“The depravity of man is at once the most empirically verifiable reality but at the same time the most intellectually resisted fact.”
Malcolm Muggeridge
No, I didn’t. Thanks for the info. I looked into this further and found out that I’m also a fourth of an oxgang or a fourth of a yardland!
Information you can use to entertain your friends!
Not all humans have ‘free will’. Paul is the perfect example of one who did not have free will... And as Paul clearly states, those ‘chosen’ the elect, (saints), were chosen before the ‘foundation of the world’. (World would have been better translated ‘age’.) Paul is the source for that word predestination, and it means what it means.
As far as ‘original sin’ goes, the devil, called Lucifer at the time, committed the ‘original sin’. Yes, the Adam and Eve committed the ‘first’ sin in this flesh age.. thus flesh lives got an expiration date.
Thank you.
