Subject: Is sin inherited from father and mother? |
Bible Note: I understand the dilemma, but disagree with the analysis. The Psalm 51 verse is interpretation, not translation. You say that "children must be taught good, but sin comes naturally." I say that both are taught. See a previous post for my explanation. "Why has no son of Adam succeeded?" Because life is made of millions of choices. There is the sin done in ignorance, there is the sin of omission and the sin of commission. While we sin we also choose to do a lot of things right. Man falls short, but that doesn't imply he is inherently evil. I believe that man is inherently good. Maybe you're a half empty guy and I'm a half full guy :). It seems that our debate is more bout perception. We are dividing over what we see in nature: your question about 'no son of Adam' shows this. I believe that my view is closer to the truth. Thanks. |
