Where Sin Abounded
Law and Grace
O Wretched Man
The Goal of the Law
The Disciplinarian
- What makes sin sin?
- Is there any sin too great for grace?
- What would have been the situation if Jesus had also sinned once? Could the Father have forgiven Him?
Law and Grace
- If a person living under grace has to keep the law how can we say that the person is not under the law?
- Can a human get rid of propensities and rise above temptations in this life?
- Are Adventists too legalistic, placing too much emphasis on the law?
O Wretched Man
- If Paul was so confident about grace why did he despair so much about his struggle with sin?
- Should one feel guilty about sinful thoughts before sin is committed?
- At what point does temptation become sin?
The Goal of the Law
- What was the purpose of giving humans a law if no one would be able to keep it?
- If nobody can keep the law is something wrong with the law? Why or why not?
- Why is keeping the law legalistically, as useless as not keeping the law?
The Disciplinarian
- Would humans prefer to have been created to serve God without the power of choice and without the opportunity to sin?
- Would God have preferred having humans who had no chance to rebel?
- Can we resist the tempter at times in our own strength and will power or is that impossible?
- Does God prompt us every time the devil tempts us or is it our conscience?
