Are We Slaves To Sin?

That comes from the 'inbred sin nature' teaching which says that merely being human is itself sinful, and therefore WHATEVER a person may do, it is sinful.

There is so much delusion and bondage in the world it's unreal. I think if we ever got a genuine understanding, an actual 'vision' or perception of just how much bondage and spiritual darkness there is, of how much spiritual ENSLAVEMENT there is... not merely an intellectual idea of 'yeah, there's a lot of darkness out there' but an actual REVELATION of how the ENTIRE WORLD IS CHOKING ON DARKNESS, the life and spirit of mankind, all men, SMOTHERING under the oppression of sin and delusion and ignorance... if we ever saw it like it TRULY AND REALLY IS, we'd never get off our knees, never cease weeping and crying out for mercy, we'd die of starvation because we'd do NOTHING but intercede with all we had... we'd probably die of a crushed and broken heart...

And I am amazed... because God sees it all exactly as it is...unfiltered, unadulterated, unclouded, clear and perfect vision of man's real condition...

No wonder it drove him to the cross, to do EVERYTHING POSSIBLE to save man...

This is so true. Which is why those that have the truth must do everything in their power to save themselves and others.
