So it's been a minute since I've shared a post... Life has encountered some
significant changes, things I had to go along with no matter what, other
changes I had to make and I must say, "Thank You Lord for the
change!" I have faced many difficulties in these short 26 almost 27 years
that I have been on this earth but God is faithful and just. They have always
come in different forms, different faces, and different flavors and designed to
take me out but I chose for them to help build character in me. :-)
I've been realizing that the things I've been facing lately are
NOTHING compared to what I have already overcome through Christ. The difference is, the enemy is
trying to amplify these things to make it seem like I'm becoming overwhelmed
BUT, the devil is a liar! One thing I hold on to dearly is 1 John 4:4 that
reminds me that greater is He that is within me than he that's in the world.
Every outside force, demoniacal influence, person, whatever is no comparison to
the Christ who abides in me and inhabits me. This is a new day, a new week, a
fresh start and I'm unstoppable because of whose I am and who I am!
Lord,
Today my prayer is simple...I thank You for being everything to me,
my all in all, removing all distractions (whether good or bad), and being
glorified in my life. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You and I choose to give You
my YES to Your will and plan for my life. I love You more than words could ever
express. In Jesus name I pray, amen!
ORIGINAL SIN ROMANS 5:19 BY STEVE FINNELL
ReplyDeleteAre all men guilty of sin because of Adam's sin in the Garden of Eden? No, they are not. Will men spend eternity in hell because Adam sinned? No, they will not.
Original advocates present Romans 5:19 as a proof-text for original sin.
Romans 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man's obedience many will be made righteous.(NKJV)
The theory is that because Adam was disobedient in the Garden of Eden, then all men are guilty of sin at birth. Men are guilty of sin because they sin, not because Adam sinned.
Are all men made righteous because of the obedience of Jesus? No, they are not. Men become righteous only if they are obedient to the gospel plan of salvation.
All men are not sinners because Adam sinned.
All men are not righteous because Jesus did not sin.
Romans 3:23 for have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (NKJV)
All men become sinners because all men sin.
1 John 3:4 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.(NKJV)
All who commit sin are sinners. Being born is not committing sin. Being born is not a lawless act.
James 1:14-15 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15 Then, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. (NKJV)
Temptation comes before sin. Babies in the womb are not tempted. Infants do give into the desires of fornication, drunkenness, theft, murder etc. Only those who know good from evil are capable of sin.
Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned---(NKJV) [BECAUSE ALL SINNED]
Adam introduce sin into the world. All men will die physically because of Adam' sin. Men will suffer spiritual death, because they themselves sinned.
2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgement of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.(NKJV)
Men will be judged according to things they have done. Men are not going to be judged by what Adam and Eve did in the Garden of Eden.
The only way to escape the punishment of sin is forgiveness through Jesus Christ.
ORIGINAL SIN IS NOT FOUND IN THE BIBLE, IT IS A MAN-MADE DOCTRINE.
