Join Disciple Tulip, a self-identified Calvinist, and an anonymous caller as they dive deep into the controversial topic of original sin. They explore whether individuals are guilty for Adam's sin and discuss the implications of corporate headship. Questions arise about infant moral culpability and whether newborns consent to Adam's 'contract.' The conversation challenges Calvinist logic on divine justice, election, and the purpose of evangelism, leading to a compelling debate about God's nature and grace.
