Subject: Things people THINK in the BIBLE but not |
Bible Note: Stultis, With respect, I can see that we are getting nowhere, fast! You obviously do not believe the Bible to be the inspired, authoritative, Word of God. You are wrong in a number of points: "We do not "sin because we are sinners." We are created "in the image of God." What is God's image? God is spirit [15:47]." No, The image,(tselem) in Hebrew means form, image, or likeness. We are not created sinless! Only God is without sin, my friend. "We sin because we are tempted" No, again scripture tells us over and over that we are "sinners" (Rom. 3:10-12, 23) , in us is no good thing, our heart is deceitful above all things (Jer. 17:9), See Ps. 51:5! Because of Adam we inherit a sinful nature (Rom. 5:9). We're born with it like it or not. That is the teaching of scripture. "Christ came to us in the same corruptable flesh" No, He did not! That is a blasphemous statement and misses the mark. If you read Romans 8:3 CAREFULLY, you'll note that it says "... sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh..." Likeness is not the same as "sinful flesh. Christ was God in the flesh, without sin. The Greek, homoioma means that which is made like (something). It carries with it the sense of appearance or form. It does not infer He was sent as a sinful man. You ignore the context as well. You are guilty of ignoring the entire scope of scripture by taking certain, selected texts out of context to prove your point. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
