Salvation 1. Call upon the name of Jesus Christ, believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, 2. confess your sin.
A Simple Answer
The Beginning of the End
The only restraint on us is the power of the Holy Spirit to convict our conscience that our actions have consequences. That's why we have guilt. We've all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, that's why we need a savior.
Sin and Corruption
Why was there a tree of knowledge of good and evil if God had created a perfect world? God didn't create a perfect world, he created a corrupted one. Now we can understand the difference between corruption and sin.
He Became Sin for Us
Christ had to become sin for us. This has a meaning which goes beyond the symbolism of Christ on the cross. It goes back to the nature of the matter of which the universe is made.
Corruption and Free Will
Free will allows a sentient being to make a decision that he or she knows is wrong. This is disobedience. God gave us the ability to be disobedient. A Biblical word for disobedience is sin.
What Fell First?
How could a corrupted world be described as very good, or perfect? Perfect means lacking nothing. The corrupted universe lacked nothing. It was perfectly suited to carry out its purpose.
God Can’t Lie
What are the logical implications of "God can't lie?" Total destruction of the popular science (SciPop) paradigm. Figuratively we're going to do to SciPop what Samson did in Lehi with a donkey's jawbone.
Reprobate Mind
We (most of us anyway) have a conscience. When we do something wrong we feel bad about it. We may even fear the consequences of what we've done, karma, coming back on us because we reap what we sow.
Nonunicornism
Atheist science trolls (ASTs) pull apparently random stuff out of thin air in their eagerness to mock people of faith, but there are some recognizable patterns. One of them is to invoke a nonentity called Nonunicornism.
Their Eyes Were Opened
Adam & Eve were held responsible for their disobedience, but the fallen state of creation is part of the plan of redemption which is what the universe was created for, so how is it Adam and Eve’s fault?
