1 | Where are these words coming from? | Bible general Archive 2 | Stultis the Fool | 125909 | ||
Where are these words [deliberately, knowingly, and habitually] coming from in your dispensing of the text? I have looked to the Greek text, and they are neither there nor in any bible I have here with me. Also, you define "commits" as "practices." Is it not possible to commit a single act, or must "commit" pertain to a plurality of action? Furthermore, I have consulted the Greek text concerning verse 9, and the word "practicing" does not exist in the text, nor does it exist in my NASB. Additionally, the text clearly states that noone who sins has seen or known him... the word habitually makes no such appearance in the text (Greek or otherwise). I also understand that this thought begins with the author proclaiming that Christ "came to take away sin" and "in him there is no sin." If we abide in Christ, and there is no sin in Christ, and YET we sin, how can this thing be (that there would be sin in Christ)? Has Christ failed to take sin from those who "believe in him and confess him as Lord?" Or is there sin in Christ? The authors proclamation seems to be fairly straightforward, especially in context with the beginning of the Chapter and versus 8 and 9 of chapter 1. |

3 | 7 days? | Bible general Archive 2 | Stultis the Fool | 126677 | ||
Was the "world" created in seven twenty-four hour days, as described in Genesis chapter 1? | ||||||
4 | Allegorical? | Bible general Archive 2 | Stultis the Fool | 126690 | ||
So, use of the word "day" is simply an allegorical measure for the simplicity of our understanding, yes? This should be especially true considering the words you quote were written by Peter 1500 years later than those written by Moses in Genesis. | ||||||
5 | How do you explain? | Bible general Archive 2 | Stultis the Fool | 126699 | ||
How then do you explain Paul's description of "Sabaths" or "Holy Days" in Colosians 2:16 and 17 when compared to the Author of Hebrews explanation of the creation of man and God's rest found in Hebrew's 3:5 through 4:11. Here (Hebrews) the author thoroughly explains that "God's rest", or the 7th day of creation, is something we strive to enter, and while it is "Today", which, by intent, we can surmise must refer to the 6th day, we should strive to enter "God's rest." Either the author is allegorizing the 7 days of creation, or else he is displaying quite literally that the 6th and 7th days of creation were no more 24 hour periods than the first 4 days. In either case, something is debunked here: 24 hour creaction period following day four OR allegory not being present in the creation. Again, I find Paul's refference to "shadows" lends great credance to this concept. |
||||||
6 | Allegory? | Bible general Archive 2 | Stultis the Fool | 126703 | ||
Yes, we will enter into "rest," as described by the author, but we will not enter "Today." Therefore, we must be "dilligent" to enter that rest [Hebrews 4:11]. This rest here refers to the Sabath Day, as spoken of in verses 9 and 10. At any rate, the use of the word "day" in Genesis is metaphoric, especially coupled with the concepts of "morning" and "evening." Additionaly, the author of Hebrew's tells us God completed his works from the "foundation of the world" [Hebrews 4:3], and we know the foundation of the world was created first of all things, along with the heavens. [Genesis 1:1] The passage explains that the world was "formless and void," thus the "foundation" upon which all else was built. Therefore, if all was finished from the "foundation" of the world, how is it that 6 more days of creation remain, unless there is allegory? We are all in agreement that God the Almighty can create the world in seven days, even 24 hour periods as defined in the modern sense. Is it also unreasonable to believe that all could be completed from the first day, in an instant, and the summation of his work bloomed over the next five days, in due course with his desire for creation? |

