Genesis is not fact, there for Jesus is not necessary?
#10
RE: Genesis is not fact, there for Jesus is not necessary?
Original sin first appeared with Augustine and was adopted by the Church of Rome and later incorporated into the Reformed churches. For most denominations, original sin is a central doctrine. That said, I do not think the doctrine (with which I disagree by the way) does not require decent from a single set of parents, i.e. Adam and Eve., as demanded by Evangelicals. As an allegory, it describes the human condition, our state prior to acceptance of Christ’s saving work.

I don't have time right now, but I'm sure you'll want to know about the Gospel genealogies.
