If you subscribe to the belief in Original Sin, then we are all born with sin that must be forgiven, from Adam and Eve succumbing to Satan's temptation (Romans (RSV) 5:12-21).

thats right, only mary was born free from original sin (immaculate conception)
this is the kind of fantasy talk that over a billion people dont know they believe in:
The Immaculate Conception is a Roman Catholic dogma that asserts that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was preserved by God from the stain of original sin at the time of her own conception. Specifically, the dogma says she was not afflicted by the lack of sanctifying grace that afflicts mankind, but was instead filled with grace by God, and furthermore lived a life completely free from sin. It is commonly confused with the doctrine of the incarnation and virgin birth, though the two deal with separate subjects. According to the dogma, Mary was conceived by normal biological means, but her soul was acted upon by God (kept "immaculate") at the time of her conception.

That was actually a very good catch -- a lot of people don't realize that the Immaculate Conception is about Mary, not Jesus. The confuse it with the Virgin Birth.

well if anyone hear had actually read any arguments and thought about free will then youd have a decent answer or is this only for christian answers. like ive already said god creates seperation for it is the only way for true manisfestation of love, no control equals free choice. if he controlled us then life would be pointless and love or free will would not exist. because of free will and choice evil and good exist. that is why babies are born sick, storms occur, choices we make cause the effects such as sick babies etc.
i can elaborate if you want

monster idiocy again.
I hate christianity. How stupid can anyone be to believe this bs of the original sin because of what Adam and Eve did, who never existed in the first place. Also, that every one on this planet is a sinner from his birth on and the only way to overcome this is to pray pay to the catholic church or become a closet homo priest.

Hi Toxy.
From a biblical perspective in Genesis we see that Adam and Eve were created w/o sin. Then when they sinned, sin entered the world and affected everything negatively. Everything in the world has the taint of sin. Even plants which we find incredibly beautiful today were probably once much, much more beautiful and food was much more delicious.
So when babies are born, there is sin present. Now, do babies that die go to heaven? I believe YES! This is evidenced by King David's baby that died and 2 Samuel 12:23: "...now that he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me."
As far as Mary being born free from sin, that is found nowhere in the bible. It is one of the many things that the Catholic Church teaches that is not scriptural.
Donkey Kong, when you refer to the "catholic church" are you referring to the "Roman Catholic Church" or the "catholic church?"

The one and only church there is on this planet, with the pope in rome being God's secretary on earth, the Roman-Catholic church.
Biggest club of losers and mind-boggled idiots in whole human history.

just a simple observation, and im no christian. but what i find funny is so of the atheists talking about how noble and kind and moral they are yet, they call all others dumb and stupid, for there beleifs. and ridicule others. just a thought

If you are referring to me, i never called myself noble and kind and i'm not atheist.
I just hate monotheistic religions down to the core of my heart because they ruin this world. ;D

well thats rational, how bout you do a census on all the murderers who are atheists, compared to each respective religion then decide which is worse. unless youve done this then your statement holds no water. moster stereotyping going on here. what about all the good christians and bad atheists. my statement was based on an observation about how stella, and loco and collossus never resort to name calling while some of the atheists on here bash the shit out of them. some dont, im just saying stella rarely seems to mouth off neither does loco.

you're my hero bro ;D

you JUST noticed that...?
i salute your powers of selective observation! :)
-
no never just noticed it, but when your trying to prove a point, using emotions and assumptions rarely makes for a good argument. your statement was not even worth typing. i gave you a logical answer, and then stella gave you a biblical answer. you never retorted i guess we answered your question. are you closer to the light ;D

we get punished for the sins of our fathers but we also reap the rewards of what the jews and romans did to jesus(opening of the gates and all)
people actualyl believe this shit and live their "lives" accordingly ::)

so babies being born with sin is god giving us free will ¿

Stella is right. Immaculate Conception is Roman Catholic dogma that came about in answer to questions about Christ's divinity, how he could be born without sin, etc. It went that for Christ to be born without sin, his mother would need to be without sin, to include Original Sin. So she had to be born without Original Sin. Also, church leaders found biblical references to lend credence to this belief; she was hailed by the angel Gabriel as being "full of grace" (Luke 1:28) and she was assumed into Heaven without dying.
Eastern Orthodox Catholics and most Protestanst don't ascribe to this doctrine. And it is unfair and foolish for anyone to broadly paint all Christians with the same brush. There are HUNDREDS of different offshoots of Christianity.
And I'm failing to see where free will plays into this discussion.

