cd: Yes-that is why God will hold these sins
to their accountably.To think otherwise would make the God we know a
mean Spirit who punishes his creation for doing something that they could
not help
"Now all things are of God, who has
reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry
of reconciliation; that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the
world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has
committed to us the word of reconciliation." -- 2Corinthians
5.18-19
cd: Yes he removed transgressions from those whom came to
receive Christ but what about those who return to sin or those who reject
Christ-are you saying they are accountable for doing something they cannot
help but to do?
cd: Bill tell me how do you receive the below verse to mean?
It is in English and the words are connected to meaning behind the
words-what do you think those connections illustrate?
2Pe 2:21 For it had been better for them not to have
known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy
commandment delivered unto them.
2Pe 2:22 But it is happened unto them according to
the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow
that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

IFF even one (1) was "able to keep God's
commandments before Christ went up to heaven and sent the Holy Ghost to
help us in this area (Acts)" then, might we rightly assume that EVERYONE
WAS ABLE?
cd: Yes-that is why God will hold these
sins to their accountably.To think otherwise would make the God we
know a mean Spirit who punishes his creation for doing something
that they could not help but to do-and He would then not be God.At least
not a God I would want to serve.

I may have misread you, Dean, but you seem
to say above that John the Baptist's "parents were post
ascension." The "ascension" took place after the resurrection of
Jesus, when he left this earth to sit at his Father's right
hand. Zacharias and Elizabeth were both quite old when JB was
born and had probably even died prior to the ascension. I
am a little confused as to what you mean when you write that
they were post-ascension. Elsewhere you state that "Christ has a
flesh body and ate fish even after the accention." I assume you
meant to say "ascension" here and if so, I was not aware of any
Scripture which speaks of Jesus eating
fish since having left to be with his
Father. Could you please try to help me better understand
what you're saying.
-------------------------
cd: Respectfully Bill -I am speaking of post-ascension as
a way of pointing out that Zac. and Elizabeth were able to keep
God's commandments before Christ went up to heaven and sent the
Holy Ghost to help us in this area (Acts 2)-so we have no excuse
for not doing so.This is my attempt to strengthen the
brethren.
-------------------------
By the way, do you (and
Judy) believe that JB's parents were born of "sinful
flesh"?
-----------------------------
cd: Yes I do Bill and I addressed
this in another post to John today.
I evidently missed
that one, Dean. Sorry about that. I was wondering if you
also consider Zacharius and Elizabeth to have been been
righteous and blameless before God.
---------------------------
cd: Yes I do Bill- but their born
into sin from the flesh saw need for their
salvation.
