Thank you, Sower.

"For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out"

"For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh [my human nature, my worldliness—my sinful capacity]. For the willingness [to do good] is present in me, but the doing of good is not." Rom 7 and 8

Thank you folks.Some good responses and I applaud the restraint.

God Bless.

Yes. Scripture teaches that in Adam, ALL sinned. Therfore we were all born into sin. We are not sinners because we sin. We sin because we are sinners, and yes there is a difference.

Doctrines abut elections, predestination, and all of those related things, are in house discussions, not for the unbeliever

Are unbelievers allowed to view the general discussion and or theology boards? I think I read they can’t post everywhere but can they read everything?

If they can that’s the reason I posted what I did so they can see the good news that they are included.

There are some areas where they cannot read, and some areas where anyone can read, but only if they are signed it. other areas are available to anyone to read, some areas only unbelievers and ministry team members have access, it varies depending on the purpose, but we try to include most everyone, unless they get into terms of service issues.
The general discussion area, is wide open.

I started an OP recently where I asked the question, “is faith something you do”.

It resulted in some good discussion with good points made helping all to better understand what others thought.

This next question: “do you believe in original sin”?Meaning that the sinful nature is passed down to each member of Adam’s race or not?

I will make clear the reason for the OP after a while. Let’s try to keep this simple and spook free.

I believe Satan committed the original sin, and the origin of sin can be traced to him; but yes Adam and Eve committed the original human sin and as a result all humans are dead in trespasses and sins and by nature children of wrath until they are regenerated by God.  

Gal 3:22  But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

Eph 2:1-3  And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins,  (2)  in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,  (3)  among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.

Amen we are all the same in Christ. None better than the other.
