The Bible teaches that man is not good nor righteous; that is, he is totally corrupt and radically depraved. No man is perfect but our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
However, Freemasonry teaches that man is basically good and must achieve perfection through self-effort. In relation to a sinless and good God, our good works are sinful in comparison. There is no good in us. Man is not inherently good but he is inherently fallen and corrupt.
Man has inherited the sinful nature of Adam and people cannot become righteous before God through personal effort. There is only one way to be right with God: it is through faith in the life and death of Christ Jesus alone.
This blog web site is for the in-depth, sound and basic exegetical study of the Bible in Reformed apologetics; that is, I shall expound upon the inerrant and infallible Word of God, the Holy Scriptures. There shall be biblical studies in world religions and non-Christian cults. I also quote and research reformed writers and I am happy to study from them. May the Lord bless everyone who reads this blog with spiritual riches in Christ which is His imputed merit by faith alone.
The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost. It is Jesus' favorite title of Himself. I chosen this title because Jesus loved this title of Himself. We ought to never forget that Jesus is fully God and fully man: two natures in One Person. He is the God-man, the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity. May we mediate on His life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension that we may be conformed to the image of the divine Son of Man! This blog web site will be a Christian defense of the Reformed doctrines of the Incarnate Son of Man. May all glory be to His name!
