Yes. . . Unbelief in the promise (Ge 3:15, 15:5, Seed, Jesus Christ, Gal 3:16) is the cause of condemnation. Yes, Adam disobeyed God's law (command), which caused his physical death. Sin is transgression of the law (1Jn 3:4). Prior to the law, what sin was in the world when there was no...

In the light of the NT (Jn 1:12-13), neighbor and brethren are not the same thing. All brethren are neighbors, but not all neighbors are brethren.

The brethren of Christ being the children of God, born not of natural descent, nor of human decision, nor of a husband's will, but born of God (Jn 1:12-13).

And which faith is not a work of man, but only the gift of the Holy Spirit (Php 1:29, Ac1348, 18;27, 2 Pe 1:1, Ro 12:3), for we cannot even see the kingdom of God (much less believe in it) apart from the new birth by the Holy Spirit (Jn 3:3-5), which itself is as sovereign (unaccountable) as...

Sounding brass and tinkling cymbal until Biblically demonstrated. . .

All the ear-marks of humanistic reasoning, and none of Biblical revelation.

Actually, Heb is treating of apostasy (Heb 3:12, etc.)

Was Abraham at risk of losing the righteousness credited to him by faith? Does Ro 4:1-4 give any indication of such? Nowhere is that even suggested in Scripture. Contraire. . .you don't really understand the nature of the new birth, nor the deposit/earnest money of the Holy Spirit from God...

So that makes me amil?

Metaphor for the church age. . .Jn 16:33.

In context, the resurrection of all mankind occurs and then the rapture of the saints--both the resurrected and those still alive.

Wow!

Only in the mind of those who do not understand what actually took place on the cross. Faith in Christ admits to salvation. We don't "overcome" the guilt of yesterday's sin, all the sin of those in Christ is paid for. Those in Christ partake of his righteousness. Those in Christ walk in faith...
