Is "original sin™" God's special way of saying that he can't get over a grudge?

Answer 1

Can an all powerful god create a grudge that is so grudgy that even he can't begrudge it?

Answer 2

Original sin is not a christian thing --is a Catholic church thing. We are born into sin--in that we are born into this world of sin.We suffer the consequences of the sin of Adam & Eve,the sin of our parents. If the mother used drugs during pregnancy than the child is born a junkie. If the mother smoked or drank the child can be born with problems. The drugs(prescription or not) and alcohol can cause birth defects in the child. If the parents had HIV/AIDS the child is born with that. That is what I mean the child suffers from the sin of the parents---the child is innocent.
We can't understand sin as a baby or small child.
I wrote all of this without a spelling error--is that possible for everyone else. One ask a good question but the misspelling makes them appear stupid

Answer 3

IF God cannot get over a grudge, why did He send Jesus to forgive us of the sin, that we commit? It is not Adam and Eve's fault that we fall short of His glory- we do that very well on our own. Why is it so hard to accept the fact that Jesus loves us, so much that He chose to be hung on the Cross and die a cruel death so that we do not have to be separated from God? We are the ones that condemn ourselves not God.

Answer 4

I wish that even those people who come here just to throw dung like a bunch of monkeys could at least come up with something that makes sense.

The dictionary defines grudge as "a feeling of ill will or resentment".

Yeah. I can see why He would allow His Son to die a miserable death for the love of people when He has a 'grudge' against them.

Answer 5

It's simply a label attached to man's refusal to submit to G-d's will. We begin our lives symbolically washing away this stain, but in no way do we say an infant is a sinner. Baptism welcomes a new person to the Church's community (the people, not the building, make the Church). G-d doesn't hold grudges, he doesn't have to.

Answer 6

Original sin and that every one is born sinner because of the sin of Adam and Eve is a concept created by Christian so they can convince pagans to accept Jesus to get their sin or else hey will be burned in hell.

Islam teaches us that when a child is born he/she is purely sinless. No one is responsible for sin of his parents or the forefathers.

When Adam and Eve did disobey God, they reprented to God and God did forgive them for their disobedience. God was merely testing and teaching them to never disobey God. Nothing is hidden from God. He knew that Adam and Eve were tricked by satan.

God did send them on earth because He had prepared this earth for mankind to settle them here and not because they sinned.

Answer 7

Now, now, I wouldn't blame original sin on God. That's a totally man-made concept, created solely to enslave people and keep them loyal to a power-structure - the church.


Hmmmm, well I guess I could say the same things about God...

Answer 8

And thousands of years later, there are still people (like yourself perhaps) that can't get over the grudge they hold against God.

If evolution is real, why are there still grudges?

Answer 9

Original sin is a Catholic concept. It defies the scripture's teachings that we are personally responsible for our actions.

Answer 10

You choose what is a sin or not. God does not hold grudges.
God gives you the choice, if it doesn't feel good in your heart, then, don't do it. If it's going to bring harm, then don't do it.
God Bless