yes he doesnt give us free will, the world, the universe operates under laws etc he provides but he does not intervene. hence earthquakes are caused by natural forces or free will, they are also important for planetary health. but actions the mother and father make from free will effect the child, as does it grandparents etc. he does not choose what conditions you have, you have to fend for yourself, there is no purpose otherwise, or no experience.
your choces have outcomes, some can be labeled bad or good, but they are merely outcomes. our morality gives them pertinent labels. a baby born with an illness is a genetic mutation that happened by chance, or free will. if he controlled you, would he be just by giving someone more or less, also would real faith adn love be possible, no. if he made you love him then we are just robots, but we are not robots it is quite obvious we have free will. it is soft determined in terms of needs and wants but we can CHOOSE to override them.
-
this all boilds down to grasping for straws and $$
sheep (for instance teh xtians on this board) want to believe that they wont ever not exist, or that they will get to ssee their dead loved ones again, or that someone actually cares and more imprortantly forgives what a shit they have been for most of their lives(converts) ...
and religious authorities are there every step of the way to offer ear candy and collect $$
:D

god does not intervene but gives an innocent baby a sin for the hell of it ???

becuase it is the correct critique based on logic. your story may be right but i dont believe it, although i am always open for change. i figure if it was the correct history and he gave us such open proof, why does everyone debate it, and why no more proof? so i like to use logic and philosophy to answer question, and free will applies strongly to the question of suffering.

i dont think you read my post, i didnt mention sin. i said life is about choices and outcomes, previous peoples choices such as eating habits, lifestyle affect there helth, and cause disease. similar to parents, and similar to everyone on the planet. a baby is the product of people having sex, not god deciding for them to have a baby, people have infinite choices like god, thus life is not determined like you ASSUME it to be
why doesnt god stop global warming!!!!!!! because it is a effect to the choices WE make and stopping them would make life pointless. if you only experience good things, and see good things you really dont know what good things are. to experience something is to experience difference and an obect and subject.

what logical mistakes are in my posts. NONE.

still does not explain why babies r born into sin?

The most foolish thing people can do is to limit God to human emotions and priorities.

no theres not. read some philosophy or science from a theistic perspective.
there is no sin, that is your assumption, why do you think there is good or bad. your morals. were did your morals come from?
god is infinite we are finite, we cant "know" god.

Personally, I don't believe in that doctrine. Not all Christians do. I believe that Adam and Eve brought sin into the world, and that is why there is suffering, but I believe that Christ saved us from anything like Original Sin.
-

i dont know, i dont care about christianity at the moment, and am ignorant to most of the text. so i wont respond.
but the one thing i wish people wouldnt do is follow others, make your own decision, dont beleive everything in the bible, people can write false things you know. it may contain some of his word (i think ozmo contends this) but is everything literal and true, probably not. im sure if he wanted us to adamantly know he existed he would let us know. there must be a reason for seperation.

oo i know...which is why my dad goes around saying that the old testament is the 'real' bible...

Well good for them. At least they believe in God in some form or fashion. And I'm assuming they aren't like the thousands of Muslims I am surrounded by every day that commit horrible crimes against each other with the convenient smokescreen of it all being in the name of religion. From my vantage point, the Koran ain't doing people much good, because they are still dropping like flies. All I know is that Jews aren't killing each other.
-
thats not adamant proof hence all the debate. proof beyond a reasonalble doubt is what im referring too. i sure he could make us beleive it is true in an instant if he wants.
how is it proof beyond a reasonalble doubt?
how are you sure the other religions arent correct. i base my thoery on logic, experience, and science. yours could be right as alll we have is faith at the end but i dont see how the book is proof when his children debate it.

meh..how many of the muslims you know there in iraq are actually educated?
take that into factor...
how many educated muslims do u see killing eachother..
see how extreme these idiots can get ..trust me..is also a surprise to our family and thousands and thousands like em..
christians and jews on the whole live in the first world educated nations...

And I'm not going to beat you over the head with the Bible. Its there for those who will believe. I made my own journey to the place I am now spiritually, and I came to decisions about my beliefs through a lot of study, questioning, and instrospection. Hell, when I was a teenager I made some girls in a Sunday School class cry because they couldn't prove to me that I should believe in Christ. Belief is sometimes HARD and SCARY. It is humbling to admit that you are NOT in control of your life, that there is a plan for you if you will trust in God and His will. A lot of people don't want to accept that, and thus the arguments about free will, etc. And people do have free will. I have found that the people who KNOW that they should surrender to God, yet fight it, have a very hard time. Yet they still h ave the "free will" so do what they want.
How about this. Go to war, have your HMMWV get blown up, survive without a scratch, and then you tell me that you are in control of your life. Better yet, attend the memorials for a dozen other soldiers (some Christians) that die because of similar incidences, and tell me you are in control of your life.
But I will sleep just fine at night if you keep telling God that He doesn't exist. That's between you and Him.

hey Jeff not sure if you read many of my posts but i am perhaps, at least lately, the most vocal defendant of god, and his exsistence. and i dont rely on the BOOK or parables. i rely on what god gave me. he gave me it should't i be able to figure out his exsistence based on rational inquiry.
glad you arrived at your decision, however, i dont think there is one path to god. he accepts all and none of HIS creations are better then others. how could they be. some of the christians teachings that i have seen argued dont make sense. but if it makes you feel close to god so be it, i have a different means to the same end.
