    Testimony of others

    Only Christians are saved because being saved is how a person becomes a Christian in the first place. One of the posts pointed out that in the Old Testament there were people who were saved who didn't know the name of Jesus. They were saved because of their faith in the promises God had made...

    was this prophecy fulfilled ?

    What you have said so far is very close to the truth. When we are born into this world we aren't children of God. We are beings who were created by God to worship and serve him and the our eternal destiny depends on our fulfilling our purpose. There is one other fact you haven't mentioned...

    What does 'Original Sin' mean?

    The phrase "original sin" is never found in the Bible. Not everyone has the same opinion about what it is. What the Bible does say is that everyone is born with a nature that leads us to sin and we are all guilty. Jesus was born without that sin nature because he is God and was conceived by...

    God is just and justice requires that all sins be paid for. Either the sinner must be punished or the sin must be atoned for by the sacrifice of innocent blood.

    Jesus's humanity

    So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” (John 8:57-58 ESV) Jesus said, "I am", not "I was." This was a name of God and all who heard Jesus would recognize it. Then...

    Jesus's humanity

    He was what all humans would have been like if Adam hadn't sinned.For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. (Hebrews 4:15 ESV) He was perfect but finite. He had to learn just as any...
