Original Sin 03.10.2007 55:19 ↓

To fail to fully realize the extent and state of fallen man is to fall into a dangerously incorrect understanding of God, man, and God���s grace towards man. You cannot grasp a full understanding and appreciation for the amazing grace of God unless you first grasp a full understanding and appreciation of the true spiritual condition of man. You cannot grasp a full understanding and appreciat...

The Sovereignty of God over Man 19.09.2007 1:00:14 ↓

Many object that if God is sovereign over man, then man is not responsible for his actions. Also, it is widely held that God values free will so much that He would never impinge upon that most precious of His gifts to us. However, the Bible presents numerous episodes that dispel the second objection and the Bible clearly teaches the opposite of the first objection.

However, there is one particular instance in which the reverse is true. Typically, when skeptics consider the Bible, the Bible is "guilty until proven true." Although it is not possible to verify every incident in the Bible, the discoveries of archaeology since the mid...

The Atonement: Limited or Unlimited? (Part 2) 23.05.2007 1:11:00 ↓

Did Christ die for everyone? Again, for many of us, the question is ridiculous: "Of course He did." However, there are many throughout history and today who would answer in the negative. The difference in thought on this matter has led to much controversy in the church and on some occasions, division. Several books have been written on both sides of the issue and both sides have been guilty of ove...
