David, Peter and Paul said Jesus' body did not see decay during the 72 hours of entombment. But Lazarus' body obviously did.

Why did God create Satan? Why does he keep him alive? What about God binding Satan in Revelation 20 only to let him loose to deceive the nations? If it is in God's power to bind him, why not just do him in permanently?

Step one = yes. The reason being that any deviation from doctrine as stated in the ecumenical creeds produces a false image of God.
Step two = For starters: “Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my w…

The Westminster Confession sums it up for me.
“The whole counsel of God, concerning all things necessary for his own glory, man’s salvation, faith, and life, is either expressly set down in scripture, or by good and necessary c…

Please consider that God and man can only choose according to their nature. But you cannot choose your nature. If you could, it would be your nature to do so.

Thanks, this is very well put. My view differs only in God using Satan as part of his eternal plan. Just as he used false prophets to thin the herd in OT times.

Thanks for sharing. But please consider: If Jesus' body did not experience decay as David, Peter and Paul say, for purely naturalistic reasons as you and DT say, then Lazarus' body also remained free from decay for an equal time perio…

Why did Jesus speak in parables?

I'm asking if God can will not to be holy? Or will to be unwise? Or will to not have perfect knowledge after having it? By this I'm saying free will does not exist in God, and much less in the creature.

Did Jesus trim his fingernails? What do you suppose happened to them if he did? I think I gave my opinion about this before. But we have no scripture to spell it out for us. But we can at least confidently say ...He Whom God raised up …

I cannot answer where scripture is silent on a matter. But scripture is not silent on Jesus' incorruptibility whether alive or in the tomb.
“Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Gho…

Peter compares corruptible things that perish with time to the Blood of Christ which is incorruptible.

Peter says the Word is incorruptible. This means it can never become corruptible. This also means that when the Word became flesh, it remained incorruptible.
Secondly Paul says we were redeemed, not by something that becomes co…

I've already shown that Peter calls the Word of God incorruptible. And John says this [incorruptible] Word became flesh. And that Christ redeemed his elect not with corruptible things that decay with time, but with the Blood of Christ.
(Quote)Your position is self refuting. You believe the incorruptible Word became corruptible flesh. And you also believe the incorruptible blood of Christ became corruptible in the tomb.
(Quote)I'm only summing up your position as being: the incorruptible Word of God became corruptible flesh. And the incorruptible blood of Christ on the cross became corruptible in the tomb.
This summarizes your position regardless of …
(Quote)Your position is as described: the incorruptible Word of God became corruptible flesh. And the incorruptible blood of Christ on the cross became corruptible in the tomb.
Peter and Paul preach a different gospel.
(Quote)I've addressed your views with scripture several times. I'm only summing up your position as being: the incorruptible Word of God became corruptible flesh. And the incorruptible blood of Christ on the cross became corruptible in the to…
(Quote)I would suggest reading the above passages to see how they align with the more clear passages of scripture.
(Quote)So your final position is: the incorruptible Word of God became corruptible flesh? And the incorruptible blood of Christ on the cross became corruptible in the tomb?
(Quote)When you say "God is not subject to His character traits. God is sovereign" you are doing the exact thing I'm addressing. God's character traits are God. So, you suggest God can decide not to be perfect, and that he created himself by …
(Quote)How does anyone know enough to will intelligence (by nature) if he doesn't already have it? Besides, you are saying God created himself and God is not created.
(Quote)Thanks for your interest in Free Will and my claim that it does not exist in God or man.
God is bound by his perfections. That is, his wisdom is perfect and is his nature. He cannot go against his nature and will something stup…

(Quote)If you think Jesus's body was subject to decay in the tomb, you preach a different gospel than Peter and Paul who both said he "didn't see decay", let alone experience.
(Quote)The contrast is not that David will be raised from dead as Christ was. No contrast here. The contrast is in the fact that David's body decayed and Jesus' body did not.
Here is another passage showing Jesus is God.
“But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.” (Acts 5:29)
“The God of our fathers raised Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree. G…
(Quote)Based on what? Paul says the wages of sin is death.
(Quote)If David died of old age and his body decayed, why would Peter and Paul use this in contrast saying it was not the case with Jesus' body? But you say that it was? You are not preaching the same gospel they preached if you teach the onl…
