The Human Dilemma

Romans 6:14: "For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the Law, but under Grace."
The Human Dilemma
One of the keys to understanding how Sanctification works in the life of the Believer is understanding the status of the sin nature. The sin nature is the nature of fallen man. It was passed on to all men as a result of Adam and Eve's failure in the Garden. The sin nature is that characteristic ... Read More

Creation of Man
The study of the first Dispensation begins with the account of the creation of man. Genesis 1:26 states that God created man in His own image after His likeness. Genesis 2:7 gives the detailed account of how God accomplished this:
“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed [...]

Dispensationalism is not a new hermeneutical device, for various theologians throughout Church history have had some method of categorizing the dealings of God with man. Augustine wrote, “Distinguish the ages, and the Scriptures will be in harmony.” A proper understanding of the various Dispensations is essential to “rightly dividing the Word of Truth” (IITim. 2:15)

Hansen: They (traditional Christians) want to know that there’s going to
be some kind of, so to speak, hell to pay. Some sort of judgment. I think
part of the problem that you and I both react to is that an infinite amount

part of the problem that you and I both react to is that an infinite amount

something that seems to question God’s just and loving nature.
McLaren: Yeah, it’s very true. And I think that creates a rational

3 If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, 5 useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, ***who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such ***WITHDRAW YOURSELF***.
