Yes, I do.You do not.
Adam opposed God by defying His command. That as the sin that brought death to all men.Sin brought death to all men, making all men independent of the life of God.
Adam chose to be independent of God BEFORE he defied His command.Adam opposed God by defying His command. That as the sin that brought death to all men.
And that "choosing to be independent of God" was OPPOSITION to God.Adam chose to be independent of God BEFORE he defied His command.
DuhWhatever is not of faith is sin.
You're making things up. I never said any such thing.That is a far cry from your example of opposition, which was to law.
Did Cain know it was "opposition to God" to slay his brother?You're making things up. I never said any such thing.
I cannot read Cain's mind, but I would certainly hope so.Did Cain know it was "opposition to God" to slay his brother?
How would he know?I cannot read Cain's mind, but I would certainly hope so.
You're off on rabbit trails. I have better things to do with my time.How would he know?
I agree. Your time is better spent discussing things you understand.I have better things to do with my time.
Does it not?You said that "murder opposes God".
Your silly arrogance is duly note.I agree. Your time is better spent discussing things you understand.
Sin is in the world, irrespective of man's knowledge. The Law was brought in to reveal it. You don't know if Cain knew that it was "opposition to God" to slay his brother. I contend that Cain sinned because he is a sinner. Can slew his brother BECAUSE he was a slave to sin. Abel was a slave to sin also, but he chose to believe God. You agreed that it's about faith, and not about behavior, that defines sin, and while unbelief is "opposition to God", all men are sinners because one man chose independence. I accept your "opposition of God" definition, only in light of unbelief, not in light of law. You chose the latter.Does it not?
DuhSin is in the world, irrespective of man's knowledge.
DuhThe Law was brought in to reveal it.
I never said any such thing. Zealots like you see what they want to see.You don't know if Cain knew that it was "opposition to God" to slay his brother.
Good for you.I contend that Cain sinned because he is a sinner.
OkCan slew his brother BECAUSE he was a slave to sin. Abel was a slave to sin also, but he chose to believe God.
Sin always starts in the mind of a man and not in his hands or feet.You agreed that it's about faith, and not about behavior, that defines sin, and while unbelief is "opposition to God", all men are sinners because one man chose independence.
You continue to make up things about what I say (i.e., you lie).I accept your "opposition of God" definition, only in light of unbelief, not in light of law. You chose the latter.
