"It" lays the blame on Adam because he is the federal head of the human race, and he partook willingly; whereas Eve was tricked.I'm interested as to why it lays the blame on Adam, and solely on Adam.
Tricked by whom, and how, exactly?"It" lays the blame on Adam because he is the federal head of the human race, and he partook willingly; whereas Eve was tricked.
Surely that would depend upon why they lost an important game.To help understand this, who gets fired if a football team loses an important game?
Sorry but Jesus was quite clear on this and he specifically told us to adhere to the letter all the OT till Heaven and Earth pass away! This means that until the end times no one (not even you AVMzungu, let me appeal to dispensation theology to answer your point here.
Luke 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
Galatians 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Galatians 3:25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
Back in Exodus 19, the Israelites were under the [4th] dispensation of Promise; but at the foot of Mount Sinai, the dispensation of Promise ended, and the [5th] dispensation of Law started.
This dispensation ran from the giving of the 10 Commandments to the renting of the Temple veil from top to bottom at Jesus' crucifixion.
Mark 15:38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
We now live in the [6th] dispensation of Grace (also known as the Church Age), which will end at Armageddon.
I hope this helps.
Mzungu, let me appeal to dispensation theology to answer your point here.
Nope.Sorry but Jesus was quite clear on this and he specifically told us to adhere to the letter all the OT till Heaven and Earth pass away!
Again, the Law was in effect until the time of John the Baptist, who was the last of the OT prophets.This means that until the end times no one (not even you AV) have the right to relax nor change nor interpret as you see fit the laws (OT).
Pot, meet kettle?Why is it that you and other creationists have such a hard time understanding the Bible?
So what's your problem?After all Kent Hovind (your hero) clearly said many times that God wrote the Bible to be clear to everyone and everyone can understand it.
I think you'll find we follow a rigid set of rules.The problem with creationists is that they take the Bible literally and when it conflicts with reality they find all manner of interpretations to suit their creationism.
Not this creationist.This is purely due to creationists "FAILING" to read the Bible spiritually, and insist on reading it like a science textbook.
1. It doesn't have to be a SCIENCE TEXT BOOK to be interpreted literally.Sorry fellas but the Bible is a spiritual Guide based on faith and it is not to be read literally as it is NOT A SCIENCE TEXT BOOK that you so much want it to be.
And we don't plan to stop, either.So many Christians here have told you lot the same thing yet you insist on literal translations.
See, this is what happens when you think like you do. If you get your way, people will start dying.Now since God himself commands you to kill disobedient children then by refusing to do so you (Bible literalists) are in direct contradiction to Gods wishes.
So, when the Mzungus of John 8 interrupted Jesus' teaching in the Temple with this...I insist on the disobedient children as this law is one that puts Bible literalists on a tight spot.
Good -- tell the allegorists that.Also Jesus told us not to interpret the scriptures as we see fit.
Funny how Bible literalists aren't rushing out to "fuel their planes", isn't it?This is something that arises only with Bible literalists and not the rest of Christianity!
You do not need a temple. But the Sanhedrin believe they need the temple mount. They need permission to begin the sacrifices again. If they tried the police would remove them. thesanhedrin.orgShould we be sacrificing lambs right now? And where's our Temple?
Evidently mzungu and Master Po do, so they can be placated.You do not need a temple.
The Bible talks about Science:I'm fond of saying that, using the Bible as a science book is like using Bill Gate's diary as a computer manual.
1. It doesn't have to be a SCIENCE TEXT BOOK to be interpreted literally.
2. I'm almost vociferous in pointing out the Bible is not a science text Book.
As I told someone else, you know what easy questions lead to.Come on AV, I thought that would have been an easy one.
Yes -- the Bible certainly contains science, but It is not a science textbook, pr se.The Bible talks about Science:
Romans 1:20-32
New King James Version (NKJV)
20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible manand birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
They do not need the temple for sacrifices. David used a tent. The temple will be rebuilt by the mid trib, because of the prophecy of the antichrist. They will have the parts and pieces all ready to go so that it will not take them long to rebuild the temple.Evidently mzungu and Master Po do, so they can be placated.
I'm glad God doesn't placate us though.
Fine -- scrub the Temple then, but mzungu wants us out hunting witches before we even have the sacerdotal system in place.They do not need the temple for sacrifices. David used a tent. The temple will be rebuilt by the mid trib, because of the prophecy of the antichrist. They will have the parts and pieces all ready to go so that it will not take them long to rebuild the temple.
"And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready at the quarry; and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building." 1 kings 6 7
I'm sure the suffering you've had at the hands of those who don't share your views are worthy of comparison to the events of a similar name.As I told someone else, you know what easy questions lead to.
They are the doors to the scinquisition around here.
I do not plan to be here for the tribulation. My work will be done and there would be no reason for me to be here. This is a time of God's wrath and we have not been appointed to God's wrath. That is for the world, first the world was cleansed by water, now the world will be cleansed by fire.We've got a LOT of work to do,
That is correct -- we will not be here during the Tribulation.I do not plan to be here for the tribulation.
We "looked after the planet" during the Red scare.But you're here now. So why wouldn't you do what a true christian should do, and that's looking after the planet?
Why do you always insist on only having the most superficial understanding of the issues at hand?We "looked after the planet" during the Red scare.
We "looked after the planet" during the resources depletion scare.
We "looked after the planet" during the overpopulation scare.
We "looked after the planet" during various syzygies.
We "looked after the planet" during the Y2K scare.
We "looked after the planet" during the DDT scare.
We "looked after the planet" during the radon gas scare.
We "looked after the planet" during the asbestos scare.
We "looked after the planet" during the lead paint scare.
Now you want us to beware of global warming.
Now you want us to beware of a little ice age.
Now you want us to beware of asteroids in the area.
