Original Sin
The False Doctrine of Generational Sin
Original sin is a false doctrine of man. More scatology from St. Augustine’s sin of inheritance. The putrid fruits of which, have caused nothing but unnecessary grief and pain for parents through Millennia.
Scriptures often misused:
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.” Romans 5:12-13 This verse is perfectly correct. God told Adam, “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” Genesis 2:17 Adam lost his celestial body and was given a terrestrial body. From that point, ALL (not many) humans had a finite number of days; so it is true, death is unavoidable, because of Eve and Adam. Moreover, Paul amplifies one’s innocence when there “is no law”, or conscience of accountability to the heart law.
“For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.” Romans 5:19 MANY (not all). By Eve, later Adam, sin, and God’s curse were released upon the earth. Now the dust creature is living in a new domain of physics, working by the sweat of our brow, exacerbating free will. Thus free will, be it righteous or sinful is just that, a person’s choice. Therefore, existence is a clean slate, not a mandated mantle of sin. This sinlessness is demonstrated by many in the old and New Testaments. Perhaps you will be the first theological fool to proclaim, that Jesus was sinful in His youth.
“Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.” Exodus 20:5-6 This is not God saying, you will have the sin of your 4th great grandfather upon you. This is a righteous God proclaiming that IF that 4th great grandchild “hates me”, through bowing down to idols, I will remember and bring the same judgment of your ancestors upon them. This is clarified and proven with “The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.” Deuteronomy 24:16
“For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.” 1st Corinthians 15:22 This was the curse of mortality, at the eviction from the garden; death, not sin, and ALL that are Christ’s, will be raised alive on the last day. This is proven by “To each man is appointed death then after that the judgment.” Hebrews 9:27
“Behold I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.” Psalm 51:5 Simply an ungodly thought, deed, or union.
Truth:
A loving God will not condemn someone for a sin they did not commit.
Use These Sinless Scriptures:
“Enoch walked with God and he was not for God took him.” Genesis 5:24, “Enoch pleased God.” Hebrews 11:5
“Noah was just and perfect and walked with God.” Genesis 6:9
“Asa’s heart was perfect with the Lord all his days.” 1 kings 15:14
“Job was perfect and upright feared God and eschewed evil.” Job 1:1
Jesus “Be ye perfect even as our heavenly father is perfect.” Matthew 5:48
John the Baptist. “For he should be great in the sight of the Lord and shall drink neither wine and strong drink and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost even from his mother’s womb.” Luke 1:15
“Jesus answered, neither has this man sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God should be manifest in him.” John 9:3
“For the children not yet born neither have done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that call is.” Romans 9:11
“For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.” 2 Peter 2:21
“And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.” Revelation 14:5
So everyone is sinless until some nebulous ‘point of accountability’? One day the child is sinless, and the next day they suddenly acquire Adam’s sin. This is insanity based on vain traditions, which torment parents with grievous guilt from the feeble-minded clergy.
The above scriptures in both the Old and New Testament, show that many walked perfectly with God, including the 144,000; which prove that there is no original sin, it is acquired.
Therefore the unevangelized, those with a mental disability, infants, and even more so, the innocent aborted fetuses; are the ultimate proof, that humans are sinless until they actually sin.
