Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":
The leader of what is probably the most widespread Protestant church in the world has openly declared that it is not necessary for anyone to know whether Christ in His incarnation “took” the unfallen or the fallen nature of our first father Adam.
To discuss it, he says, is unprofitable.
But there is a growing segment of Christian people worldwide who believe that the “humanity of the Son of God is everything to us,” whether He came “nigh” unto us, or has stayed far away so that people see Him in cathedral windows.
The problem centers in the Roman Catholic dogma of the “Immaculate Conception” of the Virgin Mary—which states that in her conception the Holy Spirit worked a miracle that “exempted” her from inheriting the fallen, sinful nature that all other humans have inherited from their fallen father Adam, so that she is a new creation as our mother Eve was.
This on-the-surface beautiful dogma appeals to millions, including many Protestants who do not realize that in accepting it they have virtually lost their name of “protestant” and have in heart returned to the fold of Rome.
One hundred twenty years ago this year, two young Protestant ministers felt led by the Lord to declare openly that this Roman Catholic dogma is poison to true Protestantism. Their message has become highly controversial today, all these many years later.
This dogma removes Christ from being our Savior from sin and leaves an imagined “Christ” claiming to save us in sin.
Scripture is clear: the Father in His love for humanity sent Him in our nature so that He might save us there: “What the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit” (Rom. 8:3, 4).
These thousands world-wide treasure this assurance, and clasp it to their hearts in deepest gratitude. Join them!
