Blessings Brothers & Sisters,,,,,
Angels4u started a Thread ,a fun thread where we ask & ask Biblical questions,,,,,I asked the question "Is the Doctrine of ORIGINAL SIN taught in the Bible",I happened to be reading a piece that was about the mis-application of Psalm 51,the common reference to support the teachings of "Original Sin" & 5 things to consider as a rebuttle,,,,,,,as to whether or not it is REALLY a "DOCTRINE"
There is no doubt that because of what occurred that DAY in the Garden,WE all need Jesus ,,,,we are "sinful" by nature etc,,,etc,,,,,, but the question is,,,,,,,Is it a DOCTRINE,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,my answer was "No"& I explained why I believe it is not a doctrine,,,,,,,understand I am not saying that we are not fallible due to original sin & inevitably so but I am saying I do not hold fast to the denominational DOCTRINES teaching we are born in "Original Sin" & will perish into everlasting torment from birth(up to the "age of reasoning"),,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,it is up for debate,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Please,there will obviously be differing opinions,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,let us respect one another,consider what the other is saying(& why) and simply 'reason TOGETHER",,,,,,if the discussion becomes less than "Worthy" then I will request it be deleted or locked,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,May the Holy Spirit lead us into all TRUTH and flow through each of us,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,no one here is EXCUSIVELY ELECT,CHOSEN,GNOSTIC,,,,,,we are ALL members of the Same Bodt with Christ as our Head
Let us give God Glory in ALL things With love-in Christ,Kwik
