Download or read book Born Bad written by James Boyce and published by SPCK. This book was released on 2016-04-21 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the doctrine of original sin, all humans are born bad and only God’s grace can bring salvation. James Boyce shows how these ideas have shaped the Western view of human nature, and how the belief that we are all innately sinful retains a firm grip on Western consciousness and culture – even in the writings of avowed atheists such as Marx and Freud. Born Bad traces a fascinating journey from Adam and Eve all the way to Adam Smith and Richard Dawkins in this sweeping story of a controversial idea and its remarkable influence.

Download or read book Shaped in Iniquity Conceived in Sin written by Barry Ross and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a newborn child is born into the world the parents assume that the newborn is pure and innocent. The parents are filled with joy at the newborn's arrival. How pure and innocent the child appear to our natural mind. However looks are deceiving as in such cases. David, the Psalmist realized this truth, that although the newborn child appear to be pure and innocent, the truth is, the child is not! The bible paints an entirely different picture, in that, the child is born a sinner, spiritually dead on arrival with the fallen nature of Adam! The bible declare, "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" When looking in the natural realm, it will appear that humans were "born to die!" When looking in the spiritual realm one finds that death was not God's plan for humans. Had Adam and Eve taken of the tree of life, which was also in the midst of the garden of Eden they would have lived without ever dying: the tree of life was one of the trees in the garden that God did not forbid them to eat of. It was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, that was forbidden. Immediately, upon eating of the forbidden fruit, sin entered the spirit of their minds, corrupting the image of God in them, their minds became twisted, hostile towards God: death is the penalty for sin! It is why humans die, yes, even the newborn child is born with an automatic death sentence as a descendant of Adam! This is why David declared, "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me (Psalm-51:5)! David realized that he was "fearfully and wonderfully made," yet he acknowledged his sinful nature from the moment of conception! In eternity past, God predestined the lives of all humans in general, who have been born into this world, even prior to their conception. God said of Rebecca's twins (Jacob and Esau) before either had been born or had did neither good or evil, that the elder child would serve the younger for he said, "Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated." This was so that the predestined will of God's purpose according to God's choice would stand! What God predestined in eternity past God created in time: and in "time," the hands of divine providence, executes exactly, what God predestined in eternity past, prior to creation! Everything that God created serves God's purpose, be it evil (Pharaoh) or be it good (Moses)! God is in control of his entire creation, and direct the thing created to its end for which the thing was created, not a bird fall from the sky without his knowledge! God according to the bible have predestined some to eternal salvation, yet others, to eternal damnation, as all men have not faith! This book, inspired of God will open your eyes to the truth of God's word, and will help you understand God's predestined will, and divine providence! Until these two significant doctrines (teachings) are comprehended, you will never comprehend God! Scripture declare, "To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die:" yet in another place the question is asked, "Why die before your time?" These verses deal with predestination, and divine providence. This book, will help you really come to see, and to know God Almighty in a way that you never have before, and will draw you closer to him! As the newborn child on the cover of this book, is born into the world (into time) the child, like you and I isn't here (in time) to stay! God, have brought us from eternity past, placed us into time, taking us back into eternity by means of death; different ways but identical results, in that, by some means, we die! We have from the time of birth, to adulthood, to death in which one must be "reconciled to God" through Christ, by God's Spirit in us, that we put to death, the sinful nature of Adam, becoming partakers of God's divine nature! Jesus said it this way,"Ye must be born again!"
Download or read book Adam the Fall and Original Sin written by Michael R. E. Reeves and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2014-10-28 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Christian doctrines of original sin and the historical fall of Adam have been in retreat since the rise of modernity. Here leading scholars present a theological, biblical, and scientific case for the necessity of belief in original sin and the historicity of Adam and Eve in response to contemporary challenges. Representing various Christian traditions, the contributors shed light on recent debates as they present the traditional doctrine of original sin as orthodox, evangelical, and the most theologically mature and cogent synthesis of the biblical witness. This fresh look at a heated topic in evangelical circles will appeal to professors, students, and readers interested in the creation-evolution debate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever asked yourself what changed when you were "born again?" You look in the mirror and see the same reflection - your body hasn't changed. You find yourself acting the same and yielding to those same old temptations - that didn't seem to change either. So you wonder, Has anything really changed? The correct answer to that question is foundational for receiving from God. If you lack this basic understanding, you'll forever ask yourself doubt-filled questions like: "How could God love somebody like me?" and "How can I possibly expect to receive anything from the Lord? I don't deserve it, I'm not good enough!" Spirit, Soul, and Body will help you eliminate those and other doubt-filled questions that destroy your faith. If you have trouble receiving from God, this is a must-read!
Download or read book The Spiritual Condition of Infants written by Adam Harwood and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the spiritual condition of infants? According to the Augustinian-Calvinist view, all people inherit from the first Adam both a sinful nature and his guilt. The result is that all infants are subject to the judgment of God against their nature before they knowingly commit any sinful actions. But is this the clear teaching of Scripture? In The Spiritual Condition of Infants, Adam Harwood examines ten relevant biblical texts and the writings of sixteen theologians in order to clarify the spiritual condition of infants. Although no passage explicitly states the spiritual condition of infants, each text makes contributions by addressing the doctrines of man, sin, the church, and salvation. If this biblical-historical analysis exposes the traditional Augustinian-Calvinist view to be inadequate, then is it possible to construct an alternate view of the spiritual condition of infants? Such a view should remain faithful to the biblical emphasis on humankind's connection to Adam and his sin but also recognize the guilt and condemnation of an individual only in the manner and time that God does in Scripture. That is the aim of this book.

Download or read book Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion written by David Hume and published by . This book was released on 1779 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion is a philosophical work written by the Scottish philosopher David Hume. Through dialogue, three fictional characters named Demea, Philo, and Cleanthes debate the nature of God's existence. While all three agree that a god exists, they differ sharply in opinion on God's nature or attributes and how, or if, humankind can come to knowledge of a deity. In the Dialogues, Hume's characters debate a number of arguments for the existence of God, and arguments whose proponents believe through which we may come to know the nature of God. Such topics debated include the argument from design - for which Hume uses a house - and whether there is more suffering or good in the world (Argument from evil)

Download or read book Sin Bravely written by Maggie Rowe and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tour de force, voice-driven debut that examines how one woman finally found the middle ground between Heaven and Hell--an NPR Best Book of the Year. As a young girl, Maggie Rowe took the idea of salvation very seriously. Growing up in a moderately religious household, her fear of eternal damnation turned into a childhood terror that drove her to become an outrageously dedicated Born-again Christian —regularly slinging Bible verses in cutthroat scripture memorization competitions and assaulting strangers at shopping malls with the “good news” that they were going to hell. Finally, at nineteen, crippled by her fear, she checked herself in to an Evangelical psychiatric facility. And that is where her journey really began. Surrounded by a ragtag cast of characters, including a former biker meth-head struggling with anger management issues, a set of identical twins tormented by erotic fantasies, a World War II veteran and artist of denial who insists that he’s only “locked up for a tune-up,” and a warm and upbeat chronic depressive who becomes the author’s closest ally, Maggie launches a campaign to, in the words of Martin Luther, "Sin bravely in order to know the forgiveness of God."
