Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “It’s all Adam’s fault!” OK. Then you have just condemned yourself to a Christless eternity! Reflect carefully on the statement just made. In an earlier volume on the doctrine of original sin: Condemned Already, we noted, that if Adam is to be blamed for our condemnation, then we have to address the reason for his condemnation. Adam was innocent until he sinned in regard to the prohibition of the Tree of Life. At that point he “died”. Spiritually he was cut-off and alienated from God and out of fellowship, and God immediately announced His already-prepared plan of rescue. The Son of the descendant of the woman (Eve)—the Lord Jesus Christ—would bruise the serpent’s head (the serpent who was the vehicle for Adam’s sin and fall through the temptation orchestrated by Satan): 15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” Genesis 3:15. The situation for Adam is clear enough. He was innocent, and then became a sinner, by sinning. We can easily identify the CAUSATIVE sin that was responsible for his demise—his default in regard to the Tree of Life. But if Adam’s sin is the CAUSATIVE sin that constitutes me a sinner—and that is the majority view—then I am condemned to a Christless eternity, all because of Adam’s sin. Supposedly in solidarity with the human race, every man woman and child of all time is condemned—not on his own account—but because of Alien Guilt inherited from Adam. Adam’s sin is thus my sin. The tragedy is, if Adam’s sin IS CAUSATIVE for me (but I don’t believe that it is) and for my condemnation (Condemned Already), then the only way that I can reverse that situation is to address the CAUSATIVE sin. But it is not my sin! And I can’t repent of another person’s sin. I can’t repent of Adam’s sin. I can’t address the foundational issue. So I can’t address the cause of my condemnation, and therefore I can’t be saved! The seriousness of this situation seems to escape most theologians. Why? This is serious. This critical issue was the basis of that first volume, and was the central issue that was addressed, demonstrating that we are each personally CULPABLE and responsible to God for our sin—the CAUSATIVE sin that constituted EACH of us as a sinner. And hence we are condemned JUSTLY and PERSONALLY. All people of all time are individually responsible for their own sin and hence of their condemnation. That being the case, they can—indeed MUST—repent of their own sin in order to be saved. Thus God is just in His demands and fair in his expectations based upon the finished work of Christ. As far as the Christian is concerned, “The Old Man died, never to rise again”. The Old Man is dead! And yet I repeatedly hear people excusing themselves for their sin, because, “The Old Man affected me and compelled me”. Or more commonly, they use the term “the sin nature”. “I was influenced by my sin nature/old nature”. See extra discussion on the Natures in Chapter 2. It’s not my fault!! • As a non-Christian, we could blame Adam for making me a sinner. • Now as a Christian, who do I blame for my daily sins? We just don’t want to accept responsibility for our actions. The first volume addressed our culpability for our CAUSATIVE sin. The sin that constituted me a sinner in the first place. This volume addresses our culpability for our sin as a Christian. We need to start our search here at precisely this point, a careful exegesis of the biblical teaching concerning the Old Man.
Download or read book The Death of a Nobody written by Jules Romains and published by . This book was released on 1914 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of this modern classic is not a man. "It is an event," says Jules Romains, who is considered "the French Dos Passos." The event starts with the death of Jacques Godard, a man of no importance. It unfolds through his brief survival in the minds of others - the porter of his tenement in Paris, his fellow lodgers, a few acquaintances, his old father, who comes up from the country for the funeral, a young stranger who feels that the dead pass into "a great soul that cannot die." The event expresses Romains's belief in "collective beings," the famous theory of "Unanimism." In dramatizing his theory, Romains developed an advanced motion-picture technique when films were in their infancy, a technique of group portraits and sudden shifts from scene to scene that keeps this work far ahead of conventional novels. Here, Romains explores the ideas and the devices used in his twenty-seven-volume masterpiece, Men of Good Will, which André Maurois calls "the boldest attempt to describe completely his own time that any French novelist has made since Balzac."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Peter grants Michelangelo a vacation request, allowing him to travel to the twentieth century to view art. Not only does Michelangelo want to see what artists have been creating after his death but he also desires confirmation that his own work is remembered. As Michelangelo roams about New York City he meets a variety of people who attempt to help him make sense of modern sculpture, painting and architecture. Michelangelo compares everything he sees to specific works he created throughout his life. He finally meets Vinnie, a tough city boy, who agrees to help with his journey. Trying to convince contemporary society what 'real art' is becomes infuriating as Michelangelo holds amusing discussions about enlarged, abstract geometric shapes, gigantic statues rising out of the river, graffiti, tattoos, and more which he vehemently contends cannot be art. His conversations reflect his historical interactions with political figures who commissioned art, his family and other noteworthy artists. Time is running out as St. Peter has allowed Michelangelo to spend only three weeks in the twentieth century. Michelangelo's frustration mounts as he struggles to comprehend the modern world and educate people on the art of the past.

Book excerpt: DEADWOOD, DAKOTA TERRITORIES, 1876: Legendary gunman Wild Bill Hickcock and his friend Charlie Utter have come to the Black Hills town of Deadwood fresh from Cheyenne, fleeing an ungrateful populace. Bill, aging and sick but still able to best any man in a fair gunfight, just wants to be left alone to drink and play cards. But in this town of played-out miners, bounty hunters, upstairs girls, Chinese immigrants, and various other entrepeneurs and miscreants, he finds himself pursued by a vicious sheriff, a perverse whore man bent on revenge, and a besotted Calamity Jane. Fueled by liquor, sex, and violence, this is the real wild west, unlike anything portrayed in the dime novels that first told its story.

Book excerpt: One surprise deserves another. “Think you’ll need any help, Sergeant?” Lieutenant Wynn asked Matt Rudd. “I don’t think so, sir,” Rudd said. “Kuzniki is a dangerous, but he doesn’t know I’m here.” “O.K.,” Wynn said. “I’m going to lunch.” With his back to the door, Rudd hadn’t seen Kuzniki enter the hotel lobby. As he turned around, Kuzniki’s hand darted to a shoulder holster and he swept out a .38 automatic. Rudd froze in position, then slowly raised his hands. “You must be slowing down, Matt,” Kuzniki said. “First time I’ve been able to take you.” “It’ll be the last, too,” Rudd said angrily. “That’s right, Matt—I’ll see to that.”
