(Stretching my five minutes.)

Since you have introduced Genesis Six, how about this verse?

And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. (Genesis 6:5)

What does this do to any contention that man can follow natural revelation and be saved? Coupled with Psalm 14 and Romans 3, it appears that man is totally incapable of any God pleasing action prior to being acted upon by the Spirit of God.

(BTW, I think that this is one of the key issues we should be discussing. All of the recent talk of Luther and the physical body of God are nothing but a smokescreen keeping us from discussing the really important things.)

Not a smokescreen because I INTENTIONALLY inserted it and admitted to doing so and admitted that I always do so when the opportunity to warn about Luther comes up.

I seized that opportunity when using James to balance our view of Romans 3. In the context of James, Luther comes up. Considering his hatred of Baptists, I'd think you'd be aat a minimum, neutral.
