Hello,
everyone! May you all have a wonderful day celebrating our freedom.
Just as our American freedom was bought by blood and war, so is our
Christian liberty. Jesus purchased our freedom from eternal death by
pouring out his life in exchange for ours even though he had never
done anything wrong! Think of John 3:16, “For God so loved the
world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should
not perish but have eternal life.” God, the Creator of the Universe
loved us so much, even when we had turned our backs on Him and become
evil, that to save us from eternal separation from Him, He sent His
only Son to die our death. To free us! And that is the best freedom
of all! Although I am truly grateful for my freedom as an American
citizen, I am even more thankful for my liberty where my true
citizenship is—heaven! Thank you, Jesus, that I am free and
forgiven despite my many sins! Thank you that I have my true
citizenship in heaven and that you sent your perfect son to give me
this freedom from Satan's grasp!Saturday, July 4, 2015
Are you celebrating your TRUE citizenship?

DeleteARE INFANTS, THE UNBORN, AND YOUNG CHILDREN SINNERS? BY STEVE FINNELL
ReplyDeleteAre infants, unborn children, and young children sinners? Of course they are not sinners. To believe that you would have to believe the false doctrine of original sin. There is no Biblical evidence that men are now nor were they ever guilty of Adam's sin. Men die physically because of Adam's sin. Men die spiritually because the the sins they themselves commit.
Romans 9:11 (for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil......(NKJV)
The unborn cannot commit evil.
Deuteronomy 1:34-39 ......39 'Moreover your little ones and your children, who you will be victims, who today have no knowledge of good and evil, they shall go in there; to them I will give it, and they shall possess it. (NKJV)
The Lord does not punish children for the sins of their fathers nor for the sin of Adam.
Isaiah 7:14-16 ...Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. 15 "Curds and honey He shall eat, that He may know to refuse the evil and choose the good. 16. "For before the Child shall know to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land that you dread will be forsaken by both her kings.(NKJV)
Even Jesus had an age of accountability. Jesus had to reach an age where He knew right from wrong before He could be charged with committing sin. Infants, the unborn, and small children have to reach a certain age before they can be guilty of sin. Jesus was not guilty of Adam's sin nor did He Himself commit sin.
The doctrine of original sin and infant baptism is a man-made tradition.
Matthew 18: 2-3 ..."Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter into the the kingdom of heaven. (NKJV)
Certainly Jesus was not saying you have to be guilty of original sin like these children to enter into heaven. Little children are not guilty of Adam's sin nor any other kind of sin.
Hebrews 2:10-17....17 Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. (NKJV)
In order to believe the false doctrine of original sin you would have to believe that Jesus was guilty of Adam's sin and therefore a sinner from birth. Jesus had to made like us in every respect.
Jesus was born like us all. NOT GUILTY OF ADAM'S SIN NOR ANY OTHER SIN.
Men are only guilty of the sins they themselves commit at the point when they can distinguish good from evil. Yes, there is an age of accountability.
You can believe the false doctrine of original sin and of children sinners that is written in man-made creed books or you can believe God's word as recorded in the Bible.
