You did good, Mike, up to about verse 14. If I could offer my commentary. In verse 15 Adam thrust the many/all people into death without their permission. 😔 In the same way God’s grace super abounded to the same many/all people without their permission.😃 Remember God‘s grace is not impotent Titus 2:11-12. This proves the receiving in verse 17 is passive in the sense that God brings it about in the many/all people just like the first sin brought about death in the many/all people and then verse 18,19,20 just mean what they say.

One I was far from my Saviour and King, Now he has taught me his mercy to sing; Peace in believing he giveth to me: Oh, I am happy as mortal can be. [Refrain] Trusting in Jesus, oh, what should I fear? Nothing can harm me when he is so near! Sweet is the promise he giveth to me: Oh, I am happy as mortal can be.

What is your concept of love for her? Many of us love based on our view of how we should love or want to love. And that builds an expectation for many because it is unconsciously a sense of exchange. I love you this way and somehow, you should love me the same way? And failure to reach that sense of expectation and anticipation, I become jealous of perhaps who or what else is taking your attention from me. Loving another is about that person. That one love another totally and will be happy as long as that person is happy. First. This approach took me much time to understand. Just like how God loves us even though we are ungodly and sinners. He FIRST loved us when we do not even deserve Him. Same thing. But we will never get close to God’s level of love for us though we are to love one another as He has loved us.

The death of the body usually precedes but is not the same as the death of the soul (i.e. complete and total annihilation) . We tend to confuse both but they can’t be more different since the death of the body is rectifiable but the death of the soul is final…

To clarify the muddy Mormon doctrine- "For we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do." (2 Nephi 25:23 from the Book of Mormon) I never experienced a genuine, gut wretching, at loss for words, hands in the air, crying praises to His name kind of gratitude for Jesus' sacrifice until I left Mormonism. Mormons believe that EVERYONE, except those who deny the Holy Spirit, are (after a period of purgatory called "spirit prison") sent to a Kingdom of Heaven so great that you would allegedly kill yourself to get there. Yes, even serial killers. Yes, even child rapists. So if you're wondering why Mormons sometimes struggle to understand the need for the Sacrifice, that's why. 😕

Where does it say that we inherited Adam’s sin nature? I’m trying to figure this out. Does the Bible state this or is it just assumed because he sinned and death entered the world and we have sin and death throughout human history that it is all on Adam? Thanks Mike

[@dahliaherrod4301]

If you read Romans 5:11-21, the bible does discuss it

[@BrandonLewisD]

I personally do not hold to the doctrine that we inherit a sinful nature. We sin for the same reason Eve sinned in Genesis 3:6; freewill, temptation, the Lust of the Flesh, the Lust of the Eyes and the Pride of Life. As James describes in James 1:14-15, we sin because we are tempted and give in to lust. Same thing happened with Eve in Genesis 3:6. _When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate_ Here you have the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life right there in a pre-fall\pre-rebellion world, before there could have even been a such thing as a sin nature. The Bible never says we inherit a sinful nature. It doesn't use anywhere the phrase sin nature, or hamartia and phusis together, not anywhere; yet it's a very popular phrase and doctrine in mainstream Christianity today. Lust's are strong desires of the flesh. Desire for food, drink, sex, are not evil desires but are natural and God given. The question is; How do we chose to satisfy these desires? Do we make idols out of them? Are we disobedient to God in how we satisfy those desires? Romans 7 is not describing the normal Christian life. It's describing someone trying to be righteous by keeping law, but being unable to do so (Saul the Pharisee). Chapter 6 tells us that our old man has been crucified, and we can walk in newness of life. We are to know this, and from now on we should not serve sin. We are dead to sin. We are to reckon this, log it down, stop yielding to sin, and yield to God. If we Christian's make up our minds we want to live for God, then He gives us the power to live it out. We aren't perfect, but Romans 7 is living in bondage, Romans 8 is living in victory. Bottom line is we all need God, Adam and Eve did, and so do we. None of us can make it without Him. May God truly Bless you.

[@howardmanley3388]

I’am I saved ? Or being saved ?

[@krustysurfer]

