    Imputation of sin

    I read Numbers 30 Joe. But can you tell me why you asked if I was familiar with it? I have read about King Saul and his battle with the Amalekites but that is in 1 Samuel. Saul there did not follow God's instructions but instead acted according to his own will. sonlite101

    Baptism in Heb 6:1

    I can see that you know baptism of water does not save Rick. But most believers don’t, and they cling to the notion that water baptism does save and that our sins are forgiven at the time of that baptism. To complicate matters, then we have the myriad of standards that those who hold...

    Baptism in Heb 6:1

    Rick, I fully agree with you that under this new covenant of grace that we are under, we have the liberty to participate or not to participate in the rituals of water baptism and communion. I personally have been water baptized twice, once as an infant, and later on by immersion in a...

    Imputation of sin

    Thanks Joe. And yes, I see our Lord is leading us to think along the same lines in understanding the topic you have brought up on this thread. You mentioned Romans 7:5, and I believe all of Chap 7 is very applicable to what we are discussing here. In this chapter Paul is addressing the...

    Imputation of sin

    First Joe, we have to define what "sin" is by God's standards. Sin is anything done by man that challenges God's authority or His sovereignty. Sin is man going against God's "expressed" will (a command or law)and instead man choosing to do as he wills. Therefore, Adam was without sin until...

    Imputation of sin

    Excellent question Bubba. I stopped where I did in quoting Romans because I wanted to stay within the topic of this thread. What I'm going to say belongs in another thread that would cover the extent and efficacy of Christ's atonement. The "all" in the latter part of verse 18 does refer...

    Imputation of sin

    Mondar is correct Joe in saying that there was no law during Abraham's time, therefore Abraham could not be charged with law-breaking. However, Abraham's eventual death did not demonstrate he was a sinner though. What proved that Abraham was a sinner was the fact that he had inherited Adam's...

    Exactly WHAT was it That Paul BELIEVED?

    Paul was speaking here about believing "all things written in the law and the prophets" SPECIFICALLY written about Jesus Christ. The KJV does not highlight the "Way" but the NIV does, and then you can see the context of what Paul is talking about. Acts 24:14 14 However, I admit that I worship...

    The 2nd Trumpet

    Hi vic, thanks for the welcome! :) Though I understand that historically men have followed the pattern you relate in relation to opening scrolls and seals, we know God speaks things into being. Therefore, God doesn’t have to follow that pattern or order for opening scrolls; and in...

    The 2nd Trumpet

    We are more than "ankle deep" into the "tribulation period" DBP. The 6th seal is the only one that remains to be open. Most understand the account of the seals in revelation to cover a period of 7 years. In truth, the seals are an overview of the tribulation man has encountered since he was...
