Can anybody explain me the Original Sin and why it contradicts with BIble?

Question

Ezekiel 18.20 says: "Only the one who sins shall die. The son shall not be charged with the guilt of his father, nor shall the father be charged with the guilt of his son. The virtuous man's virtue shall be his own, as the wicked man's wickedness shall be his own."

This means that everybody is responsible and accountable for their own sins, and nobody can take anybody's sins. However Christians believe that prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) took away all the Christians sins and for that all the Christians shall go to Heaven. This contradicts with the teachings of the Bible.

Don't explain me about the Original Sin, read the question properly.

Answer 1

origianl sin is what makes babies go to hell :p (apparently, or purgatory if ur a catholic). Otherwise it would contradict xian doctrine that no one is perfect, convenient eh?

Answer 2

Ezekiel 18:20 talks about individual responsibility for SINS committed.
Ezekiel 18:21 talks about repentence from those SINS.

Romans talks about the difference between SIN NATURE and SINS committed. SIN nature is synonomous with original sin. Read all of Romans 6

Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. (Jesus) However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. Adam, the first man, was made from the dust of the earth, while Christ, the second man, came from heaven. I Corinthians 15:45-47

so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him. Hebrews 9:28

Answer 3

Actually, it doesn't contradict itself at all. Original Sin, which occurred when Adam and Eve fell into sin, caused all humans after them to be born into sin. So in other words, no one is sinless when they are born. The fact that Jesus died for all sins means that if you believe in Jesus and repent of the sins YOU committed, you will be saved. No one has to repent for the sins that Adam and Eve committed, though, and that's exactly what the next verse you quoted explains. The verse which says no one shall be judged by the sins of their father, etc. is talking about the sins that you commit yourself, not the sin you were born into. We are all born into sin and have a sinful nature, created by Original Sin. However, If a guy cheats on his wife and gets the other woman pregnant and they have a bastard son, that son will not suffer the sins that his parents made. Understand?

Answer 4

My belief, having spent some 18 years researching Truth, is that the original sin is still with us, that is that truth, a fruit from the tree of knowledge, will make us like God to know the Truth; this was the great lie.

Having corrected the definition of half-truth back in 1994, let me introduce you to the dark side of truth; the world fo half-truths.

As a world famous physisit once said, 'all truth is but half-truths, taking them as Truth plays the devil'.

Problem is most of us did not understand what he meant.

A half-truth can be many things, it can be half true half false, or it can mean part of a greater truth. In this case it is 100% true, however it is only part of the whole truth.

Conclusion Truth can Lie, we are not God to know the Truth, the devil deceived Adam and Eve and we are still deceived about this....you will note that there is no mention of this in the definition of Truth, or LIe except where I have inputed information to the online dictionary....

Answer 5

The original sin was disobedience.
God asked Adam not to eat of the fruit of a certain tree and Adam disobeyed.
This does not contradict with Jesus' actions.
Please read:
Romans 7:14 ....Adam sold his descendants into slavery.
Slavery to sin and death.
Romans 5:18,19 explains how Adam's one act can be couter-balanced by one act, from Jesus.

Answer 6

The original sin you must read it for yourself but when you open the bible, yes, it is OK to read it . Muhammad said if you want to know if his telling the truth you must read it in the book of the Jews, so in Genesis ask the Lord for wisdom and ask Him to let you see, you'll be glad you did. In Ezekiel is talking about law or crime. Read it don't disappoint the prophet.

Answer 7

The original sin, is the rejection of God/Jesus Christ as Lord.
Each man's sin is his own, just as each man's salvation is his own.
It's NOT the prophet Jesus!
He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords, He is God.
And yes, with Jesus as Savior and Lord, all Christians go to heaven.

Answer 8

Yes

I agree with that

The ORIGINAL SIN

However,

HAS to do with God's realtionship with MAN and the Garden of Eden

God CAST MAN OUT

and left men to their own natures

Free will

It is up to MAN, an individual, to be better than Adam

Maybe this will work when we reach the "end of times" and face the book of life.

Answer 9

Jesus wasn't a prophet read the whole Bible and don't take stuff out of context

Answer 10

Original sin has never referred to eat fruit. It's allegory, it's sex silly. The story of Adam and eve is filled with sexual imagery. Of course, the literalist morons think it's about eating fruit.

Answer 11

Try again! Original sin took place when Adam disobeyed God by eating the fruit God said not to.
He had good reason to forbid it. He made all things including Adam.
Don't get technical, a sin is a sin.......................
