Well, Noah's daughters in law were not from his blood line I think, so some other families were just people.

It looks like it applied to the generation living when Noah was preaching, Noah and his family were excepted. No doubt as an act of grace towards them, but an act of grace predicated by Noah's preaching righteousness.

There are some advantages associated with the Latin text. But it is a matter than few Protestants spend much time considering.

To Whom is it applicable?

Here's the passage from the Catholic Public Domain Translation which is translated from the Vulgate into English. Then God, seeing that the wickedness of men was great upon the earth and that every thought of their heart was intent upon evil at all times, repented that he had made man on the...

Both Donald Trump and Joe Biden ought to enjoy their remaining years in retirement - maybe spending time with family. It isn't so good for a country to have very elderly elders running it.

I'd be happy with the CTS NCB. But a ESV Catholic Edition is fairly good and a lot of Protestants would accept it without taking out their own KJV or something similar to check that I am not cheating with a quotation. But I know I do not want no Calvinist Bible nor no Anti-Calvinist Bible -...

I do not know, I'd be guessing what God is thinking if I were to say yes or no. What do you say?

Original sin is the sin by which Adam & Eve disobeyed the commandment of God, choosing to follow their own will rather than God's expressed and loving will. As a consequence they lost the grace of Original Holiness and became subject to the law of sin and death; sin too, became universally...

None of the above.

Personal decisions, such as the ones you've mentioned, usually ought to be respected but in cases where a crime has been committed one cannot keep silent. When a silence is agreed the next time a similar crime occurs the silence keepers cannot have kept silence without some degree of culpability...

How do you know that it could not?

It shouldn't be hushed up, ever, and that is one of the worst things about how churches handle sins and crimes. Secrecy is a bad thing, we, in the pews, need to start saying so very loudly so that it can change.

Some among the elect of God, that is to say those who are to be saved, and are saved, and have always been saved, are sinners, every one it seems or at least nearly every one, some perhaps murders, some perhaps child molesters, some commit other crimes, and some no crime but other sins such as...

But whatever church you go to, it is all part of the one holy catholic and apostolic church is it not? But if you say that each individual church carried its own guilt and that no others carry it too, then how can each individual church be part of the one body of Christ? Do you see the body as...

I see that some of you have moved away from discussing what faith is - which is the topic outlined in the original post - and on to discussing Calvinist doctrine. I wish you'd keep to the thread's topic.

How do you feel about the notion of collective guilt? For example if you are in a country that did something bad recently should you feel guilty? Or if you are in a denomination that has recently been implicated in something bad, sex abuse comes to mind, and coverups, should you feel guilty...

Yep, along with many other species of parrot.

Some tried, But it is not easy to write 10 posts and get away with it :cool:
