Hi Doc and BradK, Sorry I couldn't respond sooner,I've been extremely busy this week,I have a full time job,elder in my church and starting up a new fellowship in a neighboring town,so please bare with me if it sometimes takes a few days to respond. Doc I would like to respond to you first. Death reigned as king over all men,my mistake,I ment to write because of one man's offence death reined or spread through that one.ROM.5:17 amp.and then verse 19 says because of that many were made that way. Spiritualy dead men still have a spirit.Gen2:17God said the day YOU eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil YOU shall surely die.We know that Adam didn't die physically,because Gen. 5:5 says that he lived 930 years then died.Adam died spiritually.That's the death that was passed on to all men.When God says YOU,He's identifing Adam as a Spirit man ,not a natural man.Adam's disobedience caused a change in his condition in reference to his spirit,Which is our condition until we accept Christ,the change is a spiritual change,death to life John 5:24.Jesus said in John 10:10 I come to give you life.He made us something that we were not,by changing our spiritual condition,from death to life.Jesus ,who knew no sin became sin,He identified with who we were in Adam,who was spiritually dead,which is the sin nature or death nature and it can only produce death.He gave us life to produce life.Every believer is to manifest the life or nature of the son.Even though Adam died spiritually,he still was a threefold being,spirit,soul and body.No it doesn't say that in written words,but it does picture it. BradK Name change in scripture denotes a change in nature is not written in english words either,but I will show you a picture. Abram to Abraham,notice what was added,am was added.God's name is I AM,that I AM.Before Gen.17 he was Abram and produced Ismeal,after Gen17 He became Abraham and produced the promised son Isaac,which is a picture of Christ.What changed him was a encounter with GOD.Abram is a picture of a believer before one accepts Christ and Abraham is a picture of a believer after accepting Christ.Abraham can be looked at as the church giving birth to the nature of the son.

Hello PDAL, I don't really think there is much I can add to help you better understand the error you proclaim! I cannot enlighten you, but would pray that the Holy Spirit, through the Word would do so. (2 Tim. 2:15) While I can certainly appreciate your attempt at an analogy, it fails on 2 counts: 1. It's not rooted and founded in proper exegesis of scripture, as Gen.17 has nothing whatsoever to do with the "dual nature" of the the believer; 2. The analogy is also flawed in that I fail to see how "Abraham can be looked at as the church giving birth to the nature of the son"? Allow me to provide the following quote (in part) from C.H. Spurgeon and his sermon on Rom. 7:24-25 titled, "THE FAINTING WARRIOR": "Thus, you see, the Christian becomes a double man — two men in one. Some have imagined that the old nature is turned out of the Christian: not so, for the Word of God and experience teach the contrary, the old nature is in the: Christian unchanged, unaltered, just the same, as bad as ever it was; while the new nature in him is holy, pure and heavenly; and hence, as we shall have to notice in me next place — hence there arises a conflict between the two. Again, observe, that the old nature of man, which remains in the Christian is evil, and it cannot ever be anything else but evil, for we are told in this chapter that “in me,” — that is, in my flesh — “there dwelleth no good thing.” (present tense) The old Adam-nature cannot be improved; it cannot be made better; it is hopeless to attempt it. You may do what you please with it, you may educate it, you may instruct it, and thus you may give it more instruments for rebellion, but you cannot make the rebel into the friend, you cannot turn the darkness into light; it is an enemy to God, and an enemy to God it ever must be. On the contrary, the new life which God has given us cannot sin. That is the meaning of a passage in John, where it is said, “The child of God sinneth not; he cannot sin, because he is born of God.” The old nature is evil only evil, and that continually, the new nature is wholly good; it knows nothing of sin, except to hate it. Its contact with sin brings it pain and misery, and it cries out, “Woe is me that I dwell in Meshech, that I tabernacle in the tents of Kedar.” I have thus given you some little picture of the two natures. Let me again remind you that these two natures are essentially unchangeable. You cannot make the new nature which God has given you less divine; the old nature you cannot make less impure and earthly." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Amen, Brother BradK. Excellent quote! 1 Cor 9:27 but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified. Shalom Azure |
