Rebuttal to My Own Editorial?

Well today my second editorial (essentially a Gospel message) was printed in the newspaper (Eureka Reporter). You can see it here. Unfortunately, I didn't choose the headline because if I had, what is written wouldn't have been written. The Bible makes it clear the only way to Heaven is through Christ alone which thankfully is pretty clear in the letter. The whole point to be made is to show we have all sinned against a holy, and just God who demands perfection.

One can see this point clearly when we look at His Law. The sinful nature of course, fights it and denies it but nevertheless, God demands perfection, holiness (and truth in the inward parts Psalm 51:6). The issue is one of righteousness and we cannot live the perfect standard God requires. Because of Adam's sin in the Garden of Eden, we are all doomed to Hell from birth. Because of one man, sin entered the world. Through one man, who did not sin (God manifest in the flesh in the person of Jesus Christ) we can be saved from the wrath to come (Judgment). (1 Cor. 15:22, Romans 5:12, Romans 5:8,9)

Verse for today's post: Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent,... Acts 17:30

I'm sorry sir, but while you were swallowing a camel, we found a plank in your eye.

I know that what the Bible contains causes much hatred toward it and God Himself but what is written in Scripture still stands and always will.
