Plese do your homewark and you will see that original sin never came from the bible, but from the pagan teachings of Augustine! Many posts her on original sin and how it was invented, but widlt accepted by most professing Christians today!
The Predictable outcome of the sin nature absurdity:
The sin nature teaching promotes the falsehood that if someone can stop sinning they could save themselves and wouldn’t need Jesus. Logically this would also have to translate into anyone claiming to overcome an addiction being branded a liar. (Since according to the inbred sin theory no one can) But we all know that the reverse is true, people can and DO Stop their addiction to sinful behavior daily by making a determined effort to change.
Changing inner desires is in YOUR hands, that’s why the Scripture constantly beseech you to ‘amend’ your ways, ‘cease’ to do evil, ‘Strive’ to make a Vehement effort to get Clear of your wrong doings! The Word Strive is ‘agonizomia’, which transliterates into our English word for AGONY. It means literally to: ‘Contend, Struggle and endeavor with strenuous zeal to obtain something’ … WHY would God ask us to do something He knows we are incapable of doing? ‘You should rule over it!’ He said. Was He taunting us???
Is it enough for you to believe the common cop out …. That God is commanding us to do the impossible to show us we can’t, so just Trust Him instead? WHERE in the Bible is such non-sense implied? FIND IT IF YOU CAN!!! If not Stop lying to yourself that’s its impossible to reform your ways. Repentance Proven by deeds is NOT ‘saving yourself’, it’s what the Lord has decreed in order to return mankind to favor with God!
and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Lk24:47
Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, Matt3:8
The ‘Fruits’ (Deeds) Worthy of Repentance is getting CLEAR of your wrong doing NOT blubbering to your friends that ‘no one’ can stop sinning … or pretending you’re saving yourself if you do stop. Do you even realize how foolish it is to blame your addiction to sin on Adam, and then turn to the ear ticklers who ‘torture’ the Scriptures (2Pet3:16) ‘Stretching’ them (as on a rack!) beyond the limits of reason!?
Isaiah said: Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isa5:20. BUT honestly isn’t that precisely what the ‘believers’ are doing by castigating the Pure of heart (who have ‘ceased’ from sin 1Pet4:1-2) by calling them Self-Righteous and Puffed up and ‘holier than thou’, because they call you to Repentance proven by deeds? Wrongdoing doesn’t have a leg to stand on in the Bible! ‘GOD IS ANGRY WITH THE SINNER EVERYDAY!’ Ps7:11. These absurdities make Christ a Minister of Sin and force you to argue in FAVOR of it! What further Proof do you need than your own failed existence? You wallow in the gutters of shame and cry out for deliverance but when it comes in the Out Stretched hand of God you DISPISE it because you’re not ‘Willing’ to Obey!
Because I have called and you refused, I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded, Because you disdained all my counsel, And would have none of my rebuke, I also will laugh at your calamity ;I will mock when your terror comes, When your terror comes like a storm, And your destruction comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you. Proverbs1:24-27
The Absurdities of common belief NOT found in the Bible:
Substitution, as in the Provisional Gospel Package
Moral Transfer (imputation) of Christ’s Righteousness to the sinner
Past, Present and Future sins forgiven
Eternal Security
Sinning daily in thought, word and deed
No one is perfect
Born in sin, saved in sin, can never stop sinning
Repeat after me Salvation, faith alone myth
All sin is the same
Carnal Christians
Sit down with your Bible, search the pages of Scripture and see if you can draw a Valid hypothesis using any of the terms above. Be honest for a change. Haven’t you had your fill of sin? What has it brought you but shame on top of more shame….wrecked marriages, unwed mothers, abandon children, sexual perversions, drunkenness, arrest, imprisonments, vile addictions and insanity? You’re living a LIE and it will only end in destruction! WHY Continue to drag God into the Pig Pen with you and claim His Mercy when your own conscience condemns the utter humiliation you have made out of your life.
Face up and Fess up. The Narrow Road to recovery begins when come clean with God, Stop playing the fool and FORSAKE the Evil of your Doings.
