; 44 he is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in his head.

45 And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean. 46 All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his habitation be.

47 The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment; 48 whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin; 49 and if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a plague of leprosy, and shall be shewed unto the priest: 50 and the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up it that hath the plague seven days: 51 and he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague be spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin, or in any work that is made of skin; the plague is a fretting leprosy; it is unclean. 52 He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woollen or in linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire. 53 And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; 54 then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more: 55 and the priest shall look on the plague, after that it is washed: and, behold, if the plague have not changed his colour, and the plague be not spread; it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it is fret inward, whether it be bare within or without. 56 And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague be somewhat dark after the washing of it; then he shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof: 57 and if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a spreading plague: thou shalt burn that wherein the plague is with fire. 58 And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatsoever thing of skin it be, which thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and shall be clean. 59 This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woollen or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or any thing of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.


So there.

Sorry, I just can't help it. :rotfl:

It's okay. You're free to scoff at God's hypostasis, the hypostasis of faith, and your own untranslated hypostasis.

It's your privilege to laugh at whatever you wish, even if it's in utter ignorance of truth.

That's too bad, Johnny . . . what are you going to do on Judgment Day without an Advocate representing you before God?

That's too bad, nastie Naggie witchiepoo, that you are clueless what the term "High Priest" means, you child of the devil, as you merely glance at the bible, as your authority is your "the church" SOF, you loser.


Sinners need a Saviour, a High Priest, not an advocate. The Lord Jesus Christ is only an advocate for God the Father's children.

Of course, you are lost, so you need a High Priest, witchiepoo.

And who told you my name is "Johnny," you disgusting troll? Your silly Willy boy husband, evil "lady?" Yes...

Sap. Poser. Even you know it.

Wow, are you saying God is not able to speak to us through His word so that we can understand Him? I call that a complete lack of faith in God. Perhaps you should pray about that. You have not because you ask not. You look to your own feeble understanding and call it the power of God. Not good.

Saved by hope. Hope isn't faith.

Why are you trying to move people away from the hope of the gospel?
