Sinful nature is sinful nature. In this broken universe all men, regardless of race, nationality or upbringing, are the same before God. The Lord chose for the Jew's exploits, good and bad, to be written down for us to learn from. We are all capable of the same issues even here in the 21st century. This is one of the things that makes the Bible so relevant today. | ||||||

phand- excellent and well put. How right you are; God's word will be relevant for every generation for as long as He tarries and forever after that(Matthew 24:35). It's to our fortune that we have the sins of others exposed in Scripture for our teaching as it is to our fortune to observe from those same folks how to be obedient. Acts 6:7 shows us that it is God's word that produces obedience. The greatest thing about it, in my opinion, is what it all tells us about God. He is sovereign. The only good thing that can come "from" us is that which God does through us. As a result, we have no judgment of others (God's word judges them and us) and we have not even a bit of justification for pride in ourselves when He produces good in and through us (though I and others struggle with pride). Without doubt we all were born with a sinful nature. For sure, none of us have the power, ability or even the will to obey Him in and of our own hearts and desires (Romans 3:12, Eph 2:8 for examples). Thanks for elaborating on your earlier statement. God bless, Jeff |
