John 9:39 KJV And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. Does Christ make those who see blind or not? Yes or no. If yes, then all this is much ado about nothing. If no, then what are you calling sin...

As pertaining to God's involvement, you mention three things: By telling Isaiah to take a message to the people that they would reject. God's command as "Go to the people and render their hearts insensitive". The problem is that those who think that God directly turns hearts against Him will...

So, it was neither Isaiah nor God who rendered the hearts of the people insensitive, rather, it was the people who rendered their own heart insensitive and blinded their own eyes? How is this achieved? By an inert "mechanism". Well, I don't know what else to say. Thanks for the reply and...

Matthew 17:5 KJV While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him." If Isaiah not only had the power to render hearts insensitive but also to do it, yet, God does...

Yes. Christ is either victorious or Satan is. Christ is risen indeed and all will be resurrected. (I think the parts in bold are a wee bit different) As you know, the propitiation of sin was accomplished in One Person: our Lord Jesus Christ. We did not propitiate our sins and a person is...

If Paul is "on the hook" then it would be a good idea to get him off of it. 1 Corinthians 15:5-8 KJV (5) And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: (6) After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are...

Fascinating. What is your evaluation of Calvin here: "But what more incongruous than that the ungodly in their obstinate blindness should obtain what the pious worshipers of God receive by faith only? It is certain, therefore, that there will be one resurrection to judgment, and another to...

Love is in God alone, this is eternal. Enemies are simply sin as personified, which is separate from God. The extension and duration of that love to that enemy cannot be called eternal because, while love is an attribute of God, sin certainly isn't. The Gospel message is Good News indeed for...

Do you now? First make it conformable to the Trinity, so as to keep this orthodox Christianity.

We already went through this.

Ok. Then what do you mean by "power"?

All you have done here is make another essence which you term 'power'. Since 'power' doesn't do much you need to find a person but just end up with no one around to fit the bill. You have already exhausted all the "persons" and they have been unable to do anything either because they aren't...

As it pertains to the OP: this is from Isaac Ambrose; "Surely this is a blessed life; and as soon as ever I am united to Christ, why then, I ‘live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me,’ first, Christ is conceived, and then Christ is formed, and then Christ is born, and then Christ grows in me...

Yes. So, good, I am glad we're in agreement that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on the Cross. But if, as you said, God was in the flesh as a man, how did he raise Christ? And if, as you said, the holy-spirit was disconnected from flesh, how did he raise Christ? And if, as you said, Jesus...

Again, just as a reminder: Ok, so your answer is "Jesus the Son of Man died on the Cross, but Jesus the Son of God was resurrected." You didn't stop there. Because of your further refinement, the problem is that now you're going to have to say that Jesus, the Son of God, never died. Of...

Ok, fine. So, did you mean to answer the previous questions accordingly: Jesus the Son of Man died on the Cross, but Jesus the Son of God was resurrected. Or do you mean that Jesus, the Son of Man and the Son of God, died on the Cross and was resurrected?

Well, anyway, I have to go. I think the implications are pretty clear. Thanks for the discussion, Lion King.

Ok, but if the Son of Man raised Himself back from the dead but man cannot, in what way is He the Son of Man?

So, man has the power to raise himself from the dead, or just the Son of Man?

I think the usual questions that follow go like this: Which Jesus died on the Cross; the Son of God or the Son of Man? Which Jesus was resurrected; the Son of God or the Son of Man?
