'Original Sin: A Depraved Idea' by Tony Jones
Tony Jones' article, "Original Sin: A Depraved Idea" is a depraved idea from his vain imagination, and demonstrates how easy it is to be conditioned and deceived into believing a lie. Worst yet, Tony Jones is calling God and His written word a liar:
"If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us" (1 John 1:8-10. See also Romans 3:9-20).
We are witnessing the Biblical warnings unfold before our very eyes:
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths" (2 Timothy 4:3-4).
People do not have to be deceived. Stand strong for Jesus Christ. Study God's written word and trust it over-and-above what men with depraved ideas say.
