    The Breath of Life

    I can stop breathing for a whole minute. Just mostly dead, I guess. Probably you mean when the breath leaves for the last time. But that still makes it somewhat subjective. But I agree with what I think you're trying to say

    Ask Sherman

    There's a special theology club? Is that like short bus theology?

    I just hear this: Why was Satan told to partake of the ground?

    "Mortal death" means "deathly death". I don't understand why both terms are needed. "First" is an interesting adjective to use on "deathly death". It makes it seem like there's a "second" deathly death expected. But God only told Adam he would "surely die" (or "dying he would die", which might...

    The Breath of Life

    Ok, then how does that change what we understand about scripture and our place in the world? And welcome to TOL, TIOTM.

    I just hear this: Why was Satan told to partake of the ground?

    I think you are on to something, but it isn't the bodies Satan is most concerned about, rather it is mankind itself. A few verses later God tells Adam, "You are dust." So Satan became the thing that wants to kill all of mankind AND prevent them from being resurrected. That last part fits with...

    I just hear this: Why was Satan told to partake of the ground?

    i think you read that wrong. it was supposed to be "@Ps82 says that Satan will die like a man."

    Can a Christian lose their salvation

    I wrote that after I had revisited your cited thread. And I think I came to a similar conclusion, that the most salient point had no teeth. I've tried. I can't do any better than I have already. The best I can offer is the same you started with, that Christ said we have to eat His body and...

    Can a Christian lose their salvation

    But that was the "most salient point." I don't think I want to bury Him who will never die again, nor certainly burn Him who deserves my worship. Plus, both of those things, including "dissolving", are speaking of types of corruption, which He certainly wouldn't be experiencing now. All of...

    Can a Christian lose their salvation

    This reply to JR? There are no valid points being made here, only how you treat the "host" once the assumption of correctness has already been made. Do you think Jesus had His disciples clean up so festidiously after the first Supper? If not, why not, since it is unlikely they had predesigned...

    Can a Christian lose their salvation

    Yeah, I remember looking at your thread that was referring to the other thread. Your thread didn't have anything to debunk, it was just you stating an opinion about what happened in the other thread. And the other thread wasn't any easier to gain anything from without a lot of schlogging through...

    Can a Christian lose their salvation

    Yes, and fully accomplished. [Heb 7:22 KJV] By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. (New Covenant) [Heb 7:23 KJV] And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: [Heb 7:24 KJV] But this [man], because he continueth ever, hath an...

    Died Suddenly

    I'm not certain about whether cadets all have to accept the jab this year, but they were refusing to commission those who refused in Spring '22 graduating class, and threatening to make them pay back $200,000 in costs...

    A little comedy break....

    Janu-ale-y? The "ales" of March are probably what got Julius in trouble.

    Can a Christian lose their salvation

    Hopefully not like Fauci "is science." I thought that the work of the Melchizedekian high priest was fully accomplished. I'm not ready to adore something that isn't happening. Sounds rather un-catholic (little "c"). Isn't the whole idea of catholicism that we all recognize each other as part...

    Can a Christian lose their salvation

    Maybe. Cambridge dictionary. Why? Wasn't the veil into the Holy of Holies torn, signifying that we are all able to access the mercy of God without going through a high priest? And are you saying we aren't able, if not Catholic, to discern the Lord's body? See below for how. Will we be cursed...

    Can a Christian lose their salvation

    I had to look up "confect": confect verb [ T ] often disapproving to create something, especially in a way that seems artificial or false: So, are they validly creating a false thing, or does it just look like it's false, so it's deceptive?
