The man on the island who never heard the Gospel Message.... How could a good and loving God condemn to hell someone who’s never heard of him?

Lesson 1 Part 1


This lesson will lead you to be able to accurately answer the following important questions and can totally revolutionize your appreciation for the Bible. How did God go about revealing His thoughts and truths to man? What evidence do we have that the Bible is God's words to us? Why do we call the Bible by that name?

Because the Father is one He is the source of the entire Trinity He is unbegotten. There is no source of the Father's existence other than Himself. As some of the early Christians put it He is divine. He is unbegotten and His origin is in Himself....

Actual sin is the sin we commit ourselves. In the Baltimore Catechism it says that actual sin is any willful thought, desire, word, action, or omission forbidden by the law of God.

Every fruit of the redemption won by Christ, every grace from on high comes through our lady. In fact, all of us are co redeemers in some way, when we bring our children to be baptized, or we help a soul convert to the true faith, or when we give instruction to a soul in error. We can call down and apply the fruits of the redemption through our prayers and sacrifices.

Today, we look at Genesis chapter three and the fall of man and the resulting punishment that comes to all of us through that original sin.
