The reason for that is sin. So babies die because of sin. We all have Adam's sin imputed to us.I am not sure. I do know that EVERY life owes a death at some point.
What did babies do?The reason for that is sin. So babies die because of sin. We all have Adam's sin imputed to us.
They were born under the curse of sin.What did babies do?
So was everyone but some live for over 100 years and some are hours old or even stillborn.They were born under the curse of sin.
Yes, this is true. All are but a vapor, though.So was everyone but some live for over 100 years and some are hours old or even stillborn.
This thread might interest you. It answers the question you asked.What did babies do?

Using a blog article in an online discussion is lazy. I could just post a link to counter. But I can tell that you are more interested in your view than the truth. The proof being that you not only used Titus 2:11 as a proof text, you couldn't even post the whole sentence.
I don't have much time anymore for online discussions. And you have shown you're unwilling to listen anyway. So have a great day and be blessed.
I disagree but due to Baptist forum SOF I'm not allowed to discuss. On this I'm firmly in the Lutheran camp. So I stated it in a specific way that doesn't go against Scripture and the Baptist SOF.
I'm fine with your disagreement, but you ignore what Peter said, unless your telling me he was wrong.
ugh.....My last statement...i tried not to be....sounds a bit more accusatory than i wanted. I think it an overall issue i have. I ask questions in a negative than a positive light. Anyway, just a sidenote that I should have asked it a bit differently.
Anyway, Acts 2:38. Peter said, "repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of sins" to the question, "What should we do?" What relation do you view Peter's statement and Jesus' statement in Matt 28?
It would, of course, be a mistake to link the words 'unto the remission of your sins' with the command 'be baptized' to the exclusion of the prior command 'Repent ye.' It is against the whole genius of Biblical religion to suppose that the outward rite had any value except insofar as it was accompanied by true repentance within. In a similar passage in the following chapter, the blotting out of the people's sins is a direct consequence of their repenting and turning to God (Ch. 3:19); nothing is said here about baptism, although it is no doubt implied (the idea of an unbaptized Christian is simply not entertained in NT (Bruce 1979:77).
So you believe Peter was wrong to include baptism in 2:38?Do you want 5-10 different explanations? I don't have the time to engage in such.

I do not find a word in Scripture that says that free will was forfeited when Adam sinned. This I do read: 'Choose this day whom you will serve' (Joshua 24:15).
He just gave the word of God where it says choose who you will serve. How do you explain over and over again God says choose?I don't find a word in scripture where free will is established IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Man has the ability to make choices, yes, but that's not the same as saying his will is "Free". The Bible clearly teaches that man makes decisions based on his nature (whether fallen and unregenerate, or renewed by the Spirit/regenerate)
Your entire theology is predicated on the concept of free will when no such thing was ever established in scripture. You just assume it's true and go from there.

seems pretty clear to me who you will serveBluelion, in the verse you quoted, what is given as the list of options to choose between?
I think the point Skala is making is the the choice isn't what you think it is.seems pretty clear to me who you will serve
