Re: [TruthTalk] Judy, Lance, Bill, John, David?
I don't disagree with your understanding that the root of temptation is found in the lust of our flesh, but the forcefulness of that flesh to move us in a certain direction is not the same in all people now, and it was not the same in Adam Eve before the fall as it was afterward. There was an awakening within them toward knowledge of evil, and that had repurcussions within them. Therefore, punishment ensued and a protection of the tree of life and many other issues which I cannot now speak. Suffice it to say at this time that from my perspective, Adam Eve were similar to the angels of heaven in regards to their innocence and naivety. They did not walk in the experience of what Romans 7 describes as our experience when confronted with a commandment of God. It took further enticement in their case, which worked with the desires of their flesh (the fruit of the tree looked like good food to eat), yes, but this alone does not come to the level of a sin nature. Satan has a sin nature too, but this nature of his was not created within him in the beginning. It was the defiling effects of sinful action which has caused his sin nature within him. Now please do not think that I am Pelagian in my viewpoint. I'm not. I believe that man is born in a state of physical depravity, but in that physical depravity is related to how men choose to act, I believe that this physical depravity also corresponds with man being in a state of moral depravity. In this manner, the articulation of my viewpoint is different from that of Charles Finney, but I believe his message was right and needed to be heard at the time it was given.

As far as I know, temptation preceeds sin and sinning. And temptation appeals to personal desire (called lust by James). Human nature is sin nature. I do not mean to say that a sin nature sins !!

And what in the world is a genetic evolutionary force when it comes to sin.? AND how can we resist a selfish nature that is a product of a genetic evolutionary force?

Re: [TruthTalk] Judy, Lance, Bill, John, David?
Hello, David. My comments below . I don't disagree with your understanding that the root of temptation is found in the lust of our flesh, but the forcefulness of that flesh to move us in a certain direction is not the same in all people now, and it was not the same in Adam Eve before the fall as it was afterward. How does James 1:13-15 fit in with what you are saying here and elsewhere in this post? There was an awakening within them toward knowledge of evil, and that had repurcussions within them. Therefore, punishment ensued and a protection of the tree of life and many other issues which I cannot now speak. Suffice it to say at this time that from my perspective, Adam Eve were similar to the angels of heaven in regards to their innocence and naivety.Well, before they knowlingly sinned, their innocence and naivety could be compared to anyone who is likewise thought of as innocent and naive. Such does not mean that they did not have a human nature fully capable of sin - as is [also] the case with angels. They did not walk in the experience of what Romans 7 describes as our experience when confronted with a commandment of God. Do you have a reason other than speculative for the above statement? It took further enticement in their case, which worked with the desires of their flesh (the fruit of the tree looked like good food to eat), yes, but this alone does not come to the level of a "sin nature." Soo, a sin nature is the result of the practice of sin? Children are not born with this sin nature? Rather, it is the result of patterned activty and genetic evolutionary influenses? Satan has a sin nature too, but this nature of his was not created within him in the beginning. It was the defiling effects of sinful action which has caused his sin nature within him. Now please do not think that I am Pelagian in my viewpoint. I'm not. No worry on this point. I believe that man is born in a state of physical depravity, but in that physical depravity is related to how men choose to act, I believe that this physical depravity also corresponds with man being in a state of moral depravity. Is man born morally and "physically (whatever you mean by this) depraved but without a sin nature -- when such is developed as a result of the practice of sin and its accumulative effect on man? And do you see why I would think this to be highly speculative? In this manner, the articulation of my viewpoint is different from that of Charles Finney, but I believe his message was right and needed to be heard at the time it was given. Yeah, you, Finney and Jonathan Edwards. Not the trifecta of grace ministries!!David Miller.

