I was truly amazed by just how much damage the original sin teaching is causing in professing Christianity today, where many perverted groups who claim to be of Christ, are using this sin nature excuse to continue to induldge themselves in this perversion, and giving permission to the lukewarm masses to sin with impunity because we all are sin machines unable to stop!
The Absurdity of ‘Born a Sinner’
This is a long and jagged road with thousands of detours along the way. But they all lead to the same destination …. Perdition! The fallacy of human depravity has many forms in the minds of ‘believers’. Some see it as an ‘inbred nature’ that enviably brings about their sinful behavior. Others called it simply my ‘sinful nature’ and blame it on every addiction known to man. The scholars dwell into the ‘depravity’ angle and conclude that all mankind is born in a state of total degeneracy wholly disposed to wickedness and cut off from God.
Professed believers don’t really like to think of themselves as ‘totally depraved’ but they do key in on the inbred sin myth as their perfect excuse for wrong doing. That makes this teaching the Central core doctrine in the minds of supposed Christians and totally facilitates the Substitutionary plan of Salvation. But you really have to go out onto a limb to find support for it in the Bible. The main reason for this is because it ‘defies’ Logic. Man Cannot be ‘Born’ a sinner, without the ability to obey God’s commands and also possess free will to choose between right and wrong. One cancels out the other. If I can CHOOSE then I can OBEY, which also translates into making a conscience decision to STOP sinning.
God told Cain: ‘If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.” Gen4:7
Cain was born from the loins of Adam AFTER the expulsion from the Garden, which would give him the ‘awful’ sinful nature most people believe in. However God gave him a definite Choice between good and bad. Of course most Scholars would claim that Cain was either ‘elect’ or had the ability to make a right choice. YET this passage contradicts them in both directions! This passage PROVES beyond any shadow of a doubt that man not only has a Choice between right and wrong but also the ability to REASON with God. Isa1:16-20 appeals to sense of determination:
Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil, Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow. Come now, and let us reason together, Says the Lord,
Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool. If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land; But if you refuse and rebel, You shall be devoured by the sword For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
Take a break from your daily sinning in thought, word and deed and try to analyze this passage. God is appealing to your ability to reason; CLEAN up your act, amend your evil ways, LEARN to do good!!! Despite what has been pounded into your brains about addiction and sin natures, you know DEEP DOWN that people are fully capable of beating their addictions. Every day people stop drinking, smoking, taking drugs or living a life of uncontrollable lust. It’s not easy, of course, BUT it is possible …. and WITHOUT the supposed assistance of the Holy Spirit. (that professed believers who live in these additions claim to have!)
Yes among ‘believers’ its’ sin, sin and more sin, and every excuse in the world to absolve them of wrong. In all matters of life they exercise their God given free will to make life changing decisions, but when it comes to Obeying God (as in the Isaiah passage) they are immediately rendered inoperative. THINK about it ….. be honest for a change. HOW can what you believe be in line with the Bible when ‘ceasing to do evil’ is considered a ‘Works’ Salvation? The following summarizes the great injury sin nature teaching has done in the minds of people exposed to it. Here’s quote from one deeply addicted to fleshly corruption who has reasoned to the logical conclusion that ‘believing sinners’ have no place to Judge others no matter how vile the sin.
“I am a lesbian and I want to ask some questions that's been on my mind I wasn't sure to ask them but I thought well only way to find out is to ask so here I go. People say it is wrong to be a homosexual but is it wrong for them to worship God? I lost my religion years back and God helped me back to his path but my sexuality hasn't changed so does this mean that God is ok with it? We all sin everyday even when we ask for forgiveness and we sin and sin and sin again and again, but as people say it is a sin to be homosexual but the people who say this are sinners also so why do homosexuals have to get judged by them and get attacked and get told change your ways?”
Truly, this only I have found: That God made man upright, But they have sought out many schemes. Ecc7:29
‘Upright’ in this passage is like the opposite of perverse. It means: Straight, level, correct, Right and pleasing. And sin Cannot be transferred from a father to his off-spring. ‘The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son’ Ezk18:20 ‘The soul who sins shall die!’ Therefore it’s commonsense logic that neither can we bare the guilt of Adam because he disobeyed God in the Garden or imagine that somehow his sin caused man to be born defective with a mysterious ‘Dual Nature’. A person’s addiction to sin came about by their own personal choices to gratify the lust of the flesh instead of obey God. That’s why the Bible says: ‘If you live according to the flesh you will die’ Rom8:6.
Not that ‘flesh’ of itself is corrupt or inbred with a kind of malady, but the DESIRES of the flesh have ‘Grown’ corrupt by constant indulgence in wrong doings.
Claiming that some ‘nature’ lurks within your flesh that causes you to sin, is like jesting that the ‘devil made me to it!’ But isn’t that EXACTLY what the absurdity of inbred sin has done in the minds of people? Giving them an iron clad excuse to pass off their responsibility to do what is right! When even a confessed ‘lesbian’ can call you out on such a pretense isn’t it time to fess up to God and put the blame where it belongs? (on yourself!) www.standingthegap.org

This is why Jesus spoke of himself as the son of man. Jesus is the First and the last and in this way the sins for the whole of humankind from the first Adam to the Last Adam are paid for and that's what is so amazing.
