As Gen 2:17, Rom 6:23 and other passages tell us, we die and are condemned when we sin. Each person is condemned because of his own sin, not his father's, not his son's (Eze 18:20). So each person dies when he himself sins, and each person is condemned because of his own actions (2 Cor 5:10, Rom 2:6, Rev 20,13).
Indeed it does. But in the context, these passages are not talking about just some of the people outside of Israel. It says the "whole world"; it says "all people".
Your opinion on what God told Rebecca is noted. Thank you.
That still doesn't indicate knowledge of good and evil.
No, He didn't. He told us that the two would become nations. And that they would fight each other even from before the patriarchs of those nations were born. There is nothing political about brothers fighting each other. Nor does this fighting before birth indicate a knowledge of good and evil.
anymore. than someone accepting the rescuers help to save them from something they are totally unable to help themselves with.
You are living in the year 2025.
in case you missed it
Why do you think Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it....
Great post!You are living in the year 2025.
By the minor fact that you post on here either by computer or some cell device it is clear you are not living in a cave, without electricity, or any possibility of knowing what has gone on in the outside world.
By the fact that you are here, it is most likely that you are not over 100 years old therefore you have benefitted from books, magazines, photographs and hearing people talk.
I do not care how debased and enslaved into your sins you are unless you are deaf, and blind you cannot have escaped reading or hearing and even seeing on television, about " Jesus is the reason.
It may have been in your children first grade readers where the pictures would show a family walking to church in the snow.
But along the way there would have been somethings you would have seen... even if it was just the Salvation Army ringing their bells at Christmas time or standing outside the harness racing door entries.
And one would have to be totally strung out on drugs or drink constantly... with no break before they died... to avoid it being there.... and surly anyone with an IQ of a gnat at some point would want to at minimum ask what it was all about.
You ask " HOW DOES A PERSON ENSLAVED TO SIN MAKE SUCH A RIGHTEOUS DECISION
I am not copying this but want you to check out the link about Karla Faye Tucker..... One of the worst who found God before she was executed.
From the article:Karla Faye Tucker - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
She was executed by lethal injection on February 3, 1998. As the deadly chemicals were being administered, she praised Jesus Christ, licked her lips, looked at the ceiling, and hummed. She was pronounced dead at 6:45 p.m. C.S.T., eight minutes after receiving the injection.
The evidence is all around and at some point it has to spark a question in the minds of even the worst of the worst.
And from there decisions are made... some quick... some taking a lifetime....
Interesting article I read this AM on Richard Dawkins....
Famous Atheist Richard Dawkins Says He Considers Himself a ‘Cultural Christian’
‘I love hymns and Christmas carols and I sort of feel at home in the Christian ethos, and I feel that we are a Christian country in that sense,’ said the British author of ‘The God Delusion.’www.ncregister.com

The famous British atheist Richard Dawkins, author of the book The God Delusion, said in a recent interview that he identifies as a “cultural Christian” and prefers Christianity to Islam, although he clarified that he does not believe “a word” of the Christian faith.
In the interview with Rachel Johnson broadcast on March 31 on LBC, Dawkins said he was “slightly horrified” to learn that Oxford Street in London was promoting Ramadan, the Muslim month for fasting, instead of Easter.
Dawkins went on to explain: “I do think we are culturally a Christian country. I call myself a cultural Christian.”
“I’m not a believer, but there is a distinction between being a believing Christian and a cultural Christian,” Dawkins noted, adding: “I love hymns and Christmas carols and I sort of feel at home in the Christian ethos, and I feel that we are a Christian country in that sense.”
HE has made his decision, just like Mary Madeline O'Hare did here in the states, and never changed, yet her son became born again... and an eventual minister.
Again, propitiation for sin occurred for people outside of the jewish nation, it geographically encompasses the whole world. See even many saved jews were adverse towards Gods gracious dealing among the Gentiles/World. Even Peter as a saved jew, after the day of Pentecost after he preached, still thought gentiles were unclean See Acts 10. So the concept world was strongly emphasized as it pertain to scope of Christs Death. John was primarily a pastor/apostle to jews, his epistles would be to them Gal 2:7-9
So you are limiting "all" in these cases to just "some". But when God says that "all" have sinned, that really does mean all? Or does that only mean "some" also?Again, propitiation for sin occurred for people outside of the jewish nation, it geographically encompasses the whole world.

7 ;But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles
9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
This pretty elementary to someone who has bible understanding. And the same goes for terms like all people, the emphasis is scope
all means some, everyone means someone, up means down, left means right, yes means no, right means wrong, north means south, east means west and so on and so forth.
Yeah all in many cases more often than not means some, as in all sorts.
all never means sorts, sorts means sorts-
Thats in your mindall never means sorts, sorts means sorts-
projecting since I reject your false teaching about the gospel.
I go by the word pas :
www.blueletterbible.org
I am guessing the irony of that statement was missed. Asking irrelevant questions is evasive. Posting lame explanations for irrelevant inquiries is also evasive.
How can they reply if you have never heard of Him? LOL Still dodging. What of the millions throught history who never hear the gospel? Faith comes by hearing right???????
They’ll hear the Gospel in the Millennium before the Great White Throne Judgment.
