“519) Original sin  One of the most odious concepts Christianity has foisted on mankind is the doctrine that the sin of one man caused the condemnation of all people who would live thereafter. This is the doctrine of original sin. It is was capsulized by the Apostle Paul in Romans 5: 17-19: For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men. For as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous. There is no imaginable reason why a god would condemn people because somebody else did something wrong. It goes against every aspect of every legal system existing on the Earth. It goes against common sense and decency. If anyone today punished a child because his father or uncle did something wrong, he would be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Yet, Christians continue to worship a god who did just that. Why did Christianity adopt this senseless idea? Most likely it was done to give power to the priests who controlled the sacrament of baptism, forcing fearful parents to quickly have their children baptized to avoid having them sent to Hell. The concept of original sin is not consistent with the nature of an almighty deity, and it is compelling evidence that Christianity is the illogical product of unenlightened men.” “Consider some of the sins listed in the Torah and try to find the common denominator they all share: You can’t cut your sideburns. You have to be circumcised. You can’t work on Sunday You can’t eat animals with cloven hoofs. You can beat your slaves, kill your children and sell your daughters. If you have a wet dream you have to leave the camp for several days until you’re spiritually clean again. Slavery is still approved of, and slaves or told to obey they masters at least 4 times. Working on Sunday is now okay. Not believing the story of Jesus is a now a worse sin than murder. Divorce isn’t a sin if the wife fornicates. Women shouldn’t wear pearls or gold, and they should either cover their heads during prayer or shave their heads. Not eating pork, rabbit, and shellfish, not wearing mixed fabrics, not having sex during a woman’s menstrual period, no cross-dressing, no homosexuality, no transgenderism, applying the death penalty to working on Sabbath and charging interests on loans. In my view, these are all extremely grotesque rules! Most people don’t have the “Hitler” spirit, so original sin doesn’t apply to most people. Being imperfect means growing for the better in the form of responding well to one’s own weaknesses and being a sinner means having the “Hitler” spirit. There are many of those in religious leadership and outside of religious leadership who disbelieve in God, are privately denying all of the traditional religious beliefs, sending violent threats and death threats to those who disagree with their vocal support of conservative theology, and living the prosperity gospel lifestyles while proclaiming the need to abide by all of the traditional religious beliefs. It doesn’t make any sense for a deity to invent original sin-humans and then make them abide by its ceremonial laws, moral laws, Levitical laws, and Deuteronomy Codes. Paganism and Christianity are intertwined, there is a pantheon of deities within, Polytheism, Christianity and Paganism (which all three share), Polytheism and Christianity have a correlation, the names of the gods within the shared pantheon of Christianity, Polytheism, and Paganism showed that Paganism influenced Christianity (not just the rituals, Biblical character names, and weekday titles.) God didn’t protect adults and children in both Testaments. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support
