1 | Verses where water alone means baptism? | John 3:5 | flinkywood | 134552 | ||
Emmaus, The debate is less about what Catholics understand baptism to be than about what they understand it to atually do. As far as I know, Protestantism has no theology of "original sin", so the relation of water to washing to being born is not clear. Do you agree? If so, could you explain original sin and its relation to baptism? Colin. |

Greetings Colin! All of the protestant groups that I am familiar with certainly do believe in original sin. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim, Does Protestantism distinguish original sin from those quotidian sins of the flesh -- lust, envy, greed, etc.? Colin |

Greetings Colin! Yes! Original sin is the sin of Adam and Eve that results in all men be born depraved. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings Colin! That is twice now that I have had to consult a dictionary to answer your question! ;-) I believe that there is certainly an element of desire in original sin, but the main focus is on the headship of Adam. Adam and Eve sinned and as a result, death came upon us all. Thus, David could say in Ps. 51 that he was conceived in sin, and sinful from the time of conception. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim, In Catholic theology original sin is distinct from the sins of the flesh. Catholics view baptism as a sacrament (in that it effects what it symbolizes) that washes us clean of the former; the latter remains for us to struggle against with self-examination and confession. That struggle is integral to our sanctification. Interesting. Colin |
