Is the fact that the definition of truth is wrong a clue to the original sin ?

Question

Well, it was discovered that truth can lie ?

How ? well by the use of parts of the truth in many ways...

That is not in your dictionary....so is this the 'original sin ?

Seems like we believe that truth is The Truth....problem is there are still many more truths still on the tree of knowledge we don't know...about...eh ?

Answer 1

I dont understand your question. Do you mean that if one considers it a sin to learn of good and evil (truth) then truth is a sin?

If so I believe that the bible tells us that evil itself is not a sin if one does not know that he or she is doing something evil.

I hope this somewhat answers your question.

Answer 2

look, PARTS of the truth are not the TRUTH.

Notice:

"Furthermore, consider the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul according to the wisdom given him also wrote YOU, 16 speaking about these things as he does also in all [his] letters. In them, however, are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unsteady are twisting, as [they do] also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction."
-2 Peter 3:15-16

I can't figure out why any of this would have anything to do with the 'original sin' either.

God told them not to eat of the Fruit of the tree that he chose. They ate of the tree......... It was a real tree and real fruit.

But it becomes apparent that the tree of the knowledge of good and bad symbolized the divine right or prerogative, which man’s Creator retains, to designate to his creatures what is “good” and what is “bad,” thereafter properly requiring the practice of that which is declared good and the abstention from that which is pronounced bad in order to remain approved by God as Sovereign Ruler.

Both the prohibition and the subsequent pronouncement of the sentence passed upon the disobedient pair emphasize the fact that it was the act of disobedience in eating the prohibited fruit that constituted the original sin.—Ge 3:3.

Answer 3

Umm.... dictionaries don't really count when you use the word "truth" to claim that that was the original sin. A dictionary is a man-made, not God made or even God inspired, book that is used to define words. It doesn't change the whole world by the way it defines a word.

Answer 4

The original sin was when Adam ate the fruit that Eve gave to him after she had been deceived by the serpent. Adam was the first to sin because he did something he knew not to do, but Eve was deceived. That's when man's nature fell. Not when Satan lied to Eve. Another thing, there's always a bit of truth in any lie.

Answer 5

Sounds like a typical lawyers trick of splitting hairs to make truth more or less relative to certain situations. The simple, moral definition is easy: you cannot divide or subvert the truth. It can be horrible, ignoble, noble, good, evil, it's just the truth, seen without a lens or coloring.

Answer 6

It's called the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. There was another tree in the garden, the tree of life. Believing in Jesus Christ gives you access to the tree of life, which is true enlightenment, while rejecting him leaves you with only the knowledge of good and evil, in effect, darkness.

Answer 7

The original sin is quite simple. It was choosing Satan over God...that was the original sin.

Answer 8

There is no ORIGINAL SIN.

Is Sin Inherited?

Do we inherit the guilt of the sins of Adam and our parents, or will we be accountable only for those sins which we personally commit? The Scriptures clearly teach that we must answer to God for our own sins rather than those of our ancestors. "So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God." (Rom. 14:12) "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad." (II Cor. 5:10) "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Rom 3:23) Note that Paul teaches that we come short of God's glory through our own sins, not that we are born short through the mistakes of our forebears.

The doctrine that a baby is born with the stain of the sin of Adam and his parents upon him is known as "original sin". It concludes that a little baby who has never personally sinned is forever condemned to hell unless that infant is baptized. Neither the expression "original sin" nor the idea it represents is found in the Bible. God's word teaches the opposite. "The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son." (Ezek. 18:20) In other words, a child is not accountable for his parents' sins.

This teaching fails to consider that sin is an act ("the transgression of the law" -- I John 3:4) and therefore not an inheritable trait. It may no more be inherited than cooking a meal or driving an automobile since these are acts rather than characteristics.

If babies were born sinners, Jesus would not have chosen them as examples for us to follow. "Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." (Matt. 18:3) Surely Jesus is not exhorting His disciples to become like sin-blackened children doomed to everlasting punishment. We are the "offspring of God" (Acts 17:29) and our spirits have been given by God. (Ecc. 12:7) Were the doctrine of original sin true these passages would imply that we inherit original sin from God Himself which cannot be since God is perfect.

What then, do we inherit from our physical parents? We inherit their ability to know good and evil, and also the human weakness which in time causes us to sin. We do not inherit the guilt of Adam's transgressions nor that of our parents. Until a child is old enough to understand the meaning of sin, he is as pure in the sight of God as the freshly fallen winter snow.

Answer 9

both sin and truth are realtive - we are supposed to believe in whatever we want


11:11

Answer 10

It's not in my dictionary and probably in no one's dictionary.
