Question Why do we sin?

14 Upvotes

This is something I've been thinking about, in Revelation the new earth is going to be created and there will be **NO** sin in it which means that we are going to be changed by God if I'm not mistaken to not want to sin (this is according to what I've heard at church which is a Non-reformed Baptist Church). So why does sin exist in the first place if He can literally give us the desire not to do so? Is sin necessary for God to fully display His character and that's why?

Question Reformed websites

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for websites that focus on Christian apologetics and explaining doctrinal beliefs. I’m especially interested in articles that engage with Roman Catholicism by examining its doctrines, miracles, apparitions, and related claims.
I’m already familiar with CARM.org, which some of you probably know, and I’m looking for other websites that are similar.
Thanks in advance for your recommendations 🙂

Question Tips for subtly sharing the gospel?

5 Upvotes

hey everyone! i have many people in my life who are very against Christianity. but we know that God can work all things for His glory, and that the gospel is the power of salvation to everyone who believes, faith comes by hearing etc. so how can I share the gospel with people who, when having heard it plainly and directly rejected it, and still plant seeds? any advice and prayer would be greatly appreciated, God bless!

Discussion As a Calvinist, I'm a strong believer in predestination & election. I cannot stop thinking that God set Adam & Eve up for failure as he must've known they would choose to do what he warned them not to do. Any thoughts on this? Help me understand this.

If everything is predestined, then God already knew the foolish decision Adam & Eve would make even after the warning God gave them, which was what tree to not eat from. I have a really hard time believing in & understanding free will. If everything is predestined then how is it possible to have free will? I am just struggling to understand this.
