WHAT THE SCRIPTURE REALLY SAYS! PART 7

WHAT THE SCRIPTURE REALLY SAYS!

WHAT "YOUR" BIBLE SAYS!

Part 7

We have looked at the following Scriptures:  I Corinthians 15:22, Romans 5:18, Romans 5:19, Romans 5:15, Romans 5:10.

There is no denying nor debate.  The Scripture is so plain, that I would think anyone could understand.

The POWER of CHRIST triumphs over anything that happened in Adam!

If in Adam all die ~ most assuredly IN CHRIST [ALL] are made alive!

If by one man, the whole human race was affected, how much more > MUCH MORE > by ONE MAN > salvation has come to ALL HUMANITY!

If ALL were affected by ADAM ... (most agree on this one)

Then ALL were affected by CHRIST!  If Christ lost one person, then the power of Adam would be greater!

If one person and his disobedience caused such a problem ...

Surely God could reconcile ... and He did!

Religion will tell us differently.  You must do something!  What?  Did we (presently) bring sin into the world? No!  Why are we responsible?  God has forgiven man.  Christ reversed the curse!

Many forget that the New Covenant is unilateral ~ does not require one thing on your part.

You cannot earn Salvation!  Salvation is of God.  Works are good, but works will not save you!  You work because you are saved.

God has given us [ALL] ... the gift of ETERNAL LIFE!

This is the Good News of the Gospel.  The Law never brought it, but pointed us to Christ > who did. And, Christ was successful!

It is done ~ It is finished!

Now, may all see it together:  The Salvation of our God!

WHAT THE SCRIPTURE REALLY SAYS!

WHAT "YOUR" BIBLE SAYS!

Part 6

"For if, WHEN WE WERE enemies, WE WERE RECONCILED to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, WE SHALL BE SAVED BY HIS LIFE."  Romans 5:10 KJV.

FOR IF (a conditional clause)

WHEN WE [WERE] (past tense) - enemies

WE [WERE] (past tense) RECONCILED

To God by the death of his Son

MUCH MORE ~ (certain)

Being Reconciled (already)

WE SHALL BE SAVED BY HIS LIFE (His Life) ~ Because of His Life.

"Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus > before the world began."  2 Timothy 1:9 KJV

WHAT THE SCRIPTURE REALLY SAYS! PART 5

WHAT THE SCRIPTURE REALLY SAYS!

WHAT "YOUR" BIBLE SAYS!

Part 5 

"[For if] through the offense of ONE [MANY] be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by ONE MAN, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto [MANY]."  Romans 5:15

[For if] ... these two words in the sentence are important!

A conditional clause...

FOR IF it is true what happened through the offense of one many be dead ... it is equally true ... much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

And then the two words in the middle of the sentence:  MUCH MORE ...

If it is true that the offense was of ONE ~ and many be dead

Then, MUCH MORE the grace of God, and the gift by grace came by ONE MAN, Jesus Christ

MUCH MORE ~ More Powerfully So!  (elaborate later)

Notice:  It is a GIFT by GRACE

And hath abounded unto [MANY]

The same [MANY] in the first part of the verse ~ sentence is the same [MANY] in the last part of the verse.

(My emphasis on Scripture)

WHAT THE SCRIPTURE REALLY SAYS!

WHAT "YOUR" BIBLE SAYS!

Part 4

"[For as] by one man's disobedience [MANY] were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall [MANY] be made righteous."  Romans 5:19 KJV

FOR AS (as it is -true- in the first part, it is -true- in the second)

By ONE MAN'S disobedience,

MANY were made sinners

So (likewise)

BY the obedience of ONE

>SHALL<  (not maybe) 

MANY (same many)

Be made righteous.

WHAT THE SCRIPTURE REALLY SAYS!

WHAT "YOUR" BIBLE SAYS!

Part 3

"Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon [ALL MEN] to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon [ALL MEN] to justification of life."  Romans 5:18 KJV

THEREFORE (for that reason, consequently, hence)

AS (to the same degree)

By the offence of one > judgment came upon > ALL MEN > to condemnation

EVEN SO (as it is so) > in the first part of the verse, (it is so) > in the last part

By the righteousness of one > the free gift > came upon > ALL MEN > to justification of life.

By the offence of one

By the righteousness of one

Judgment came upon all men

The free gift came upon all men

To condemnation

To justification of life

All Men

All Men

Notice:  I am yet to make a statement.  Just the scripture!

WHAT THE SCRIPTURE REALLY SAYS! PART 2

WHAT THE SCRIPTURE REALLY SAYS!

WHAT "YOUR" BIBLE SAYS!

PART 2

Previously in Part 1, we shared the following Scriptures from the Kings James Version of the Bible:

I Corinthians 15:22 ~ Romans 5:18 ~ Romans 5:19 ~ Romans 5:15 ~ Romans 5:10.

Let's look at each one of these verses...let's pay close attention to the wording!

"For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive."  ~I Corinthians 15:22.

The first two words are vitally important:  FOR AS! ...[For as] it is in the first part of the verse ... it is equally as true in the last part of the verse.

Let's look a the middle of the verse:  EVEN SO!

Even So ... as it is so in the first part of the verse ~ sentence ~ it is equally so in the last part of the verse ~ sentence!

This is important to the meaning of the entire sentence!

FOR AS it is in the first part of the sentence > EVEN SO (it is equally so) in the last part of the verse ~ sentence! 

FOR AS in Adam all die, EVEN SO in Christ shall all be made alive.

Now let's look at the next important wording:

For as IN ADAM all die, even so IN CHRIST shall all be made alive.

The first part of the verse say IN ADAM ~ the last part says IN CHRIST.

FOR AS > IN ADAM

EVEN SO > IN CHRIST

Now the next part:

In Adam > ALL DIE

[even so]

In Christ > SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE

So it is true!

The first part of the verse says, For as IN ADAM [ALL] DIE

Even so:

IN CHRIST SHALL [ALL] BE MADE ALIVE

The [ALL] in the first part of the verse means ALL!

Likewise, the same [ALL] is applied to the last part of the verse!

ALL ~ SAME ALL ~ What does ALL mean?  ALL means ALL!

Everyone ~ ALL of us!

IN ADAM [ALL] ~ IN CHRIST [ALL]

We will continue with looking at the Scriptures ~ what the Bible really says ~ without any doubt or debate. 

Scripture will interpret Scripture!

WHAT THE SCRIPTURE REALLY SAYS! PART 1

WHAT THE SCRIPTURE REALLY SAYS!

WHAT "YOUR" BIBLE SAYS!

Part 1

Is what you heard really what the Scripture says?  For this article, I will use the King James Version, since many adhere to this translation ... but, do we really quote it as written; do we understand what we read?  

I will be writing more on this ... but for this week ... let's read, and ponder on the following verses of scripture:

"For as IN ADAM [ALL DIE], even so IN CHRIST shall [ALL BE MADE ALIVE]."  I Corinthians 15:22

"Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon [ALL MEN] to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon [ALL MEN] unto justification of life."  Romans 5:18

"[For as] by one man's disobedience [MANY] were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall [MANY] be made righteous."  Romans 5:19

Let me also insert this scripture:

"...For if through the offense of ONE [MANY] be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by ONE MAN, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto [MANY]."  Romans 5:15

And this one:

"For if, WHEN WE WERE enemies, WE WERE RECONCILED to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, WE SHALL BE SAVED BY HIS LIFE."  Romans 5:10

Read these scriptures over and over...let's pay attention to every word written! 

(note: my emphasis applied on scriptures above)