Re: [TruthTalk] Judy, Lance, Bill, John, David?
As far as I know, temptation preceeds sin and sinning. And temptation appeals to personal desire (called "lust" by James). Human nature is sin nature. I do not mean to say that a sin nature sins !! Christ had this very nature - I believe you called it "sinful flesh" on several occasions in the past. Well, sinful nature or sinfulflesh means the same to me. JD wrote: Regarding Adam and Eve - if they did not have a "sinful nature" before their decision to disobey the Lord, they would have never disobeyed Him !!What is your basis for this assumption, John?My answer to this question is found in my statement above. DMwrites: It was the defiling nature of sin, and the selfish nature of a genetic evolutionary force, which has produced the sin nature that we observe in man today. Speculation will get you nowhere, David. Sin does not have a defiling nature outside a continued involvement with our personal lusts. Yu define an evolutionary force in terms of a selfish nature ?? And what in the world is a genetic evolutionary force when it comes to sin.? AND how can we resist a selfish nature that is a product of a genetic evolutionary force? James, as I read him, believed that sin had no force apart from the desires of man and is conceived of our desires. jd -- Original message -- From: "David Miller" [EMAIL PROTECTED] JD wrote: Regarding Adam and Eve - if they did not have a "sinful nature" before their decision to disobey the Lord, they would have never disobeyed Him !! What is your basis for this assumption, John? Consider the following passage: Ezekiel 28:15 (15) Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. Do you think the angels that sinned also were created with a sin nature? From my perspective, Adam Eve did NOT have a sinful nature as part of their constituency. It was the defiling nature of sin, and the selfish nature of a genetic evolutionary force, which has produced the sin nature that we observe in man today.

cd: Bill I have condenses articlewritten by Darby: Do you agree with it?If not why? This shews us the Christ standing in the midst of those who are saved, whom God brings to glory, although at their head. It is this which our epistle sets before us He who sanctifies (the Christ), and they who are sanctified (the remnant set apart for God by the Spirit) are all of one: an _expression_, the force of which is easily apprehended, but difficult to express, when one abandons the abstract nature of the phrase itself. Observe that it is only of sanctified persons that this is said. Christ and the sanctified ones are all one company, men together in the same position before God. But the idea goes a little farther. It is not of one and the same Father; had it been so, it could not have been said, "He is not ashamed to call them brethren." He could not then do otherwise than call them brethren. If we say "of the same mass" the _expression_ may be pushed too far, as though He and the others were of the same nature as children of Adam, sinners together. In this case He would have to call every man His brother; whereas it is only the children whom God has given Him, "sanctified" ones, that He calls so. But He and the sanctified ones are all as men in the same nature and position together before God. When I say "the same," it is not in the same state of sin, but the contrary, for they are the Sanctifier and the sanctified, but in the same truth of human position as it is before God as sanctified to Him; the same as far forth as man when He, as the sanctified one, is before God. On this account He is not ashamed to call the sanctified His brethren. This position is entirely gained by resurrection; for although in principle, the children were given to Him before, yet He only called them His brethren when He had finished the work which enabled Him to present them with Himself before God. He said indeed "mother, sister, brother;" but He did not use the term "my brethren," until He said to Mary of Magdala, "Go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, and to my God an your God."

Re: [TruthTalk] Judy, Lance, Bill, John, David?
Yeah, I think that God in Christ actually penetrated to the root of humanity's problem, thus purging sin from within man. I'll say more about this in that post tonight. In the meantime you can start thinking about it like this: God did not just protect the human nature of Jesus from exterior intrusions, which is all he would have had to do if we were like pre-fallen Adam; no, he actually got inside the man Jesus and beat sin from within his nature, where it haddevoured Adam's posterity.

In this case He would have to call every man His brother; whereas it is only the children whom God has given Him, "sanctified" ones, that He calls so. I do not agree with this. Dean, if Christ is not of the same nature as we, well, what is left? Do you know of more "natures" than the two - human and divine ?? If we allow for Christ to be human but refuse to think that He was of the same nature as we -- what is the benefit? I do not understand. Why didn't He just come down, as God, and assume a human body, one fashioned just for Him maybe King David's body, since it was available, and go with that.Christ could claim to be thefulfillment of all that David wrot e about in the Psalms. Or, just make up your own scenario. Do you understand that the "sinful" nature IS the nature of man? That it existed BEFORE the fall? That it has two sides to it -- a God side and a man side? (Romans 7:14-25 is only an expansion of this reality.) The really big difference between God and Man is this -- God cannot -- CANNOT -- be tempted. It is impossible for God to sin, as God. God will never change because He cannot change. He is fully free to be Himself. He is not bound to choice, as we are. If God had made another God (even impossible for God, by the way) there would have been no tree of knowledge. It would have been wholly unnecessary. There would not have been a serpent, for the same reason. There would have been no need for redemption. And so on. But God made Man. That "sinful" nature is not one which necessarily sins !!Why do you not see the need for children to receive blood offerings under the oldLaw? There is no sacrifice for children's sins, right? Becasue their sinful nature is not that which receives or merits condemnation !!! There can be no other reason !!So , simply having a sinful nature is not the issue ofjudgment. Choice is the critical difference between the two natures. God has no choice and is , therefore, free to be who He is. Man, on the other hand, does have choice and has had this choice from the very beginning!! Correct?!! God is not temptable, man is. The tree of knowledge is just that, but more !! It is also a testament to the fact that man was created with a choice -- to eat or not to eat. It is a testament that man's nature is not God's nature. What does it mean to be "temptable?" We do have scripture on this and you know it as well as I. James explains it to us. The importantissue in Jamesis this -- temptation appeals is to our human desires (James calls this "lust"). In James, neither "lust" nor temptation is wrong - as he defines the workings of "sin." And in that discussion by James , we have the description of the human nature. It is temptable !! And that is why we call it a "sinful nature." Not thatweMUST sin, but thatwe can sin. When we say that Christ has a "sinful nature," we are not saying that He was a sinner. No. But we are saying that He had the same desires as we. When He was tempted by Satan -- HE WAS TEMPTED. But wait ! We should not forget that Christ is both God and man. One of Bill's most revealing comments, to me, is found in his belief that in Christ Jesus, we have a combining of natures that truly makes Him the Unique Son of God. There is only ONE nature in Christ (IMO). And, it is wholly infinte and finite. Because this is true, Paul tells us that He has reconciled all things unto Himself IN THEBODY OF HIS FLESH. In Christ, God and man and man's predicatment are all brought together, in one person and in that circumstance, we have true resolution. And Paul uses "reconciliation" to speak of the resolution. This is the fact of reconciliation. The purpose

