Subject: Is sin inherited from father and mother? |
Bible Note: disiplerami, "The spirit is from God. The child inherits the physical traits from the parents, but the spirit is from God. It is not tarnished with the parents' sins." What spirit is from God? The Holy Spirit that indwells? Does the Holy Spirit indwell all of us from conception or birth before we sin? Then why do children not have the preternatural gifts that Adam and Eve had before the fall? I did not say the a child was tarnished by his parent's personal sins but rather by the sin of Adam, the father of the human race. "That's what I believe. I could never teach someone that people are damned to hell because they were born in a depraved, sinful state and God didn't give them the gift of faith so as to repent and be saved." I think you have me confused with someone else here. I do not believe being born in the state of original sin damns one to hell. I do believe, absent sanctifying grace, that it bars one from the beatific vision or heaven. Unrepented personal sin is necesaary for damnation. May I ask again, where and at what point do you believe the Church went wrong on the doctrine of Original Sin? Emmaus |
