To me the words chosen for the chart are a good thumbnail depiction of what God has laid out in the scriptures for His amazing plan of salvation. I don't understand what you mean by alliteration here but as far as sin not being mentioned - it seems that the mention of repentance directly addresses the condition of being separated from God by sin. Modern, mainstream Christianity does have bits and pieces of God's biblical truth mixed in with man made teachings that can't be proven by scripture. That doesn't mean that its not still the truth. If you think about it, that is the most effective attack on the Church that Satan could have devised - to mix in some truth with His lies. Consider when he took Jesus up to the mountain to tempt Him. He quoted scripture to Jesus! He purposely misused the scripture out of context, but it didn't mean the scripture shouldn't be used by God's people. I'm not sure if this explanation comes across clearly, hopefully so. I've been observing God's Holy Days most of my life and the meaning increases for me every year, they are hopeful and sometimes somber at the same time. The need to turn from sin is absolutely a huge part of God's plan.
Great points Elliott, thank you!
