Bible Question:
Just one follow-up question, hoping we don't get too far off-topic: Looking at your denomination's definition of depravity, how does it fit into its theology the "ignorant savage who never hears the name of Christ," or for that matter those here in the western world who never hear a clear gospel presentation? --Joe! |
Bible Answer: Greetings Joe! We don't believe in universal salvation. So, basically are understanding of depravity is that as soon as one is given the opportunity to obey or disobey God, one will disobey. At that point, they become culpable for their sin. So, our view is comes out pretty much the same as the reformed view of depravity, with the exception that those who are not old enough to reject Christ are covered by the cross. So, a "clear gospel presentation" isn't really necessary to condemn a person. I've got to get to bed! Chat with you later Joe! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
