Jeff states:
The less that is said about the Fall, its effects, man's natural and depraved condition, man's guiltiness before God, the present judgment which rests upon all men and the final end for all who refuse to bow before the Lord of Lord, repenting of their sins and believing upon the Lord Christ, to the same degree, the truth concerning the love of God, the satisfaction and completeness of Christ's atonement and thus ability to save, the assurance of salvation, and so much more will be diminished, the Gospel prostituted and God dishonored. The only hope there is for sinners to be saved is found in God, of which the apostle Paul was totally convinced and the Holy Spirit inspired him to write:



Romans 1:16-17 (ASV) "For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is revealed a righteousness of God from faith unto faith: as it is written, But the righteous shall live by faith."




Notice how Paul continues in the remainder of the chapter. It hardly resembles anything which is contained in the letter to this inquirer; both with sinners as the object and both with homosexuality included. It is the almighty power of the Holy Spirit, working with the biblical Gospel, to regenerate hearts and to give spiritual life to dead sinners, that saves; not pop psychology nor Madison Avenue advertising ploys.

Verily Verily I say AMEN and AMEN!!!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bananas.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bow.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bravo.gif" alt="" />

Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. - Galatians 2:16
