		<description><![CDATA[I listened to a fascinating debate on Unbelievable today between the head of the British Humanist Association, Andrew Copson, and a Scottish Presbyterian minister and apologist named David Robertson. Both participants were obviously very intelligent, well educated men with strong skills in debate and a good knowledge of philosophy, history and also contemporary western society.

Or, put another way, does our sinful nature separate us from God like a deep chasm which only the cross can bridge? Is it only the Christian, washed in the Blood of Christ who has any access to the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=criticalbelief.com&blog=1224119&post=401&subd=cawoodm&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is my basic, rough, far from complete understanding of the logic and flow of Paul&#8217;s letter to the Romans, my favorite book yet a sometimes frustrating challenge. I see it as a great and important insight into Paul&#8217;s big picture of God&#8217;s Covenant Faithfulness which is much misunderstood.

Not only that, our renewed minds and way of life is regulated by the Spirit, not the sinful body, so we are focussed [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=criticalbelief.com&blog=1224119&post=393&subd=cawoodm&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

But remember that laws apply only as long as one is alive; just as a woman, whose husband has died, may legally remarry. In the same way as physical death releases men from worldly laws, our baptism is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=criticalbelief.com&blog=1224119&post=391&subd=cawoodm&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You can see that our welcome is by grace, while we were still sinners. Does this mean that sin is no longer condemned by God? Shall we continue to sin so that God&#8217;s grace is more evident? No, no, no! Remember I have been speaking of the initial welcome into God&#8217;s family.

		<description><![CDATA[In case you think I am departing from scripture, think of our forefather, Abraham. Was he welcomed by God because of race or conformance to Jewish Law? Did Abraham have anything to be proud of? Rather, instead of having earned God&#8217;s approval, Abraham simply believed God&#8217;s promises of blessing. Here we have a man who [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=criticalbelief.com&blog=1224119&post=381&subd=cawoodm&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Well, we were entrusted with God&#8217;s explicit plan to bless and save the whole world in a way in which non-Jews are not privileged. We&#8217;ve not been especially true to that vision but that can&#8217;t thwart God&#8217;s plan: He will succeed even if [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=criticalbelief.com&blog=1224119&post=378&subd=cawoodm&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
