That’s you, it all makes sense to me.
”For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners...
I think it’s obvious that God did give them the ability to make the the right decision, they decided not to. They decided to trust and exalt themselves above God. God has given all humans the ability to choose and make the right decision. Just like it says Deuteronomy and Joshua..
This day I...
Are you saying that the invisible God looks like a human?
That comes from understanding that all things were made through the Son, the pre human Jesus, (Col 1, Heb 1, John 1 etc) and so the pre human Jesus was not a part of creation. So the uncreated pre human Jesus stepped into the creation...
You disagree with most scholars. We are also in the image of the invisible God.
I have said all I need to say concerning Phil. 2 and it is becoming repetitive.
Where does scripture say that Jesus stepped down into creation and became a man?
What you actually mean is God stepped down into...
“For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much...
@icehorse
I did not forget you. :) Thanks for being patient.
A little background on the true God - Jehovah:
Jehovah God loves righteousness and justice. Psalms 33:5
“I am Jehovah, the One exercising loving-kindness, justice and righteousness in the earth; for in these things I do take delight.”...
In my scriptures, we would just say, "God still loves you and still has the antidote to all poisons.
Romans5:6-8

6 When the time was right, the Anointed One died for all of us who were far from God, powerless, and weak. 7 Now it is rare to find someone willing to die for an...
Oh no, same guy. Your last 2 sources are random internet Christian? Seriously you do not care about what is actually true.
If it were up to religious people we would not even have historians. We could just google information that confirms your beliefs and call it history.
What a mess of...
Yes, because Jesus' sacrifice is the means by which God delivers or saves humankind from sin and death. The Bible refers to the shed blood of Jesus as a ransom price. (Ephesians 1:7)
Why was the ransom needed? The first man, Adam, was created perfect, or without sin. He lost the prospect of...
And let me guess: the scripture can't be a lie because you know God is benevolent. (not my position)
And you know God is benevolent because the scripture says he is. (my position)
And you know that the scripture can't be a lie because you know God is benevolent. (not my position)
And you know...
Thank you for your reply. We can all choose John 10:30 'I and the Father are one' (Not I and the Father are 'One')
This oneness is in harmony with John 17:20-23 because Jesus prayed to his God that his followers be 'one' just as he and his Father are 'one'. Not being 'one' person but being...
For what reason then did ‘GOD’ create the world and all there is within?
Was it not that so that the perfect image of himself should become ruler over it?
And who is that perfect image of God?
Is the image of God, God? (I asked you to define what you mean by ‘God’ but you pretended you didn’t...
Indeed I have. It's about the Suffering Servant, the nation of Israel. That Christians centuries later want to turn it into their own fable is their problem, not the Tanakh's.
For that you'd need a real messiah, one who was a leader and liberator of the Jews and anointed by the Jewish...

You do not answer the scriptures I gave, the plain scriptures which show that Jesus was raised as a man with a physical body. (John 2:18-22, Matt 28:5)
All you do is provide texts which cannot be said to say for sure that Jesus was raised as a spirit.
You say that Jesus materialised different...
I believe the greatest demonstration of love ( as is a sacrificial, love ) is demonstrated in these verses .
Romans 5

Sorry, Brian.
Your cards are not staying up.
Jesus was raised spirit. He manifested different physical bodies.
What are you finding hard to understand about that.
What you believe is not the important thing here.
Do we have to go through those scriptures again?
Okay. I don't have time to waste...
Sorry I must have misread the question. Angels are spirits.
The thing that we disagree about is if Jesus was raised with a physical (albeit glorified) body. You say the scriptures teach that He was raised as spirit and you point to places such as the ones below which can be easily interpreted...
