Bible Note: Joe, 1. Fortunately, the church of our Lord that He established (Matt. 16:18-19) "suddenly" sprang up in A.D. 33 on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2) - not 200 years ago as you declare The church of my Lord is a "spiritual" institution (John 18:36) - not a physical one set up by man and his dogmas, creeds, philosophies, etc. Daniel foretold the establishment of that "spiritual" kingdom (the church) in Daniel 2:31-44. In fact, the church was in the mind of God BEFORE the foundation of the world (Eph 1:3-5; 1 Pet. 1:20) so I believe that's a little before "200 years ago". 2. If the doctrine of depravity and original sin were true then Christ must have been mistaken when He said in Matt. 18:3, "Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." It's obvious that if a little child can enter into the kingdom of heaven, he must be "sinless" for I read that those who are "sinful" will not enter into that kingdom (Revelation 21:27). You cannot argue over what the scriptures clearly teach because God's Word never changes - you can, however, point out what the scriptures do not teach and that's what I've done. By the way, I don't believe in arguing - it doesn't get you anywhere, is not productive, and wastes a whole lot of time! Mike |
