Our Christian group has been discussing sin. Some say we are born with a sin nature and become sinners when we sin. Others say we are born sinners because we have a sin nature. What say you?
Someone in my small group said that when Jesus read from the OT in the synagogue that he was reading from the Septuagint. I disagreed because Jesus was within the Holy Land where Hebrew was still spoken. I understand that the main reason the Septuagint was made – so the Jews outside of the Holy Land could still read scripture since they were losing the Hebrew language. So, do you think the Septuagint was read by Jesus in the synagogues?
I want to show some Catholic members of my family that they can’t be saved by following Catholic dogma. I plan to use Romans 10:9 and Matt. 7:21-23 as my Scriptural support. Putting these together, it seems that unless we confess and believe in the True Jesus, the one clearly defined and presented in Holy Scripture, we could find ourselves standing before Him and being told the He never knew us. The reason being that we confessed a different Jesus from the one presented in His Holy Word, a Jesus of salvation plus works. Am I understanding this correctly?
