    based on 26 ratings
     | 3,461 views

    A man has an essential relation to the earth (Adama), that he belongs to the earthly sphere below. The word ‘Human’ is derived from ‘Humus’. Man is capable of auto-determination. He is free, has free will to decide the course of life.

    The Bible teaches only the true Gospel which involves every "sinner" being saved: 1) according to God's Grace; 2) by faith in Jesus Christ alone; 3) having absolutely nothing to do with good works. This is what we believe!

    The Harsh Reality And Unavoidable Issue Of Sin

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Oct 13, 2021
     | 2,038 views

    Sin is a serious and destructive fact of life. We define it as a series of "mistakes", "errors of judgment", or "bad behavior". We need to see sin for what it is -an abomination in the sight of a Holy God (Ezekiel 18:20; Romans 6:23).

    Modern society more and more makes very little of or does not even bother to think about sin as a serious and destructive fact of life. There are varying attitudes towards the subject of sin. Some view the idea as an illusion, the construction of ancient religious fanatics, or fantasy. Many deny ...read more
