But how long are we to continuing oopsing?
We are still human?
Everyone needs to consider this phrase.
It is another way to say you are incapable of doing things that would be considered correct. People do beastial things and claim it is humanity creeping through. Since when is being human being somehow contributed to flaws? Since one of the fundamental tenets of Calvinism is the inherent sinfulness of man. Calvin’s doctrine of total depravity is the belief that we are born in such a state that we are totally corrupt, inherently sinful, and unable to do what is right on our own. The doctrine states that one cannot even come to God without a direct operation of the Holy Ghost upon their heart. This doctrine is the most prevalent teaching within our culture since the first Puritan set foot on these shores. Our culture is bathed in it, mingled with the American Indian's nature cult. Rag'n'Bone Man's song "only human after all" paints this picture perfectly. That we aren't to be blamed for anything we do, because we are only human after all. Sorry, but that isn't what the Gospel teaches. We aren't supposed to remain the beast, we are to be converted to a different nature. The lion who once totally lived on flesh, is changed to eat straw.
Proverbs 26:3 explains that whips, and bridles are only for animals. Meaning that animals must be forced to obey, as so do fools. But fools are said to not believe in God. Not that there isn't a God, but they don't trust Him to be correct and the only way. Cain offered a sacrifice out of religious duty, and his brother out of devotional love. We see this throughout the whole Bible. Tares look just like the wheat, and therefore they are only harvested at the time of maturity. That is why Paul spoke of a time when we should have come to full maturity, but hadn't because we never get past even the basic principles of Christ.
Are we only human after all?
Therefore we aren't too be blamed?
Sorry, but that don't cut it with Christ.
