It isn't "Boxcar's reply"...how many times do I have to tell you that? Whenever Boxcar wants to answer a question, he first goes to those moronic evangelical websites which supply nonsensical replies to every question that an "unbeliever" might ask.
Do you really think that Boxcar can think on his feet? He doesn't get his knowledge from the "Holy Spirit"...that's a con. Thank God for his websites.

Romans, Psalms
Romans 3:10-12 "as it is written, none is righteous no, not one, no one understands, no one seeks for GOD, all have turned aside, together they have become worthless, no one does good, not even one."
Psalms 51:5 "Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me."

Thank you. We needed that!

Anytime we have a problem, no matter it be temporal or spiritual, we must know what the problem is, define it, before we attempt to find a solution.

See what I mean? Boxcar is still busy with his evangelical websites.

No man...he's probably busy working on this handicapping program he's still putting together to beat you in the contest you'll never have with him.

Not even the "Holy Spirit" will be enough help for Boxcar if he ever decides to go up against me in a handicapping contest.

Is this just a guess or do you know for sure? Boxcar reminds me of my grandmother. She had scripture to recite for all occasions and this was pre internet. Some people have a knack for remembering things and special skills that others don't. Even if is something you would never be able to do, doesn't mean someone else can't do it. I personally have a weird memory for numbers. I can remember addresses and phone numbers from 50 years ago, I have an old address book to check my memory. Unfortunately I cannot profit off my special skills I cannot remember randomly generated numbers any better than anyone else,they have to have meant something.
Boxcar also seems to have the same opinion of sex outside of marriage as my grandma. Everybody does it, was not an acceptable defense. It could be there is a connection between those firmly against sex outside of marriage that have a mind like a steel trap when it comes to scripture. Not sure if she was an outcast at the time but she would be now, she was right wing school teacher.

Only Noah's family survived the flood...remember? So, since we are more connected to Noah than we are to Adam...why should I accept your interpretation that we all have an "evil nature"? If we all share Adam's "evil nature", as you claim...then why didn't God drown our ancestor Noah too, so he wouldn't have to deal any further with us?

Huh? "'Forgiven' descendants of Noah"? Got chapter and verse on that?
To your second question: God didn't drown Noah and his family because he saved them by his grace. God, from the very beginning has always preserved a remnant of the faithful for himself, e.g. Eve, Abel, Enoch, etc. It's not that none of these OT saints didn't have a sin nature like Adam, but each of them had genuine faith and were, therefore, justified (declared righteous) by God. At the same time, scripture says that there is not one [inherently] righteous person in his world (Rom 3:10) -- that not even the most pious of saints are free from sin (Eccl 7:20; Job 14:4; 15:14, 16; Isa 48:8, etc, etc.)
Having said that...the day is coming when the Judge of heaven and earth will judge us all and finally banish the wicked from his presence and the presence of all his saints at the New Creation, wherein only the righteous will dwell.

Yeah...that sin is called fornication. But in this day and age...everyone does it, so how wrong can it be. The "scientific consensus" says it just can't be.

As current social mores mandate the "have a take, don't suck" approach in these pedantic days I offer a link to a Virginia area blog which ruminates on the shooting. "Was he raised by wolves?" https://www.baconsrebellion.com/wp/d...se-even-worse/

"Invisible hands are pulling us this way and that", Plato said 2,500 years ago...and this was widely understood then, just as it's widely understood now. In my almost 62 years of living...I have not met a single person who feels that he/she is "totally in charge" of his/her journey upon this earth. This may surprise you, but Christians aren't the only ones who acknowledge the presence of a "world that we can't see".
I do wish that the young man made his video a little longer in order to allow Tucker Carlson to expand upon some of the "unbelievable drama" that he encountered in the bible. Because the Carlson fragments that this video presents create more questions than they provide answers.
