There were “heathen and infidel writers” in the 2nd and 3rd century that quoted several of the same passages in their writings that the “Church Fathers” did. The most important thing to remember about the Bible and how we got it is found in II Timothy 3:16-17, “all scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect [complete], thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” Lawrence Robinson Works Cited Overby, Coleman (1937), Scriptural Surveys (Austin, Jackson, Wayne (1986), Background Bible Study Jackson, Wayne (1974), Fortify Your Faith |
Original Sin?,(continued from page 3) statues, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal? When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die. Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.” Please turn in your Bibles and read verses 29 through 32.
