    Are all people infected by sin?

    You may have difficulty making sense of it but that is exactly what the scripture says. I already posted it for you. Exo 8:15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart Exo 8:32 But Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also; Exo 9:12 But the LORD hardened the heart of...

    Are all people infected by sin?

    Yes. My point was that FIRST, Pharaoh hardened his own heart and THEN God hardened it. What I take away from that is that if you repeatedly choose to harden your heart against God's will then God will make your heart even harder so that you might learn from the consequences of your decision...

    Psalms Class 1A Psalms 1-19

    Yes. The beast rules as a usurper. Satan's authority over the world is not legitimate; it was swindled (that seems like a good word) from man whom God had given dominion over the whole earth and all living things. (Gen 1:26)

    Psalms Class 1A Psalms 1-19

    Psalms Class 1A Psalms 1-19 Psalm 1 Psa 1:1-3 The blessings of the Covenant will be given to those who keep the Covenant. ( See: Deut 28:1-14) Everything he does will prosper because he shuns evil and does what is good in the eyes of the Lord. Deu 28:1-2 Now it shall come to pass, if you...

    Are all people infected by sin?

    God does harden the hearts of people who first harden their hearts to His word. In Exodus, Pharaoh demonstrates the paradigm. (Exo 8:15, 32; 9:12) I believe Romans 1 explains the process. Rom 1:18-25 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of...

    [__ Science __ ] A very long Wednesday... Young Earth and Old Universe Creationism reconciled?

    AH!!! I missed that. Of course the contributors to the Daily Mail would mostly believe in the two miracles of the "Big Bang" and life arising by serendipity.

    In Today's News

    I think the idea is evidence of the decay of our civilization, the cowardice of the officials who oversee the competitions, and the normalization of mental disorder. A male who does all the things possible to make himself appear to be a female still has greater muscle mass and a higher...

    The words "He made alive" were added. Eph 2:1 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, Those words are not in the Greek. καὶ ὑμᾶς ὄντας νεκροὺς τοῖς παραπτώμασιν καὶ ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ὑμῶν (MGNT) καὶ ὑμᾶς ὄντας νεκροὺς τοῖς παραπτώμασιν καὶ ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις (TR) and you who...

    Are all people infected by sin?

    Here's the basics of Calvinism: Total Depravity: Sin has affected all parts of man. The heart, emotions, will, mind, and body are all affected by sin. We are completely sinful. We are not as sinful as we could be, but we are completely affected by sin. The doctrine of Total Depravity is...

    Actually, there is a variety of views expressed with creationists being in the majority by a wide margin.

    'When is the apocalypse?

    Revelations tells us that everything will be made new. Rev 21:1-5a Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a...

    Are all people infected by sin?

    If some people are predestined to be saved and others predestined to be condemned then there is no reason to believe the Gospel. If you're predestined to be saved you will be saved and if you are predestined for hell then believing the Gospel won't make any difference. The predestination...

    Are all people infected by sin?

    Paul's teaching in Roman's 1 says we are all without excuse because ,"His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead". How did the hearts of those who are represented by the path get to be too hard to receive the word...

    Do what God has called you to do. Do it as if your eternal life depended on doing it. Don't worry about the rest of the "stuff."
