@pensacotti That would be our impass. You see believing as a work, and I do not. Believing is nothing more then having confidence in the truth. John 1:12 But as many as recieved Him to them he gave the right to become the son's of God , to those who believe His name. I am a firm believer in God's gift of free will given to all men, the right to choose or not. I respect your beliefs, however I disagree. God Bless
@jlwohio Before Christ, no man had to "believe" in Adam or his lack of faith&works to have Adam's sin counted against them, for sin abounded. So why is it that anyone should think that they must now believe (a work) in Christ and His faith and His works to have Adam's sin be removed from them? Christ removed the sin, not you, or your faith. "Believing" is an awakening of consciousness to what already is, not a work one must do to be saved from imputed sin. Accepting Christ is accepting what is.
