Is there a difference between sin and sins?What is original sin? Total depravity?How has sin impacted me, us, the world?What is forgiveness?How can I be forgiven? How am I forgiven?The Apostles’ Creed:I believe in God, the Father Almighty,creator of heaven and earth,I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,who was conceived by the Holy Spiritand born of the virgin Mary.He suffered under Pontius Pilate,was crucified, died, and was buried;He descended to hell.The third day He rose again from the dead.He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.From there He will come to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit,the holy catholic church,the communion of saints,the forgiveness of sins,the resurrection of the body,and the life everlasting. Amen.Helpful Definitions:Sin: “Sin is lawlessness in relation to God as lawgiver, rebellion in relation to God as rightful ruler, missing the mark in relation to God as our designer, guilt in relation to God as judge, and unclean in relation to God as the holy one. Sin is perversity touching each one of us everywhere and at every point of our lives.” J.I. PackerOriginal Sin: The state of all people at birth that consists of impending consequence for guilt and disordered desires that infect every aspect of human nature so that no one is able to reorient one’s self from this inward curve.Federal Headship: Represented by one person; either by Adam or by Christ.Total Depravity: By nature, we have disordered loves: we do not love that which we ought to love. Attempting to change the telos, or end goal of humanity from the Kingdom of God to the Kingdom of Man.Resources Mentioned in This Episode:Genesis 1, 3, Isaiah 6, Leviticus 16, Romans 9-11, 1 John 2:1, 2 Corinthians 5:21The Apostles CreedTraining the ChurchKnowing Faith Episode #64 – What is the Church?“Hard To Be” by David BazanAmazon affiliate links are used where appropriate.
