    I would expect you to have further questions since I just introduced some ideas.

    What Does The Existence of Sin Teach Us About God's Character?

    Your two assumptions are OK and two points on “Love” It is not logical for God to make man since it will cost Him a lot of heartaches compared to what God will get, but Godly type Love is not logical. This heartache will include the torture, humiliation and murder of His Son and the loss of...

    Born Again = No Sin Found

    If we are sinners we follow satan and we are his child by our choice. Do you feel we are conceived children of satan, hell bound and are not of our own free will choosing to follow satan? People like to blame satan, Adam& Eve, bad luck, sin, evil in the world and even God for being hell-bound...

    Born Again = No Sin Found

    The Bible does not say after Adam and Eve sinned: “Man’s nature changed”, or “The sin of Adam and Eve was pasted on”. It does say the knowledge of good and evil came into the world and does not use the word “fall” to describe this. Is knowledge bad in and of itself? To refute the idea...

    Born Again = No Sin Found

    2 Corinthians 5:21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. This is an extremely important verse to show imputing our sins to Christ, so the imputing of righteousness to man seems logical, BUT: Is that even a good translation? What...

    Matthew 7:13-14 and evangelizing

    Think about this: If I know perfectly a truly free will choice you made yesterday that choice is fixed and cannot be changed since it is history. The fact I know your free will choice of yesterday, does not keep it from being a free will choice. History cannot be changed even if God was the...

    Why does God use people?

    You are not explaining: "Why God put man in charge of the earth?" There are lots of tragedies on earth which man did not pray for, so why did God cause or allow these tragedies?

    IS WATER BAPTISM FOR TODAY ??

    New Christians may not tap into everything that is available to them to help them experience the transformation: I do not know of any Christian group, who believe the water itself saves you, since all believe it is God who saves and God is not limited by water. Water baptism is not a...

    Gaining : The Maturity

    I like and agree with what you are saying but one small point which may not even be what you are saying: Christ is not making atonement for us, Christ is providing a way for us to obtain atonement with God, but it is not Christ alone for we are to humbly correctly accept the deserved harsh...

    Crucifixion

    I needed Christ to be crucified and it was my sins (not mankind's sins) which put him their. Blame me and not mankind. I want Christ's blood out of his body and available to me, so I can feel and know it is washing over my heart with the communion in the form of the wine that I drink and I can...

    Thoughts on God vs the Kingdom of God. What does it mean for "God" to do something?

    I am not at all saying: God is behind anyone sinning. God allowed Adam and Eve to do what they wanted to do. Just wanting to do some wrong is wrong for us, but for Adam and Eve there was only one way for them to sin and that was eating the fruit, so they had to follow through on their desire...

    Gaining : The Maturity

    You say: “I do not feel that this applies in the New Testament’. What I learned in Bible 101 is, the five most important factor to translate scripture is: context, context, context, context and context. Most of the New Testament is said to, or written to Jewish Christians, and Gentile...

    Gaining : The Maturity

    The complete atonement process is found in Lev. 5 for minor sins, so what do you read nd why is that not true? Lev.4 starts atonement off giving details of what the priest must do, which you should read and understand, but Lev.5 gets into more detail about the individual, so please read Lev. 5...

    Gaining : The Maturity

    I an talking about the whole atonement process and not just Christ's work with the cross. Yes, we are reconciled through what Christ did and salvation is found in Christ. Your making assumptions about what I am saying, Is it wrong to say: "Christ is our atonement sacrifice"?

    Gaining : The Maturity

    Jesus being tortured, humiliated and murdered going to and through the cross, is the atonement sacrifice, but He is not the complete atonement process. To try and understand the atonement process for individual sins, we need to start with Lev. 5 where we have atonement for unintentional sins...