God had maintained the authority of the word that was communicated by means of angels, punishing disobedience to it, for it was a law. How then shall we escape if we neglect a salvation which the Lord Himself has announced? Thus the service of the Lord among the Jews was a word of salvation, which the apostles confirmed, and which the mighty testimony of the Holy Ghost established. Such is the exhortation addressed to the believing Jews, founded on the glory of the Messiah, whether with regard to His position of His Person, calling them away from what was Jewish to higher thoughts of Christ. We have already remarked that the testimony, of which this epistle treats, is attributed to the Lord Himself. Therefore we must not expect to find in it the assembly (as such), of which the Lord had only spoken prophetically; but His testimony in relation to Israel, among whom He sojourned on the earth, to whatever extent that testimony reached. That which was spoken by the apostles is only treated here as a confirmation of the Lord's own word, God having added His testimony to it by the miraculous manifestations of the Spirit, who distributed His gifts to each according to His will. The glory of which we have been speaking is the personal glory of the Messiah, the Son of David; and His glory in the time present, during which God has called Him to sit at His right hand. He is the Son of God, He is even the Creator; but there is also His glory in connection with the world to come, as Son of man. Of this Chapter 2 speaks, comparing Him still with the angels; but here to exclude them altogether. In the previous Chapter they had their place; the law was given by angels; they are servants, on God's part, of the heirs of salvation. In Chapter w they have no place, they do not reign; the world to come is not made subject to them that is, this habitable earth, directed and governed as it will be when God shall have accomplished that which He has spoken of by the prophets. The order of the world, placed in relationship with Jehovah under the law, or "lying in darkness," has been interrupted by the rejection of the Messiah, who has taken His place at the right hand of God on high, His enemies being not yet given into His hand for judgment; because God is carrying on His work of grace, and gathering out the assembly. But He will yet establish a new order of things on the earth; this will be "the world to come." Now that world is not made subject to angels. The testimony given in the Old Testament with regard to this is as follows: "What is man, that thou art mindful of him; or the son of man that thou visitest him? Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels; thou hast crowned him with glory and honour; thou hast set him over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet." Thus all things without exception (save He who has made them subject to Him), are, according to the purpose of God, put under the feet of man, and in particular of the Son of man. When studying the Book of Psalms, we saw that which I recall here, namely, that this testimony in Psalm 8 is, with regard to the position and dominion of Christ as man, an advance upon Psalm 2. Psalm 1 sets before us the righteous man, accepted of God, the godly remnant with which Christ connected Himself; Psalm 2, the counsels of God respecting His Messiah, in spite of the efforts made by the kings and governors of the earth. God establishes Him as King in Zion, and summons all the kings to do homage to Him whom He proclaimed to be His Son on the earth. Afterwards we see that being rejected the remnant suffer, and this Psalm 2 is what Peter quotes to prove the rising up of the powers of the earth, Jewish and Gentile, against

