Is it Right to Argue Against Certain Sins from Natural Law?

On the one hand, it is faithful to God’s word to say that there are certain sins that are ‘unnatural’ (Romans 1:26). Now, there is an unhelpful way that some Christians speak when they say that certain sins, especially sexual sins are ‘unnatural’, because the primary reason why those sins…

We Are a Defect-Free Church

Get Out of Adam and Into Christ

Without the active obedience of Christ, then we’re left only with the disobedience of Adam, our first parent… He is the one who is our head as soon as we are born. He’s the one we’re connected to by nature. We need to be taken out of Adam and brought…

Adam Broke God’s Law

The whole law was summarised for Adam in one commandment, namely, that he should not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If he had obeyed that commandment to not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, Adam would have shown that…
