8. Reversible but not reducible

Ministry School 2008: Man does not cease being in the image of God, but the expression of that is reversed and perverted, the perverse wisdom of the unwise. Sin is not a disease from which we need to be healed. The morally reversed image is, in fact, thoroughly foolish, as Romans 1:18ff. indicates. The foolishness always results in moral perversity at whatever level, bringing man under the wrath of God.
