"There's no perfect man..only a perfect Saviour." - quote from Jonny A.

Incredible study - Moreover, Walking with an undefiled conscience necessitates a perpetual confession of sin (1 Timothy 1:19-20).

Started my faith journey a few months ago as a young man in his twenties. Please continue to preach. Would love bible study videos of each bible book because that is something lacking my community. Thank you so much! God bless.

For Catholics. I don’t need to confess to man. Especially a priest. I only have one mediator and His name is Jesus Christ!

Sin often gets held up on a pedestal and becomes the center of focus as though sin is the problem. It’s a modern day “satan made me do it”. Or…”I sin because I’m a sinner.” 12:06 - But sin isn’t the problem, it’s merely the symptom.
Jesus didn’t say that if someone wanted to follow Him they would need to confess sin and continue confessing sin. What He said was that we would have to deny ourselves and be willing to suffer to the point of death in order to seek to know Him.
The only place confession has is in admitting that we pursued ourself and thus became our own god instead of pursuing the only true God because identifying the problem is the only way to rectify it.
We are all born neutral because we do not know good or evil. We have to obtain knowledge of both good and evil just as Adam & Eve did, then we CHOOSE evil (self) rather than good (God).
Have all chosen themselves instead of God? Yes. Was it because an evil god who lacks any morsel of righteousness created us to be evil from the womb? No! Because evil isn’t something that is created. Good is God. Evil is the absence of God. The only way for there to be an absence of God is to turn your back on Him and ignore His Presence.

@@touchofgrace3217 we are not born “neutral” as you say, we are “conceived in sin (Psalm 51:5), we are born “dead in sin (Eph. 2:1) and “children of wrath (Eph. 2:3).”

@@dialinministries David’s use of hyperbole in his Psalms is well established and was never meant to be taken literally let alone as a proof text for accusing God of creating evil. Evil is the absence of God, not the creation of God. Since God is omnipresent, evil comes down to turning away from and ignoring His presence.
The passage you referred to in Ephesians 2 had nothing to do with being born evil. The only way to interpret it that way would be to lift it out of its original context and read it in isolation with some presuppositions thrown in for good measure.
Ephesians 2 needs to be read and interpreted in the context of Ephesians 1 in which Paul had just acknowledged the spiritual blessings of accepting the Gospel of Christ, turning away from self to God, through Christ. In Ephesians 2, he was explaining that the consequence of sin (pursuing self) is death and that turning away from ourselves to pursue Christ leads us to life.
Ephesians 2 is not meant to be a proof text for total depravity which is why you conveniently omitted verse 2 and ignored Chapter 1.
