There Is A Time For...

Contributed by Dusan Tillinger on Dec 31, 2011

The biblical teacher in Ecclesiastes has one great advantage over us. In everything he says he is counting on God.

For a long time, the biblical wisdom: “There is a time for everything and a season for every activity...“, used to seem very general to me. It is a beautiful poem – that´s true – but the idea itself appeared so obvious that there was no need to pay any special attention to ...read more

Is The Doctrine Of "Original Sin" Really Scriptural?

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Sep 5, 2002

The doctrine of "Original Sin" basically states that Adam’s guilt has been passed down to each member of the human race. Thus, we are born condemned sinners. We are separated from God and His grace from birth. We are born spiritually dead. Only the blood of Christ can remove the stain and guilt of ...read more
