IS MAN A BORN SINNER?

In the name of Creator most merciful and beneficent

What the theory of original sin which is being propagated by many of the preachers of these days is that- “In the beginning Adam and Eve had committed to the transgression of the commandment of God which was regarded to be sin and it is being transmitted from man to man engulfing whole mankind. Therefore every man is having the sinful nature as he is born in the original sin. As a solution for it, a lot of animals’ blood was shed in the Old Testament. However expected change was not come in the human beings. Having failed in this project, God to protect the mankind from falling into the hell, He himself had incarnated in the form of Jesus (According to some God has sent his beloved Son) and shed the blood on the cross as a ransom on behalf of the original sin and all sins of mankind.”

ORIGINAL SIN - IS IT A REASONABLE THEORY?

So many children die because of different reasons. If anybody declares that those children being in such an infancy stage, are going to be thrown in to hell fire because of they was born in the original sin in spite of having no any connection with the sin committed by Adam, would there be such ridiculous and foolish theory in the world than it? Can a real believer say that the God of justice make such an injustice judgement in case of innocents? In case of an infant dies unfortunately in the home of such preacher who propagates the theory of original sin, can he declare that infant will be thrown into the hell? Then how he is declaring that every human being is a born sinner? Now let us see what the declaration of Jesus in case of the children in the following verse.

But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven. – Matthew 19:14

According to the saying of Jesus “for of such is the kingdom of heaven” it is made clear that Jesus never have imagined that man is born in the sin. And in another place Jesus says “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven” (Mat 18:3). If it is true that every human being is born in the original sin could Jesus ever have proclaimed saying “you should become as little children?” Importantly Jesus says that nobody is responsible for the others sins as follows.

Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned... – John 9:1-3

Thus Jesus has condemned the superstitious doctrine of original sin. Moreover Jesus says that – “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” (Mat 5:32). If all human beings become as born sinners having been transmitted the sin committed by Adam as presumed by the church, could Jesus ever have discriminated as “righteous and sinners?” In this way Jesus clarifies that all human beings are not the born sinners because of Adam had committed the sin in the beginning.

IS THE ORIGINAL SIN NOT TRANSMITTED TO JESUS?

What the contention of so many preachers is that- because of the every human being is born in the original sin, Jesus has born to a virgin without the biological father because of the need of a sinless blood to be offered for atonement. Let us take it for granted to be true, Jesus did not have a biological father but he had earthly mother Mary and he is also the descendant of Adam and born as a man. If we read the chapter of Genesis we find to have the forbidden fruit was first eaten by Eve the spouse of Adam, who in turn made Adam to eat it. According to this both Adam and Eve were involved in the same sin of transgression. Thus Eve also was equal responsible for the original sin which is being transmitted to every human being. Then the sin of Eve naturally inherited to Mary. If it is true that the original sin of Adam is being transmitted hereditarily to every human being, when Mary the daughter of Adam conceived Jesus, he instantly inherited the original sin from her. Interesting thing is that Jesus himself proclaims as “I am the Root and the Offspring of David” (Rev 22:16) but he does not say that “I am the Root and Offspring of God!” According to the theory of original sin being propagated today is taken to be true, Jesus who was born with the “sinful root” of the lineage of David the descendant of Adam, must inherited the original sin undoubtedly. According this it is made clear that how much of this theory of original sin is meaningless and ridiculous.

THE THEORY OF ORIGINAL SIN - IS IT BIBLICAL?

“Tertullian an Alexandrian theorist first propounded that the man is a born sinner therefore he must have been baptized when he born, thus he paves the way to be emerged the word of “Original Sin”. Afterwards bishop Suprean who inspired with the teachings of Tertullian also described that the sin of Adam is like an epidemic and it is being transmitted hereditarily by means of the conjugal relation.”
Ref: Tatha Wiley Original sin – Developments Contemporary meanings. Page No. 46-49

According to this it is made clear that the theory of Original Sin is not of Biblical but has been fabricated by some theologians.

