Featured Born In Sin

Not at all.
Have only some sinned and fall short of the glory of God or have all sinned and fall short of the glory of God?

 

IMHO it applies to whomever the following in bold applies, two translations YLT and Darby

for the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar, to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood which maketh atonement for the soul.

for the soul of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that maketh atonement for the soul.

Age is immaterial all souls have need of atonement by the sinless blood/life/soul of Jesus.

 

No one stands before God, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." All are saved by grace alone. This includes infants and even those who die in the womb.

 

*Romans 3:21-25*

But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.

How many people have sinned, Jon? Is God mistaken when he says "all?"

 

Jon, the curse is upon all humanity whereby all are corrupt from conception. Your position claims that corruption is only once a child willfully sins. That position is a form of Pelagianism. Do you follow Pelagius in believing humans are sinless until they willfully commit a sin?
You admit infants are corrupt, yet you are claiming corrupt people enter heaven apart from God's saving grace.

 

I actually do not disagree with any of that. I believe when God created man of the dust of the earth and gave him a spiritual law, Thou shall not eat of; It was appointed for him to die and then afterward the judgement.

Rom 8:2- for to vanity was the creation made subject -- not of its will, but because of Him who did subject it -- in hope,

The end of the whole matter let us hear: -- 'Fear God, and keep His commands, for this is the whole of man. For every work doth God bring into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether good or bad.' Ecc 12:13,14

For sure God will be glorified!

After all is said and done what will every soul that has ever drawn breath, do?

 

Jon, I am still waiting for you to tell me if "all" have sinned and fall short of the glory of God or if only "some" have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Our nature is bound in sin. We have no righteousness of our own. We need God's grace from conception to the grave and into eternity. This is why Jesus continually prays for us as our High Priest.

 

Were you born of a virgin also ?

 

Methinks, after, all, is said and done Phil 2:10,11 is going to apply.

As I said, "For sure God will be glorified!"


I just had a thought relative to other scriptures. Consider.

Here is what man and the house of Israel specifically, has done from the beginning.

Ezek 36:19 - 21 And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them. And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land. But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went.

Therefore what does God do to bring glory to his holy name? ----- Let's talk about being, born again.

V's 22-223 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went. And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

24-27 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. ---- I count 8, I's there.

Acts 14-17 Simeon did declare how at first God did look after to take out of the nations a people for His name, and to this agree the words of the prophets, as it hath been written:
After these things I will turn back, and I will build again the tabernacle of David, that is fallen down, and its ruins I will build again, and will set it upright -- that the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all the nations, upon whom My name hath been called, saith the Lord, who is doing all these things.

V-18 'Known from the ages to God are all His works;

 

I would like to ask. Sin is the transgression of the law, Exactly when would you think one puts something in the place of God? There shall have no other Gods before me. Exactly when would you think one covets? Thou shall not covet.

Does PS 51:5 seem to imply being conceive to be a sinful act?

This also relates back to my original question concerning Ps 51 of which no one wants to address.
