Being bombarded with lies

If you think this is a new thing to just the last 8 years you have not been paying attention prior to that. 

Let's put it this way. Deception has ESCALATED during the last eight years. Also the arch liar of the Democrats was allowed to run for the highest office in the land.  That should tell you something.

If one has to ask this question, it reveals a very serious deficiency in the knowledge of Gospel Truth.  So kindly start at Genesis and then go from there.

Can't answer a multiple choice question with only two options? And I have a "very serious deficiency..."? 

To funny!

Why ask the question anyway?

Because the competing doctrines of evil inclination vs original sin should be delineated.

I do not disagree, but I also think the deception has been escalating for decades.  There is a linear progression with each admin being worse than the one before it.  I look back at Nixon and say by today's standards we owe that man an apology.

Reading these threads and being an old man, something came to mind, and not too far off topic.

Growing up there was a term used I heard frequently, and haven't heard it used since I don't know when? Whether is was the President, Congressman, Mayor, Butcher or the Barber, but mostly our leadership... At least he's a God fearing man. 

For you old fogies out there, ring any bells?

The Bible says original sin stick with the Bible.

The concept of the evil inclination comes from the Bible and has easily been around 1500 years before the doctrine of original sin.

Actually "original sin" as taught by the Catholic Church is perfectly in line with Scripture, so your objection to it is a rejection of Bible truth. Here's the definition from the New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia, and I already provided the Scriptures which teach exactly this:

Original sin may be taken to mean:

(1) the sin that Adam committed;

(2) a consequence of this first sin, the hereditary stain with which we are born on account of our origin or descent from Adam.

So how you came up with "evil inclination" is very questionable.

Judaism 101

• Humanity was created in the "image" of the Creator
• The "image" of the Creator is the ability to discern and reason
• Humanity has an inclination to both good and evil
• Free will is the ability to choose which inclination to follow

Amen, amen, amen Ezra! ..............oh, and "fake news."  The new words for lies.
