If we could only forget "original" sin and demand an original answer from ourselves?

Question

by persisting with "What?"

What might the world be like?

Answer 1

Living here in the USA one does not have to go to church to be conditioned by the church, "I'm only human", is a good example. Yes one must want to know the truth. There is truth in all religions but most of the teachers are blind. I had to know the truth, whats the difference between me and some one who just "believes" what they are told? I don't know. I do know we are of the same source. The world would become the Earth again, Paradise. It would be Paradise.

Answer 2

UM NOPE Where do these questions come from, they make no common sense let alone sense. what on earth is original sin and an original answer?
Sin is sin - no matter how small or faded or shady.
The answer to sin is in the blood of Jesus - Water Baptism in Jesus Name, Its the only form of cleansing that will have immediate effect.

Answer 3

I did not commit any "original sin" why would i even bother with them in the first place? I am not liable or responsible for what some one did or did not do thousands of years ago. Any one telling you otherwise if fooling you and trying to manipulate you, beware!

Answer 4

Can Christians prove we are born sinners - without the bible?
I have not met one single baby that has tried to kill me.

Ezekiel 18:20
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: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

James2:24
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

Answer 5

Original sin is a LIE!

When you realize this, you understand that the doctrine of "immaculate conception" and infant baptism are both meaningless. No one is born with the guilt of sin. Since everyone is born innocent, there is no need to figure out some way for Jesus to be born without guilt for Adam's sin.

Ezekiel 18:1 A message came to me from the LORD. He said, 2 “You people have a proverb about the land of Israel. What do you mean by it? It says, “‘The parents eat sour grapes. But the children have a bitter taste in their mouths.’

3 “You will not use that proverb in Israel anymore,” announces the LORD and King. “And that is just as sure as I am alive. 4 Everyone belongs to me. Father and son alike belong to me. ->People will die because of their own sins.

[ God presents a hypothetical family of alternating good and evil fathers to explain this teaching:]

5 “Suppose a godly man does what is fair and right.
...
9 He follows my rules. He is faithful in keeping my laws. He always does what is right. You can be sure he will live,” announces the LORD and King. 10 “But suppose he has a mean son who harms other people. The son commits murder. Or he does some other things that are wrong.
...14 “But suppose that son has a son of his own. And the son sees all of the sins his father commits. He sees them, but he does not do them.
...17 ... He will not die because of his father’s sin. You can be sure he will live. 18 But his father will die because of his own sin. He got rich by cheating others. He robbed his relatives. He also did what was wrong among his people.

19 “But you still ask, ‘Is the son guilty along with his father?’ No! The son did what was fair and right. He was careful to keep all of my rules. So you can be sure he will live.

Read the whole chapter and you will see I have not lifted the passage out of its context. I just skipped sections that elaborate on what they did or did not do.

…Many respond to this teaching with Romans 5:12, “Sin entered the world because one man sinned. And death came because of sin. Everyone sinned, so death came to all people.” Paul here is teaching that death is the universal CONSEQUENCE of sin and NOT a result of an INDIVIDUAL’S GUILT for sin as “original sin” teaches. Observe the context:

... as Paul goes on:

Romans 5:13 Before the law was given, sin was in the world. But sin is not judged when there is no law. 14 Death ruled from the time of Adam to the time of Moses. Death ruled even over those who did not sin as Adam did. He broke God’s command. But he also became a pattern of the One who was going to come.

Death is NOT a consequence of guilt for "original sin" but sin in general...

Ezekiel 18 is all about GUILT. God explains very clearly that guilt ONLY attaches for a person's OWN SIN. It CANNOT be inherited as the doctrine of "original sin" claims, thus the notion which forms the foundation of the argument is false as are all deductions based on it.

The doctrine can be traced to misunderstandings of Romans 5:12, along with a few Old Testament passages which relate to the CONSEQUENCES of sin in the world and NOT of GUILT FOR sin as gets clarified when we look at the context of the passage instead of lifting it from its context to prove a point.

Answer 6

People accusing you of wrongdoing and trying to shame you - with no proof - should be prosecuted for slander.

Nonexistent? or Nirvana. Or more than likely much, much worse than it is now.
