1 | knowledge of sin needed for salvation? | Rom 6:23 | tortoise | 113760 | ||
Hi Makarios, The reason I ask is because a new person at church who is diligently getting into the Word, etc, cannot figure out how death results from sin. We were in a Bible study. After I and others tried to explain it for a while someone suggested that this hell and fire stuff is over stressed referring to their RC background. The study leader then said that if we can't understand the sin and death stuff that what we do is hold onto the knowledge that Christ died for us out of His love for us. I don't disagree with what the leader said. It doesn't mean that they are saved. But it says that we accept you, we don't count you as not one of us, and that if you hang in there you will get it by and by. I thought the leader gave a tenderhearted answer, because there didn't seem to be anything I could say that would draw the searcher in. I was in church for many years before I got that straightened out, and I am glad others made me feel welcome until I got it. tortoise |

2 | knowledge of sin needed for salvation? | Rom 6:23 | Makarios | 113826 | ||
Greetings Tortoise, I am glad that patience and gentleness won out!' Jude 22 "And have mercy on those who doubt" [ESV] I've never really thought of the relationship of sin and death as something that was difficult to grasp or comprehend. But I am glad that the leader handled the situation in a tactful way that would encourage your faith in a way that would help you grow. Blessings to you! Makarios |