EVERYBODY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS OWN SINS – THE PROCLAMATION OF BIBLE.

Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall children be put to death for their fathers; a person shall be put to death for his own sin. Deu 24:16

But every one shall die for his own iniquity; every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge. Jeremiah 31:30

The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself. -Ezekiel 18:20

Not only in the above verses but we find in so many verses of Bible to have been proclaimed as nobody is responsible for others sins and everybody is responsible for his own sins. If this be the fact, how far it is correct to preach that the first sin of Adam is being transmitted hereditarily to every human being therefore to come out of it one should be baptized in the blood of Jesus?

ACCORDING TO PAUL IS JESUS CARRYING THE SINS OF WHOLE MANKIND?

What the teaching of so many preachers is that- “due to the every human being born in sin Jesus has come to carry the sins of all human beings.” If it is true let us see what Paul says in the following verse?

But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For each one shall bear his own load. – Galatians 6:4, 5

What the considerable fact that Paul discloses in the above verse is that “For each one shall bear his own load.” This means everybody should bear his own load of sins but Jesus does not bear our own load of sins. In this regard let us have a glance over another interesting verse in the following.

So then each of us shall give account of himself to God. –Romans 14:12

According to the above verse we are not responsible for the sin committed by Adam and no anybody is responsible for our own sins. But everybody is responsible for his own sins and he should give account of himself to God.

DOES JESUS TAKE THE WEIGHT OF OUR SINS ON HIM?

What the teaching of many of the preachers in general is that- Jesus was appointed for carry out the act of atonement, was put on the cross and crucified on half of the sinners and thus he would save the all sinners from the hell. This propagation destroys the feeling of disgusting towards the evil in the people of Christian countries. The great proof for this is that- we find the Christian countries to have been registered in committing murders, rapes, prostitution, robberies, homosexuality etc., in the top ten list of more Crime rate Countries in the world. But what Jesus strongly says is that- everyone is having the own responsibility of their sins and everyone will have to be punished for their sins is irrefutable truth of which can be seen in the following teaching of Jesus.

If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched where ‘Their worm does not die And the fire is not quenched.’ And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched - where ‘Their worm does not die, And the fire is not quenched.’ And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire where ‘Their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’ – Mark 9:43-48

The above verse is the stringent warning of Jesus to the sinners wherein what we have to observe is that- if it is true that Jesus has been sent to take the weight of the sins of whole sinners up on him, then what for Jesus ordered as “which organs cause you to sin, cut it off” instead of saying as “clean those organs that cause you to sin in my blood?” Therefore it is made clear that every sinner should have the personal control over the sins, except that, no any power to the blood make a sinner control over the sins. The Bible clearly mentions that one will have to get the “prize and punishment” depending up on one’s own “good and evil” deeds which can be seen as follows.

For He repays man according to his work, and makes man to find a reward according to his way. – Job 34:11

Moreover Jesus says the same thing as follows.

But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the Day of Judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned. – Matthew 12:36, 37

But Jesus not says as “I would bear the all sins of the sinners so no need to fear any sinner regarding his sins!” As a matter fact, when it is written in the Bible that “each of us shall give account of himself to God” then it is obvious that there will be the God’s judgement that everybody will have to be punished or prized according to their “good” and “evil” deeds. We can see this same point to have mentioned by Paul in the following corroborative verse.

But glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For there is no partiality with God. – Romans 2:9, 10

According to the so far analysis it is crystal clear that according to one’s own “good and evil” deeds only one will have to be prized or punished but Jesus or anybody will not bear the burden of others sins.

In fact, the virtue and sin cannot be inherited genetically as if the genetical diseases transmitted from father to his son but if anybody commit sin transgressing the commandment of God like Adam or anybody then only the sin can be credited to one’ own account. But to preach as the sin of Adam is transmitting from man to man hereditarily can be quite contrary to the Bible. Therefore we came to know that “MAN IS NOT A BORN SINNER” which fact was revealed by so far analysis in the light of Bible. May God bestow the knowledge to understand these facts and follow accordingly. –Amen
