    1st Century New Believer Teaching A

    That's the key.

    Are all people infected by sin?

    It is not "the teaching of the Orthodox Church." It is the teaching of the original Church.

    Are all people infected by sin?

    Here's my "opinion." Rom 6:1-2 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Rom 6:3-4 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we...

    Bible 101 Now What?

    Well then, I think I'll do Psalms. There is a lot of material in the NT drawn directly from the Psalms. The seminarian's "must read" book on the psalms is Praise and Lament in the Psalms by Claus Westermann. (Bring you best yoke of oxen to plough through it; he's VERRRY German. But the effort...

    Bible 101 Now What?

    Another good study is how the Tabernacle was an extensive prefiguring of Christ. M. R. DeHaan wrote a good book on that. The Tabernacle

    Bible 101 Now What?

    I'm leaning toward looking at Psalms. What say all y'all?

    Are all people infected by sin?

    OK To be understood, it would be very useful to state what you mean by the words; "religion", "belief" and "faith." I find the word "religion" used in a positive sense in the NT by James. Jas 1:26-27 If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his...

    Jhn 12:32 “And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.”

    It is beyond the ability of government to enforce morality. They can punish crime but the members of government repeatedly demonstrate an inability to determine what is moral and what is immoral.

    Are all people infected by sin?

    There are two times in the OT when God wiped out entire peoples to put an end to sin before it infected everyone; the flood and Sodom and Gomorrah. God commanded Israel to utterly destroy the inhabitants of Canaan because of their disgusting and hideous practices including child sacrifice. He...

    Are all people infected by sin?

    God gave them the choice to serve Him or other gods. Deu 30:15-20 See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, in that I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and...

    "It"?? What do you mean by "what it was like."? Please clarify.

    Are all people infected by sin?

    You are correct. The Orthodox Church believes as the original Church did.

    Deu 30:19 “I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; Jos 24:15 “And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom...

    Are all people infected by sin?

    That is the teaching of Scripture and the teaching of the very early church. There is no scriptural basis for that opinion.

    Are all people infected by sin?

    Hmmmm.....It should. I don't understand why anyone should as if we should do away with all laws. Maybe you could explain that question

    Are all people infected by sin?

    If some one has sinned (and every one has) he is "dead in his sins." The wages of sin is death. That is physical death end eternal separation from God after the resurrection. "Regeneration" happens in Baptism after they have already believed. That's when the "body of sin" is buried with Christ...