Re: [TruthTalk] Judy, Lance, Bill, John, David?
Hi Judy. Calvin is generally NOT considered a church father. I think over generalization is a big problem here. By the way, the writings of Calvin might disagree slightly with you about the reason for the Virgin birth, but they seem to be saying the same thing as you in regards to Jesus being exempt from the corruption of flesh that is common to men. Calvin believed that Jesus was such as Adam was before the fall. Consider the following quote from John Calvin: From Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion Chapter 13 - CHRIST CLOTHED WITH THE TRUE SUBSTANCE OF HUMAN NATURE. == It is childish trifling to maintain, that if Christ is free from all taint, and was begotten of the seed of Mary, by the secret operation of the Spirit, it is not therefore the seed of the woman that is impure, but only that of the man. We do not hold Christ to be free from all taint, merely because he was born of a woman unconnected with a man, but because he was sanctified by the Spirit, so that the generation was pure and spotless, such as it would have been before Adam's fall. Let us always bear in mind, that wherever Scripture adverts to the purity of Christ, it refers to his true human nature, since it were superfluous to say that God is pure. Moreover, the sanctification of which John speaks in his seventeenth chapter is inapplicable to the divine nature. This does not suggest the idea of a twofold seed in Adam, although no contamination extended to Christ, the generation of man not being in itself vicious or impure, but an accidental circumstance of the fall. Hence, it is not strange that Christ, by whom our integrity was to be restored, was exempted from the common corruption. == Should we not consider writings like Calvin in the same way that we would the writings of you or others on TruthTalk? Are they not expressions of what other Christians perceive truth to be? Why should the fact that Calvin or the church fathers are no longer with us put them at a disadvantage. Rather, perhaps we should offer them a little more respect because they have already finished the race and are waiting for us to finish ours.

Do you stand by your assessment that csl did not 'know' (define please) the Lord? Yes I do and if you are scandalized by CSL Lance, I would say the same about Augustine, Athanasius and Calvin who called himself an "Augustinian theologian" ... They were not following the example Christ left for us either by hunting down and killing heretics.Do you think the "culture of their day" will excuse them? I can't imagine having to stand in front of the Lord in that day and say "But Lord, I hunted down and killed all of these heretics in your name" (as per Matt 7:21) Tell me, is this doing the will of the Father? Is this following Jesus' example? Will He say "Well done thou good and faithful servant?" 2. Should you be correct then, WHERE IS CSL? (employ some biblical interpretation, please) CSL has gone to spend eternity with the one he served and the Lord Himself will make that determination by either accepting or rejecting him on that day. thanks, Lance judyt He that says "I know Him" and doesn't keep His Commandments is a liar (1 John 2:4) judyt He that says "I know Him" and doesn't keep His Commandments is a liar (1 John 2:4) judyt He that says "I know Him" and doesn't keep His Commandments is a liar (1 John 2:4)

Lance, You may think that your responses are deep and meaningful, but they are too elusive for me to spend time on. I ask for your position on a few simple issues from the Revelation, and you post a 2000 word treatise on SDA that you copied from some web site without any explanation. Was I to assume you believe it? not beleive it? Agree with some parts. Agree with none of it? Instead or your saying so, I (and others) have to spend several rounds of posts to try to get your response and you STILL have not answered my questions. How about blessing us with some of your own intellectual insight by answering my original questions. Wait! Don't go look up what someone else said about it. I want YOUR thoughts on it!

You've got a good 'knuckle ball' Chris. However, it didn't quite slip by me. No! You have indeed traded one tradition (of men) for another tradition (of men). Unless you are a 'one of a kind' guy (I sort of doubt that) then you just moved from one 'team' to another. Truth in advertising matters.The Gospel is owned by no one (1) tradition, including your own tradition (of men). PS Do women play a part in the ongoing formation of your tradition? I seem to recall hints of misogyny in your prior posts? Say it ain't so Joe.

\o/ !HALALU Yah! \o/ Greetings yet again Lance in the Matchless Name of YahShua !! FOUL BAWL! Strike one ... At least you made contact ... I am a 'one of a kind' guy (whether you have faith to believe or not). Almost surprised you don't see at least a glimmer of that. Truth does matter but I'm not advertising -- nothing to sell here. "Buy the truth and sell it not". Yet more great words. Oh, and, for the record, "it ain't so Joe". Women do play a part in the ongoing formation of Scriptural tradition to which I cling. (It is only "my" tradition in that the love, grace and mercy of Yah permits my clinging to Him and His.) Neither misogyny nor misterogyny here. I'm an equal opportunity hater ... of sin whether in males or females. Hate is a family value ... the family of Yah!
