Christian Talk Radio



The Lord be with you

Do you like to listen to Christian talk radio? Perhaps you are one of those who would like to listen to Christian talk radio but when you do you are completely disappointed with what you hear. So, instead of listening, you complain. There is another choice.

If you are reading this, then you have internet access. There is a station that has solid, biblical, theologically sound, programs. It is called Issues Etc. There is a link on the left-hand side of this blog, but for this post I’m putting it below. Enjoy.

  1. It is rather amazing that you can quote Romans 5:12 and not see that sin is inherited. It is true that Peter doesn't say repent of your original sin. The repentance is for all sin, original and active (the Acts 2 quote). This is true for all the general repentance passages quoted above. The writer doesn't understand the reality that we are at the same time both sinners and saints (Romans 7:7-25). In contrasting the results of Adam's sin and the work of Christ Paul wrote, "Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men" (Romans 5:18). Finally, the writer seems to have a problem with infant baptism. Consider the words of Peter on the first Pentecost. He said, "For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself” (Acts 2:39). Peter includes everyone, even the children. They don't have to grow-up for God to be recipients of God's promise, which verse 38 attaches it to baptism. Perhaps the writer is one of those who think baptism is only a symbol. If so, he should consider passages like 1 Peter 3:21, where we are told "baptism now saves you." He might consider Romans 6:4 where Paul teaches we are buried with Jesus in our baptism. Perhaps the writer ... I don't know. "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). Not all adults. Not all people who have reached some mythical age of accountability. All have sinned.
