    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    When you have nothing to be ashamed of, comfortable in the presence of anyone, you do not worry about what you are waring, but once you feel shame everything about you becomes shameful.

    Not sure I am following you here. Adam and Eve knew lots of stuff (had knowledge). But previously you seemed to be saying: the knowledge of Good and Evil = Our sinful nature.

    You said: “Having the ability to not sin…”, so can we have that “ability” while here on earth and what would provide that ability? Is having the ability to not sin, result in not sinning or is there more to it? Jesus and us derive at least some of our temptation from Satan, so what is the...

    Did Jesus have the knowledge of Good and Evil? Was it past down to him through Adam and Eve? D Taylor supported by the article referenced equate "Knowledge of Good and Evil" with the "sin nature", so if Jesus has the knowledge acording to that definition He has a sin nature.

    You say: "Jesus did not have the same ability to succumb to sins temptation", so how could Jesus be tempted in every way as we are tempted? The idea is not to give Jesus certain powers over sin, we cannot have, making it God's fault for our sinning, since God did not provide those powers to us...

    That is a unique take on the "sin nature" and if that is what we are talking about I fully agree with you but would explain further. Does this make knowledge into nature (something natural in humans)? Yes! we have the Law written on our hearts and our conscious do burden us, when we hurt...

    I have never seen "Faith without works" to back the faith up.

    That is a frequently used copout statement. The Holy Spirit living in me knows and if I truly need to know for some good reason, He will help me to know. I do not have any problem with Christ's parables; they were made to be understood by Christians after Pentecost.

    Specifically, it says, “Because all sinned” and not “all were made sinners”. The word “all” does not have to include every conceived two cells to death, and can be just referring to mature adults, the people Paul is addressing in Rome. So, you believe unborn babies are sinners? Why was Adam...

    The famine did not cause the son to repent. The fact that the young son was starving to death in a pigsty, did bring the son to his senses, but that did not make the choice for the son. If the son had been macho, he would have accepted the death sentence in the pigsty, he fully deserved and not...

    You say we do not know the fate of babies but turn and say they are fallen, so how can you do that. And who and why did God give certain people to Jesus? I will tell you all He gave also humbly accepted the invitation to go to the totally undeserving of party.

    First off: thank you for the verses you want to discuss, but I still need your explanation, since it might be different from mine. Ro. 5: 12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned— Ro 5:12...

    Exodus 35:29 “All the Israelite men and women who were willing brought to the Lord freewill offerings for all the work the Lord through Moses had commanded them to do.” Are these truly free will offerings? Jonah 3: 10 “When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he...

    The verse and how you interpret the verse is what I need, since I am in full agreement with Romans 5.
