This is intriguing alright... I'll think about it. But to springboard, something else also catches my attention here: Berean Standard Bible Gen 3:14 is for another hint about something: So the LORD God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and...

There is no mystery until our understanding of reality bumps up against our chosen theology of our being created at conception or birth... I believe that there is (or will be more revelation) about our true creation which will bring our fall, including Adam's fall, into the light...but which...

Do angels come here to die? GOD's angels are both holy (sinless) and elect (chosen by their faith in HIM to save them if they should ever fall into sin): 1 Timothy 5:21, Mark 8:38 - they do not die. Death as the wages of sin proves that it is only sinners who are liable to the natural and...

You cannot separate love from patience: 1 Corinthians 13:4 Love is patient, that is, HIS patience is as perfect as HIS love. Pelagianism is basically universal salvation. IF GOD can save someone, HE will save them since HIS Love is perfect. We became sinners against HIS will; HE saves us...

ImCo, Death is the wages for sin, NOT the consequence of life...except for our Christ. To be liable for the consequences for sin, one must be a sinner...except for our Christ. People of every age from the zygote on, die. Ergo, only sinners are born into this world. Sin can only accrue to a...

Thanks for your input but how does denying replacement theology relate to the op or to my questions, post #2?

No man, it was the church that got lost, not Christianity....

Good morning, yes, I agree it was a battle and not the natural repositioning of the twins in a tight space as the verb ratsats, to crush each other to pieces, implying murderous intent, so clearly tells us. But because no modern theology even tries to explain how the twins knew of this prophecy...

No sir...you guess my meaning wrongly in this interpretation. Men do not generally present themselves before GOD except Paul who went to heaven and learned things he could not tell us about...unless they are elect who have died and have gone to be with HIM. Unlike the garden story which...

Either way I think that ALL people existed as spirits (not men) before your interpretation of the bible says they existed: Berean Standard Bible about the creation of the physical universe: Job 38:7 while the morning stars sang together and ALL the sons of God shouted for joy? All the sons of...

Calvinism says they are doomed by the whim of GOD...I contend they were self doomed by their own free will rejection of YHWH's gospel claims to be our LORD GOD and only saviour from sin. That we both understand that since our election and reprobation was before the foundation of the world...

We all became sinners by our own free will decision to sin against HIM...does that sound like Calvinism? On earth, elect sinners live lives that are firmly within the theological scope of Hebrews 12:5-11 and Matt 13:27-30...

Our LIVES started when we were sown, not created, into this world, Matt 13:26-39, but our EXISTENCE started before the foundation of the world which ALL the sons of GOD witnessed, Job 38:7, after we had each committed to faith in HIM as our LORD and saviour or in the complete rejection of HIM as...

I agree that our election and the reprobation of others was before the foundation of the world but I totally disagree with the op's reasons for the election of some and not others... We chose our own FATE by faith while our LIVES are predetermined by GOD to bring us to the fulfillment of our...

Yes... These stars are named as all the sons of GOD... if your definition does not agree with this then something is wrong, neh? Are you a son of GOD? Then you are probably within this meaning as defined by this verse, an angelic spirit person who is later sown into the world of mankind.
