The original distinction between inherited guilt and consequences of Adam’s sin
Claim examined: Christian conduct and moral questions
Scriptural Answer
Ian wrote, "The Scripture speaks for itself on Original Sin:" Let's see if this is true. Ian quoted Genesis 2 then said, "They didn?t keel over but they lost eternal life in Paradise. Original Sin. The proclivity to sin caused by loss of innocence." Okay, Ian has just shown everyone here what the first sin was of the human race. This does not prove his doctrine. Ian quoted Genesis 3 and said, "ALL women suffer pain in childbirth; all men toil for a living ? ALL share in the ?puinishment? given to Adam & Eve." Okay, this vers still does NOT prove that ALL children are sinners. All women suffer the CONSEQUENCES of Eve's sin, this does NOT make ALL women sinners. Ian quoted Job 14:1-4 however, once again these verses do NOT prove the doctrine of Original sin. There is NO mention that one is born a sinner in these verses. Ian wrote, "Psalm 51 ? read the whole thing" Yes, please read the whole thing, you will also NOT find the doctrine of Original sin in these verses. Please read what I wrote to Emily in my last post. Ian quoted Romans 5:12-19 however these verses also do NOT prove the FALSE doctrine of Original sin. We suffer the CONSEQUENCES of Adam's sin - DEATH and nothing more. Let Ian show everyone here where it is written that we will be judged by the sins of someone else??? According to Catholic doctrine, children who are NOT baptized will be LOST. This is another doctrine with NO basis in the word of God. Ian quoted Ephesians 2:1-5 however please notice that the text does NOT mention Adam, his sin nor that one is guilty of Adam's sin. The Bible NOWHERE teaches that man INHERITS sin. This is another FALSE DOCTRINE of the Catholic Church.
