The doctrine of 'original sin' is flawed critically.
If you don't mind my asking, what translation of the do Bible you use? I only ask because I've noticed that doctrine being 'flawed' is a claim that's frequently made by many theists.
Quote:DrichI understand this.
The 'Original Sin' did not happen between Man and God.
Quote:DrichI also understand, according to the Bible, that everyone is responsible for the sin they commit. That wasn't my point, though.
The Sin that A&E Commited was to eat from the tree of the Knoweledge of Good and Evil. If anything this knowledge in of itself is not sin, it just makes one responsible for the sin they commit.
In my post above, I was pointing out that the Biblical God was the one that cursed mankind with a sinful nature.
I just found it odd that your God would afflict mankind by making humans predisposed to sin (through no fault of their own) and then offer a cure. Or choice, as you put it.
