You don’t understand how the devil lost the power over death when Jesus took the death penalty at the Cross? Without the Sacrifice of Jesus all humanity would have been lost because all man has sinned and deserves death, the penalty for breaking God’s law and sinning. Rom 6:23
I’m not trying to be a rear end, here. It’s Genesis 3.
I have read the entire context. I read the Gospels in totality. From the first chapter of each gospel, to the last.
What is the POWER behind SIN according to 1 Corinthians 15?!?
Rev 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
According to 1 Cor 15… what “was” the Power behind sin?
What you posted was missing a lot of context.
What point are you trying to make by contrasting what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath verses what is.
I will express an opinion. I think that you will suggest context is missing, when it disagrees with you opinion of what scripture means, and if an entire chapter is quoted that has full context, and disagrees with your opinion, you would go elsewhere within scripture to attempt to uphold your opinion. Perhaps we are all guilty of this. How many of us have the humility to acknowledge that only Jesus Christ.. is the TRUTH, while we merely scratch and claw at perceptions? Sometimes, I am humble. Sometimes, I grow proud and struggle to acknowledge that I am look into the glass dimly.

Brother, no! From the following passage it would seem that what you are talking about begins at birth. Adam and Eve were born into a world without sin except Satan. This means that Jesus did not have it because He did not begin at His birth from Mary, but rather He already lived before taking human form. Other verses may have more to say on the subject.
Interesting.... So Adam and Eve didn't have a fallen nature. What or who derailed those children of God, who had been given dominion over the Earth, under the Kingship of Almighty God?
I was referring to Mat 19. You removed a very important question that was asked of Jesus on what we have to do to have eternal life. He answered the question- will we believe His answer. He never said what He asks was too hard, so therefore stop trying. That was not His answer. The rich young ruler while he may have been keeping some of the commandments -Jesus told us to keep the least of them, Mat 5:19 which means all, he placed his great riches above following Jesus breaking the very first commandment to have no other gods before Him. While the rich ruler went away sad, he wanted to follow Jesus but one his terms, not Christs. This is an important lesson for us all, that we are to be doers of His Word. James 1:22
You do realize that Jesus was being followed by Jews that knew the importance of "Following the Law" and they were sincere followers of Him, correct? You think his teachings weren't too hard? Then why do we have this? John 6:66
John identifies WHO the word is. James was his brother. In the beginning was THE WORD.
Context. Please read James 1:22-24 it is about God's written Word that Jesus who is the WORD lived out. We are to be doers of God's Word, not just hearers James 1:22. What's the point of hearing God's Word but not responding to it, that only leads to deception.
Jesus IS the Law. Jesus IS the Word. Jesus IS salvation. Jesus IS YHWH. Jesus IS the Way. Jesus IS the Truth. I'm not going to Isaiah 14:14, anytime soon.
