The Doctrine Of Original Sin In Roman Catholic Religion

"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death" (Rom 8:1-2). Paul believes if you are in Christ Jesus, then you will be saved. Because of Jesus ' selflessness, he has freed us from sin and death. God had created the world

In Romans 1-8 Paul is writing to teach the doctrine of Christ. Although Paul goes into much more depth in these eight chapters, his message ultimately boils down to the following sentence. We have all sinned and deserve death, however, through the redemption and sanctification of Christ we have been saved and should now lead, Christ centered lives of faith.

Original sin leads back to the first two humans put on the newly created planet Earth. These people were named Adam and Eve. God put them in a garden called Eden, and they had the right to eat anything in their inhabitancy, with one minor restriction. Adam and Eve were assigned one tree that bared its fruit, which they could not pleasure their hungry bellies from. Both of them were well aware of this rule set out in front of them, except there became a test before Adam and Eve one day. Eve was all alone in the garden of Eden when a snake appeared and started talking to her. This serpent convinced Eve to eat the fruit from the forbidden tree, saying to her that she would gain god-like powers. God did not make talking snakes though, so it is easy to see that this was an

Understand the various incorrect views regarding the nature or definition of sin as provided in the textbook and the lectures.

Through the pass of time the word “Sin” started getting an abroad concept which depended on who was describing it. According to ancient Hebrews and Greeks the word “Sin” had two major concepts and translation. One of them was to transgress, which means “to step across” or “to go beyond a set boundary or limit.” The second one was “to miss the mark”. Both concepts implied going to a certain direction and not going to the directions that was intended to go.

Examine the role of sin (or transgression) in three texts that we have discussed in the latter half of this semester.

Original sin is a widely discussed issue in theology. Original sin is a gift bestowed upon mankind from the actions of betrayal displayed by Adam and Eve to God. Two prominent theologians who have spoken about original sin are Reinhold Niebuhr and Valerie Saving. Niebuhr’s explorers the debatable notion of original sin. Meanwhile Savings focuses on woman in theology; how both genders do not share the same values in sin.

“First, humans are created in the image of God (Genesis 1:26-28). Second, after the fall of Adam and Eve into sin, all humans are sinful by nature (Genesis 6:5; Romans 3:9-23)”. (“Departure from Wisdom”, Diffey, n.d., para. 9). In the beginning God created humans in his image and placed them in the Garden of Eden to live and work. They had dominion over the earth. In this time there was no sin. Once Adam and Eve were tempted and ate from the tree that was forbidden this all changed. This act introduced the sin into the world. Because of this temptation could be considered of one of humanity’s

What is sin? The bible refers to sin as breaking the law of God.(1 John 3:4) The bible also refers to sin as rebellion against God. (Joshua 1:18) Sin began when Satan was still an angel of God and was not satisfied with his placement. He aspired to be more powerful than God, and this was Satan’s first sin. (Isaiah 14:12-15) When Satan came to earth and tempted Adam and Eve (Genesis 3), he bought sin along with him for everyone else in the world too. Since then, sin as be brought down from generations. And because everyone is descendants of Adam, we all inherit the habits of sin. (Romans 5:12) I believe that because we were all born into sin, that everyone will

Reinhold Niebhur’s views on Original sin fall in line with my own actually; I do believe that man is inherently evil with power to do good. As much of a blessing that free will is, I believe it to also be a curse because nothing good comes free. With the freedom to make our decisions comes the responsibilty to not only know but also to understand the effects of them. Every action has a reaction, and sin is the reaction to free will. Niebuhr holds that man is responsible for his unintentional sins, even if there was no malice. Niebuhr argues through Pauline teachings that sin is essential; especially with man’s tendency for self-glorification. Pauline teachings indicate that human sin is an “inevitable defect” derived from the sin of the “first man”.

The doctrine of sin has significance through one’s personal life, there Church and, within their community as a whole. Personally, my theology concerning sin is twofold similar to Martin Luther and Dale Moody. Original sin from Adam and Eve is imparted upon all mankind. Therefore, all are condemned without the covering sacrifice that Jesus did for all of us. However, if one has not reached the age of accountability and dies, God in His mercy pardons Original Sin. Furthermore because they have not reached maturity to fully understand there Actual Sin, God in His mercy pardons them for Actual Sin as well. So if one has not reached the age of accountability they are welcomed into the kingdom of God in Heaven.

Romans 3:23 says, “for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God” (ESV). Romans 6:23 states, “for the wages of sin is death…” God’s wrath is against all who do not know Him, against all who deny Him. Every person stands before God as a guilty sinner who deserves God’s wrath to be poured out upon them. However, the remaining portion of Romans 6:23, gives hope in the midst of this terrible news. Paul says that, “the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (ESV). How is this possible? Because God chose to send His Son as the sacrifice who would pay the debt for any and everyone who trusts in Christ as Savior. As the penal substitution, Christ not only offers salvation to sinners, but He took on their sins and bore God’s wrath on the cross. Jesus experienced the imputation of the sins of the world upon Himself, so that believers could be imputed with His righteousness. “He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so He opened not His mouth” (Isaiah 53:7). He willingly stood in our place; He willingly took our punishment; He willingly bore the wrath that every sinful person

As we look at verses (7:7-12) we see what the law is and how we can define it whether it is sin or not. In looking at verses (7:13-14) we see the cause of death, in many cases people have said that the law is the cause of death but in the text we will see that sin is the true cause of death. As we look at the following passage we see a turn of events in verses (7:14-24), As we see the author change directions in his writings we see him talk about the inner struggle that comes through sin and how as a unbeliever he struggled with the temptations that sin brings forth. The next passage that we will discuss is verses (7:24-25), without a doubt we see that the answer to the inner struggle is a Savior that comes through Jesus Christ our lord. This last part of the paper talks about the remedy of the inner struggle that comes to all people that struggle with sin in an unconverted state. This paper investigates a passage that has been used throughout the ages as evidence to take the law away and yet it has also been used as a passage to enforce strict guidelines to the law. After reading this paper hopefully you will have a good perspective on how the law works in your faith today.

Genesis 3: 6, 1 John 2:16, and Luke 4 gives an idea what sin is. In Genesis 3:6, think of the fruit as sin. The woman in Genesis 3 was tempted by that sin because it look pleasing to the eye. This would be considered lust of the eyes stated in 1 John 2:16. The happiness in sin does not last forever as mention in 1 John 2:17. Proof of this is the banishment of Adam and Eve found in Genesis. If you put your love and trust God we would be able to fend off sin like temptation. Happiness in sin is brief but if you put your happiness in God it will be forever. Luke 4 proves that complete faith in God will fend off sin. There is on major difference between Genesis 3:6, 1 John 2:16, and Luke 4. Genesis 3:6 tells of the first sin commited among Man

     Before Adam and Eve’s decision there was no sin or death, because of their actions we now have to deal with both. This brings up the question of where original sin came from. We know that God cannot create evil, so it did not come from Him. He gave man free will. From this man went against God and therefore created sin. Because of this we know have inherited depravity. We can not
