Subject: Is sin inherited from father and mother? |
Bible Note: disciplerami, "Sin brings spiritual death. The curse that followed Adam's sin and death, brought about physical death. Physical death is felt by all because of Adam's sin. But only when we sin like Adam, does spiritual death spread to us." This seems rather inconsistent to me. Why would we get the punishment of physical death for Adam's sin, but not the spiritual death? If Adam was spiritually dead, how could he pass on to his progeny spiritual life? Job 14:4 asks: "Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? There is not one." And of course there are the other passages quoted by others including: Romans 5:12-21. It would seem that not merely the consequences of Adam's sin is passed on but also the guilt of his sin, although only later do we incur guilt for our own personal sin. Hence the distinction between original (Adam's)sin and actual (personal) sin. Where, at what point, do you think the Church went wrong in the doctrine of original sin? Emmaus |
