1 | Why did Joseph pick Simeon to imprison? | Matthew | restate | 191243 | ||
Hank, Well, now I KNOW you're a serious Bible student. What does Dr. McGee say about why Joseph picked Simeon out of all his brothers to be his prisoner until the others brought Benjamin to him (Genesis 42:24)? Restate | ||||||
2 | Why sold? Why not kidnapped? | Gen 37:28 | restate | 191226 | ||
Why did the Lord plan that Joseph be sold by his own brothers (Genesis 37:28)? He could have been found and kidnapped by the Midianites as he searched the countryside for them (verses 14-17). Restate | ||||||

4 | Male seed sinful, but not female ovum? | NT general Archive 1 | restate | 191119 | ||
Greetings, InGodITrust, I've heard before that depravity is passed down through sinful sperm and that women have sinless ovum, even though they are the daughters of Eve who was first in the transgression in Eden and therefore brought an arguably greater judgement on her own gender than Adam did on his (1st. Timothy 2:13-15). I appreciate you reminding me of it, and it really would be a help if you - or anyone - would give me a scriptural reference for this doctrinal tenet; or maybe someone has another way by which Jesus could have been conceived sinless if depravity were inherent at conception. Come back? Restate |

5 | How did Christ escape inherent depravity | Bible general Archive 3 | restate | 191101 | ||
Hey BradK and Doc, To restate part of my first question, "While all are positionally guilty of man's original voluntary transgression in that all sinned in Adam...". Romans 5:12. However, we must distinguish the universal positional, legal sentence of death and damnation incurred solely by Adam and Eve's transgression as distinct from the corruption of every cognizant person's character. Only the preordained sacrifice of Christ, (1st. Peter 1: 19, 20), enables God to justly promise that the descendant will not be damned for his or her ancestor's sins, (including Adam's), and to charge each one for his own transgressions only, so that the soul that sinneth, it shall die (Ezekiel 18:4,20). It is an interesting idea that David's bones may have been literally crushed as in Psalm 51:8 - or did you mean that you take the 5th. verse verbatim but spiritualize verse 8? If there is no response to a point that is made, does that mean it has met its burden of proof? Here is a question that I've never heard a credible answer for: If carnality, or spiritual death, is inherent, how did Christ, the seed of the woman Eve escape being infected? (Genesis 3:15). Yours in the Kingdom of Christ, Restate |

6 | Literally or hyperbole? | Rom 5:12 | restate | 191051 | ||
Hey BradK, I see that you take Psalm 51:5 literally. Would you do the same for the 8th. verse?: "Let me hear joy and gladness;let the bones you have crushed rejoice. Psalm 51:8. If this is also to be taken literally, which of David's physical bones had God crushed? The bible is replete with hyperboles like these that are meant to be taken in the spirit and emotion in which they were written. David's anguished cry is probably either a deliberate and obvious exaggeration emphasizing his great conviction of his sin or his supposition that because he had become so grievous a sinner, he must have been conceived that way. If the 5th verse is to be taken literally, it must refer to the fact that David's mother was a human adult and therefore "in sin" like anyone of accountable age, all of whom have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, (...in sin did my mother conceive...). Ephesians 2:3 was written to us adult sinners saved by grace, whose natures have been set on fire by our own actions and tongues, which are set on fire by hell, not by the genes and chromosomes passed on by procreation. We are fearfully and wonderfully made and formed in the belly by God with a good and upright nature in his image and likeness. But even in the womb, temptation begins to misshape the innocent human psyche with fear and selfish impulses from demonic suggestion and sounds and emotions coming through the womb wall. So that in time, depravity becomes natural, and the natural man cannot receive the things of God.... So we become the children of wrath by incurring a second nature, as we are corrupted by voluntarily yielding to temptation, just as our first forbears did in the garden. Let's exhonorate God of the charge that he is, has been and will continue to, create billions and billions of babies with wicked and sinful natures at enmity with himself, at their very inception. Thanks for the reference to Jonathan Edwards' treatise. I'll look that up. Restate |

8 | Is depravity inherent at conception? | Ps 51:5 | restate | 191020 | ||
While all are positionally guilty of man's original voluntary transgression in that all sinned in Adam, are all the descendants of man conceived with a sinful nature, or is depravity incurred by each individual as he or she experiences the knowledge of evil by voluntary transgression in response to temptation?
