Dr Carl R. Trueman - What is the Doctrine of Original Sin? Augustine & Original Sin - Part 1. Augustine & his Original Sin Doctrine - Winkie Pratney. Religions - Christianity: Original sin. What is the biblical evidence for original sin? There are several lines of biblical evidence for the historic Christian doctrine that we are all born into the world with sinful natures, due to the sin of Adam. Scripture says that we are born sinners and that we are by nature sinnersPsalm 51:5 states that we all come into the world as sinners: "Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me. " Ephesians 2:2 says that all people who are not in Christ are "sons of disobedience.
" Ephesians 2:3 also establishes this, saying that we are all "by nature children of wrath. " If we are all "by nature children of wrath," it can only be because we are all by nature sinners--for God does not direct His wrath towards those who are not guilty. God did not create the human race sinful, but upright. But we fell into sin and became sinful due to the sin of Adam. Scripture speaks of humans as unrighteous from infancy There are also verses which declare that we are all unrighteous from the time that we are born. Adam: The Original Sin. One of the 3 fundamental issues that Islam and Christianity disagree about is the original sin of Adam.

The Original Sin 1/3. Original sin (theology) -- Encyclopedia Britannica. Fr. Barron comments on The Fall. Original Sin —Ayn Rand Lexicon. Your code begins by damning man as evil, then demands that he practice a good which it defines as impossible for him to practice.
It demands, as his first proof of virtue, that he accept his own depravity without proof. It demands that he start, not with a standard of value, but with a standard of evil, which is himself, by means of which he is then to define the good: the good is that which he is not. It does not matter who then becomes the profiteer on his renounced glory and tormented soul, a mystic God with some incomprehensible design or any passer-by whose rotting sores are held as some inexplicable claim upon him—it does not matter, the good is not for him to understand, his duty is to crawl through years of penance, atoning for the guilt of his existence to any stray collector of unintelligible debts, his only concept of a value is a zero: the good is that which is non-man.
