What is Sin? Where does it come from? Do we inherit a sinful nature from Adam? Where does the feeling of guilt come from? The history of the human race as presented in scripture in primarily a history of man in a state of sin and rebellion against God and of God’s plan of redemption to bring man back to himself. Therefore, it is appropriate now to consider the nature of the sin that separates man from God.

It's not only important WHO you believe in, it's also important WHAT you believe about the WHO you believe in. What we believe about him determines the Jesus we believe in. It's not doctrine but people and the way they handle doctrine that divides the church.
The Doctrine of Revelation
June 22, 2010 • Paul Goffin • Job 11:7, 1 Corinthians 1:21
God desires to reveal Himself to all of mankind. God creating man with mental and spiritual faculties which can lead man towards a search for God. However, since the fall of man, these mental and spiritual faculties have been blunted so mankind needs to be lead to God. Thus God, in grace and love, has taken the initiative by giving a progressive revelation of Himself through Jesus. Man can only personally know God through Jesus.
