Summary
As the serpent deceived Eve, even so, "that old serpent, called the Devil and Satan" (Revelation 12:9) continues to teach lies and deceive men.
The big lie of the Devil is the lie that God created men with a sinful nature; that they are born condemned and under the wrath and curse of God for the sin of Adam; and that because their very nature is sinful it is impossible for them to obey God and live without sin. The book Are Men Born Sinners shows that this doctrine is false.
This book shows who started the idea of original sin, its awful slander on God's character, and its total inconsistency and opposition to the Bible and all its fundamental teachings.
Every Christian should read this book!