7 | What then do we need to sin? | Bible general Archive 2 | Stultis the Fool | 126708 | ||
You say I understand what "sin nature" is, and you agree that it gives Christ the capacity to sin, but you argue it is unnecesary to have a "sin nature" in order to sin. So, what then do we need to sin? | ||||||
8 | Can I help you? | Bible general Archive 2 | Stultis the Fool | 126766 | ||
Jesus chose appropriately, and Grace was not yet with us when he did so. I agree that man is condemned by the Law because of sin, but free will plays the most important role. If you cannot recognize temptations role in sin, I pity you. We will not be tempted with more than we can bear. We have every capacity to choose between right and wrong. The Law of moses was created to identify sin, that we should not sin. God gives us all we need (right down to salvation and grace), to avoid sin and defy the flesh by walking in the spirit. I am sorry you feel you are constrained by more than you can bear. Can I help you in any way? | ||||||
9 | Unreasonable? | Bible general Archive 2 | Stultis the Fool | 126771 | ||
I am not. I am stating that the Author of Hebrews uses the creation account as allegory, and his allegory contradicts a literal 7-day 24hour creation. Read it for yourself. Hebrews 3:5 through 4:11. If the Author of Hebrews feels at liberty to allegorize the creation, is it unreasonable for us to ponder such things? | ||||||
10 | This post is restricted. What gives? | Bible general Archive 2 | Stultis the Fool | 126805 | ||
I understand what you say, however, I must give do credit to the creator where all life is concerned. I am familiar with what the scriptures say regarding creation, be fruitful, etc., but I wish to steal none of the glory from the Creator. Soloman believed we were all created by God [Ecclesiastes 3:20, 12:7], and as such I see no reason to apply semantics here. I am certain that all ment are created by the Lord, just as I am sure they are given their spirit from Him. I see this post is restricted. What gives? |

Does this definition consider forces that act against the earth allowing for orbital decay? Certainly the Earth's orbit does experience decay. Aditionally, some years ought, by biblical event, to be longer than others. Consider the events in 2 Kings 20:8 through 20:11, and also the events of Joshua 10:12 and 10:13. Thoughts? |

15 | How do you explain? | Gen 1:31 | Stultis the Fool | 127160 | ||
Hello DBR! I cannot say that you have substantiated your answere. How do you explain Job 26:13? "By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent." | ||||||
16 | How do you substantiate your answere? | Gen 1:31 | Stultis the Fool | 127164 | ||
Hello Angel! I cannot say that you have substantiated your answere. Knowhere in Genesis 1:1-31 does the scripture tell us that God created Satan and that "it was good." Also, darkness came first, and this is verified when we read that Satan sinned from the beginning [1 John 3:8]. How do you explain these things? Genesis 2:9 tells us that God created the tree of knowledge of good and EVIL. The tree most certainly had attributes both good AND evil. How do you explain this? Knowhere in the scripture is Satan described as "an angel previously known as Lucifer." Not in Revelation 12:3-4,7-9; not in Isaiah 14:12-20; and not in Luke 10:18. How do you explain your statement? Also, if the answere is "No," how do you explain Job 26:13 "By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent." Consider Ecclesiastes 7:13 "Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?" |
||||||
17 | How do you explain? | Gen 1:31 | Stultis the Fool | 127168 | ||
The very same Law that God created condemned his Son Jesus. How do you explain John 1:29? Consider Genesis 22:8. I do not say that God is evil. If God created that which is evil, that does not make him evil. God created man of corruptable flesh. Does this make God evil? We must also surmise that the Lord knew all things when the serpent was created, as well as man, and he most certainly knew that man would be evil. How do you explain Job 26:13? How do you explain Isaiah 45:7? "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things." How do you explain 1 Kings 22:19-23 "Micaiah said, "Therefore, hear the word of the LORD. I saw the LORD sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing by Him on His right and on His left. The LORD said, 'Who will entice Ahab to go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?' And one said this while another said that. Then a spirit came forward and stood before the LORD and said, 'I will entice him.' The LORD said to him, 'How?' And he said, 'I will go out and be a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' Then He said, 'You are to entice him and also prevail. Go and do so.' Now therefore, behold, the LORD has put a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and the LORD has proclaimed disaster against you."" |

18 | How do you address? | Gen 1:31 | Stultis the Fool | 127263 | ||
Hello Tom tgc... I appreciate your contribution to this topic to which I have taken such interest, and I appreciate the effort you put into interpereting the creation. However, I must ask how you address the verse in Isaiah 45:7 "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things." | ||||||
19 | Can you add something more to this? | Gen 1:31 | Stultis the Fool | 127324 | ||
Hello tgc! I am happy to address what you have presented, and I am excited to learn from you what I can. The scriptures you quote here make an excellent argument for man's capacity for evil and God's hand in the creation of that capacity. I must agree with you when you state "Here man actualizes evil by using their ability to choose to obey or disobey." However, I must conclude that while the circumstance of this scripture does not demonstrate God's creation of evil, neither does it demonstrate that God did not create evil, particularly in light of other scripture which I have cited in previous posts. Perhaps I am not gifted to see the scriptures regarding this subject as you do. Can you add something more to this? |
