The root of Christianity is the original sin upon which the crucifixion
is justified and used for the benefit of Christians. If original sin is
thrown away, then the crucifixion becomes dead.
None of these two man-made beliefs are true and original sin is nowhere to be found in the entire Bible.
Gen. 3:14
"And
the Lord God said unto the serpent, 'Because thou hast done this, thou
art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon
thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy
life'".
This is a curse upon the serpent and that too only a worldly one.
Ezek 18:4
Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Ezek 18:20
The soul that sinneth, it shall die.
(Deuteronomy 24:16)
“The
fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the
children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to
death for his own sin.”
The
Bible is very clear that no person will be responsible for the sins of
others. Each person is answerable for himself alone and cannot blame it
on Adam and Eve.
This concept matches exactly the Qur’anic point on this issue.
(Quran 6:164)
“No person earns any (sin) except against himself (only), and no bearer of burdens shall bear the burden of another.”
Some
contradictory verses do exist in the Bible which Christians use to
defend this man-made concept of original sin. If we take a closer look
at these verses, we see that they too do not talk about the original sin
the way Christian believe it to be.
For example:
Gen 3:17
And
unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy
wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying,
Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed [is] the ground for thy sake; in sorrow
shalt thou eat [of] it all the days of thy life;
Gen 3:18
Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
Gen 3:19
In
the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the
ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou [art], and unto
dust shalt thou return.
These
verses might appear to be about the original sin but if we read them
carefully, we see that they only talk about worldly punishments and
nothing more.
Where in the Bible is it written that man is destined to eternal damnation for the inherited sin?
Where does the Bible say that the sole or main purpose of Jesus was to undo what Adam had done?
John 1:29
The next day John sees Jesus coming unto him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world.
Prophets
are sent by God to be examples of the message they have brought.
Prophets are sent to bring mankind on the right path and to lead them
away from a sinful life. Therefore, Jesus takes away the sins of the
people by guiding them and showing them the right path. Secondly, Jesus
never says such a thing, it is John who does so.
Rom. 5:12
"Wherefore,
as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so
death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:"
Rom. 5:19
"For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners,..."
These verses say that due to the sin of Adam, death arises. Not
eternal death but death in the world. This is the appropriate
interpretation; otherwise, there is a contradiction with the following
verses:
Jer. 31:29-30
"In
those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape,
and the children's teeth are set on edge. But every one shall die for
his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall
be set on edge."
Ezek 18:4
Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Ezek 18:20
The soul that sinneth, it shall die.
(Deuteronomy 24:16)
“The
fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the
children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to
death for his own sin.”
The death being talked about is the death in this world and not punishment in hell.
Prov.20:9
"Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?"
The way to cleanse oneself from sin to clean one’s heart and not to believe in crucifixion or Trinity.
Psalms 51:5
Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
The above verse needs to be seen in context to be understood fully.
51:1
Chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according
unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
51:2
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
51:3
For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin ever before me.
51:4
Against
thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done [this] evil in thy sight: that
thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, [and] be clear when thou
judgest.
51:5
Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
If
we read in context, we see that the person saying these words is
actually a sinner, see verse 3 and 5. This shows that this person was
actually a sinner himself and talks about sins happened before him.
Nathan
came from Aaron's wife who was a fourth generation bastard son of
Judah, so her sons were fifth generation sons. As the bible says, God's
law specifically banned bastards and their descendants from entering the
assembly of Yahweh for at least ten generations(Dt. 23:2).
According to the bible, David was a ninth generation bastard. David was the 9th generation son of Perez, the bastard son of Judah and Tamar.
His
lineage is shadowed and shameful: his father descended from Moab, a
product of incest between Lot and his daughter after Sodom's
destruction, down through Ruth, a Moabite convert.
David was believed to be bastard by his father and brothers. Such allegations have been made against Prophet David.
I
was shapen in inequity can be taken as two meanings, first that when he
was in his mother's belly and was being taken a shape and the second is
his growing up days.
Whichever way you take it, the sin being talked about is personal and not hereditary.
If you take,
I was shapen in iniquity
as growing up days, even then these sins are personal. King David is accused of deceit, adultery and murder in the Bible.
It is surprising that such a huge concept of Christians, 'Original Sin' has no mention in the bible.
