SALVATION! HOW CAN I BE SAVED?
Oct 24, 2009

ROMANS 5: 12-20
12.) Adam sinned, and that sin brought death unto the world. Now everyone has sinned, and so everyone must die. 13.) Sin was in the world before the law came. But no record of sin was kept, because there was no law. 14.) Yet death still had power over all who lived from the time of Adam to the time of Moses. This happened although not everyone disobeyed a direct command of God, the way Adam did.
In some ways Adam is like Christ who came later. 15.) But the gift that God was kind enough to give was very different from Adam's sin. That one sin gave death to many others. Yet in an even greater way, Jesus Christ alone brought God's gift of kindness to many other people.
16.) There is a big difference between Adam's sin and God's gift. That one sin led to punishment. But God's gift made it possible for us to be acceptable to him, even though we have sinned many times. 17.) Death ruled like a King because Adam sinned. But that can not compare to what Jesus Christ had done. God has been kind to us, and he has accepted us because of Jesus. And so we will live and rule like Kings.
18.) Everyone was going to be punished because  Adam sinned. But because of the good thing that Christ has done, God accepts us and gives us the gift of life. 19.) Adam disobeyed God, and caused many others to be sinners., But Jesus obeyed him and will make many people acceptable to God.
20.) The law came, so that the full power of sin could be seen. Yet where sin was powerful, God's kindness was even more powerful. 21.) Sin ruled by means of death. But God's kindness now rules, and God has accepted us because of Jesus Christ our Lord. This means that we will have eternal life

Today Mark called and was talking about studying systematic theology being like wading through prodige. Without thinking I made a Davidism and said systematic pordige can be interesting though. :D

I recently started to re-read Harper Lee's amazing novel, To Kill A Mockingbird. This story is about racism in the deep south (USA) of the 1930s. In the story Atticus (named no doubt after the Greek philosopher) uses a lovely phrase about how we can...

Today someone told me that the best way to prove that a pacifist person is wrong is for a pro-war person to keep punching them until they fight back, thus making the pro- war person win the moral argument. Aside from the term moral argument being use...
