Why is it
that we are surprised when people act depraved?
As Christians, we claim to believe in original sin, but then are surprised when people act in a sinful manner...one of those things that makes you go, "hmmm."
Yeah, I've heard certain people say "dogs bark, ducks quack, sinners sin," meaning that we shouldn't be surprised when sinners sin... but then they have a cow when sinners sin!
come now. no one believes in sin anymore. sin talk is just lip service. people don't believe in the radicality of sin any more than they believe in the man on the moon.