Pastor Mike my understanding is that Gods law is written upon all of mankind's heart after Pentecost, God loved us so much that salvation is available to all because Jesus died and shed his blood on the cross for everyone unequivocally regardless of race nation creed color or sin universally.(until one chooses to refuse the gift of salvation) I understand its nothing that we do that gets us into heaven, it is what God has done that gets us into heaven. I get that Mike understand and believe that, however, God made us in his likeness in his Image and it was pleasing to God that mankind was Gods ultimate crowning of creation, his very own children. if we are that crowning of creation, his children, then how can God hate his greatest creation completely? (I do not think I could ever hate my children, hate them so completely where I would turn my back on them, let alone create a Hell for them to suffer in for eternity) it is a very hard thing to ponder that sort of hatred, that could God hate us that much... I personally have a hard time pondering that pastor Mike. Now I could see that Mankind might choose to be separated from God like where a child hates their Parents so much they turn away in their hard hardheartedness foolishness pridefullness, and yet God loving us so much still, that he created a way home by dying and shedding his blood for our sins, like the story of the prodigal child where the father always is awaiting for his child to return home and we mankind are those wayward children, that seems understandable to me, but I do not see the father hating his children and sending them off to hell. or does mankind choose hell for himself in his rebellion by refusing Jesus gift his blood shed on the cross for the forgiveness of sins? its really hard to believe that im a POS in the eyes of God, its hard to ponder that, being hated that much by God yet being loved by God... We are taught to Love the sinner and to hate the sin, so likewise God loves us but hates our sin?... this hurts my brain to think and ponder at this level... and definitely causes some low self esteem issues in me. God obviously loves us enough to die on the cross for us, imperfect, and sinful... is there nothing in that? nothing special knowing that God loves us HIS creation enough to die for us that mankind is special enough to deserve Gods love- feeling special like when a child gloats over his parents love, acceptance and approval. it is a great feeling to feel that love. thank you for sharing your wisdom us even though it makes my head heart. Pastor Mike feel free to correct my thinking and understanding I welcome it greatly. God bless you.

[@markwhite5926]

Het James have you got the answer to your question yet?

[@ohmahfoot3995]

It means that they believed that they were entitled to salvation because of their works. Even though they performed great signs and miracles, they missed the point of having faith apart from works. Their hearts had the wrong motives: their own glory rather than the glory of God. One issue I had with this in relation to trying to believe "once saved always saved" is that they seemed to have the Holy Spirit (our seal for salvation) but obviously were not saved. The answer I found was imagining that though their personal motives weren't for the glory of God, that doesn't mean the Holy Spirit didn't through them to bring others to Christ. So though they were not saved themselves, through them, others could've been saved because of the signs and miracles they performed. I myself doubted my salvation because of not understanding this verse. The point is, don't feel any work you perform will merit you salvation. The only path to salvation is through the one work of Jesus Christ. Somebody please correct me if I seem wrong about any of this but I hope this is a blessing to anyone wondering what this verse means.

There are several theories that are compatible with Bible and evolution/genetics that avoid this conclusion, dating back centuries. For a modern take, see S. Joshua Swamidass, Kenneth Kemp and Jon Garvey's work.

[@Glamorista]

@@Louis.R so humans arent from children of Adam and Eve?

[@Louis.R]

@@Glamorista you've completely misunderstood me. All humans today are Adamites. However, it is plausible that Adam was created de novo vis-a-vis his having special or theological, spiritual qualities from God (e.g. the image of God, free will, perfect grace) using existing anthropoid "material", which is to say, out of his (and our) genetic ancestors, which is to say, Adam's biological parents, cousins and even - yes - future daughters-in-law, as his progeny intermix and ultimately dominate the earth, making him (and Eve, endowed with the same special gifts) a universal genealogical ancestor. These anthropoids are human biologically, but not fully human in the sense that the Bible is trying to reveal to us, which is part of our problem of blindness about this, connected to the Fall. This is also a theory consistent with evolution that works from the metaphyisical or divine power first, with nature following. Have a nice day.

[@Glamorista]

@@Louis.R "created de novo vis à vis" what does it mean??

[@Louis.R]

@@Glamorista created "as new", insofar as Adam has radically unique intellectual/spiritual characteristics that the anthropoids, from whom his physical material and basic functionality derives, do not. So although the anthropoids may look exactly like Adam, have the same genes as Adam and can, and probably did, mate with Adam's descendents (that's another debate, the Nephilim/sons of God of Genesis 6), Adam is nevertheless a new creature, a new idea, a new form, a new soul. This is my Aristotlean/Thomist argument for how all evolution works, reversing Darwin's theory of natural accidents - the "accidents" or changes of matter follow the new forms, which first exist immaterially, i.e. in the mind of God.

Rom 5:18. He is wrong about that. How can Jesus be called the new or other adam if He did not have atleast the same effect. Through adam we are all sinners (just like his parabel about parents moving away from one place to another) it was not a choice. Therefore through Jesus we are all saved, it is not a choice. If I payed your debts, it is payed and it does not matter if you accept it or not it is already been payed for. Now all the other versions about punishment is about correcting your thought process. God punishes so that He can correct you. Picture this: if you are owned by a master called death or satan you do as your master tells you to do. Then another master comes along His name is life or Jesus. He pays for you so that you will belong to Him (so you are saved) now you belong to Jesus but your mind is still doing things you've been thought by death/satan. Jesus says you are still a child of satan (in your mind) and I'll have to correct you for it. Now that correcting part is the punishment you find in the bible.
