INHERITED SIN (ORIGINAL SIN) BY STEVE FINNELL
Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden. Does all mankind inherit Adam's sin?
The doctrine of "Inherited Sin" (Original Sin) is as follows: The guilt of Adam's sin is imputed to all men. Man is by nature totally depraved. Even infants in their mother's womb are infected, which produces in man all sorts of sin. Original sin is forgiven only by baptism, hence when an unbaptized baby dies it cannot enter the kingdom of God.
Is inherited sin taught in Scripture or is it a man-made tradition?
If all men are born sinners, that would make Jesus guilty of sin.
WAS JESUS GUILTY OF SIN?
Hebrews 2:9-17 .......17 Therefore, He had to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.
Jesus was made like us in all things. According to the advocates of inherited sin, that would make Jesus guilty of sin.
Hebrews 7:24-26 but Jesus....26 For it was fitting for us to have a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners and exalted above the heavens;
Jesus was not guilty of original sin or any other kind of sin.
There are only two kinds of sin mentioned the Bible sins of omission and committed sins.
SINS OF OMISSION
James 4:17 Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.
Matthew 25:41-46 'Then He will also say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared foe the devil and his angels; 42 for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink..................
Are infants guilty of the sin of omission? Obviously not.
COMMITTED SINS
1 John 3:4 Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.
Do babies, in their mother's womb, practice sin? I do not think so.
John 3:19 This is the judgement, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.
Do infants love the darkness because their deeds are evil? I know of not one infant committing evil deeds.
John 8:34 Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.
Are babies in the womb committing sins, therefore making themselves slaves to sin? No they are not.
Colossians 1:21 And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds,
Did the apostle Paul mean they were engaged in evil deeds when they were in the womb, infants, or small children? No.
Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, "Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to me, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
It the proponents of inherited sin (original sin) are correct, Jesus was saying; the kingdom of heaven belongs to these totally depraved little sinners.
When we all stand before Jesus on Judgment Day, if we are condemned, it will be because of our own unforgiven sins. We will not be sent to hell because of Adam's sin.
