We were just talking about this on another message board that I am a member of, this is what one of the members said and I post it because I think he made a great point...btw his name is board name is Eternal Quote: We are all sinners. If I struggle with greed, I can't just say "all well, that is the way God made me." Or if I have an overactive sex drive and I sleep with countless women, I can't just chalk it up to my DNA.
We are sinners, and we sin. We struggle with sin. I sympathize with his plight, and I agree a lot with Funk Rabbit. But we are told to press on toward our goal until we attain our prize, not give up on the third lap.
If you accept the bible as true, then there is no getting around the fact that sin, like greed, pride, drunkenness, etc. is a sin.
Sin is very overpowering. Sin is normal to our condition as fallen people. It is very weighty. Do not be surprised that it seems natural.
His new theology is what is most revealing though. Where does he find it in scripture? Or is scripture now taking a back seat to his personal comfort?
I know there is a lot to the story, and I don't presume to know it all. But sin is still sin, and must not be accepted as "just the way God made me." | My two cents were... Quote: | The truth of the matter is not that "God made me this way" its actually as Eternal pointed out and I'll paraphrase "SIN made me this way" and now Mr. Boltz is in rebellion and and at enmity with God's revealed word concerning this matter, May God grant him the grace and the ability to overcome this gross temptation and sin, I will be praying for his deliverance. | Holy Culture Community Forum
