Ah, denial of the guilt of original sin rears its ugly head again!

I ask you, my brothers, for what sin is a person condemned? Is it for refusing the message of Christ in the Gospel? I’ve heard my Baptist colleagues say this. If so, why would President Carter be wrong about the Muslim who never hears the Gospel still going to heaven?

The sin for which we all are condemned is the sin of eating the forbidden fruit, which we committed in Adam (Romans 5:12). That’s why the Muslim and all others who have never heard of Christ are still condemned.

President Carter is wrong, but I am concerned that perhaps his wrong beliefs are only the logical conclusion of what we Baptist pastors have been teaching our people.

Love in Christ,

Jeff

Knowing Brother CB, his rules of engagement will be something like; Know your opponents weakness, do not trust anyone but yourself, always give ample opportunity to end conflict peacefully, if you have to battle do it to win.

I do not know if they are exact, but I believe they are somewhere close.

Blessings,
Tim

I know where you are at. My prayers are with you. BTW, I would be interested in knowing your rules of engagement?

God Bless

Thank you for your comment here and the call. I will call you back just as soon as I deal with my foster son for breaking my rules of engagement about fighting at school. He got suspended and I have to deal with him. He fought for all the wrong reasons and then even in doing so he failed in steps 1-3 in the rules of proper engagement for fighting. Of course, so have several Presidents I could name, but I expect better from my son. I will get him started washing SUV’s and the back deck and then call you. It will also help him to know his misery is now known all over Blog Town. My job is to rear godly men who, if they were to become President of this nation, would be capable of dealing with real ememies of this nation rather than playing “pushed me first” games.

It was not my intent to include you in the broad brush of “This proves again that doctrine doesn’t matter to these folks.”

After talking with our mutual friend, Tim Rogers, I can see where you have a legitimate beef with me. Doctrine does matter to you. I apologize for my apparent misrepresentation of your beliefs.

With all due respect, I am still baffled as to how Jimmy Carter’s version of the Gospel is one in which I should participate with him. How do you feel about Jimmy Carter’s statements on the inclusivism of Mormons and Jews in his understanding of the Gospel? Were you able to question him on those areas when you met him? What was his response?

I guess what I am trying to understand is the mantra that it is missions that unite us. (I am again not saying that you do or do not believe that) As I have been saying for quite some time, that it is doctrine that unites us and impells us to do missions. It is also doctrine that instructs us on how to do missions. If someone believes that Judaism is a legitimate pathway to God, that affects how they do missions and accomplishes the Great Commission. If they believe that Mormons are Christians, that affects how missions will be done.

Again, it is not my intent to embarrass or misrepresent you or to be mean spirited towards you, so I kindly ask if you will now speak against those inclusivistic statements of Jimmy Carter.

God Bless
