Immanuel Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Hi Scholars, How would you define original sin. Assuming everyone has this, how does it manifest itself in people's lives. What about REALLY holy people...like saints...how could this be evident in their lives too? Thanks for your thoughts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I've always visualized Original Sin as our human condition. We have to fight against our basest desires. We would eat and drink as much of anything that is bad for us. We'd be as selfish as a three year old, in a sexualized body without a moral compass without God to help us fight against that Original Sin that would keep us in the muck and filth. Not terribly theological, but that's how I imagine it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
