Episode notes
Original Sin as Innate Selfishness
- Original sin refers to human innate selfishness and being out of proper relationship with God.
- Humans inherently want their own way, making selfishness a natural condition.
Denial of Sin Harms Self-Esteem
- Denying original sin promotes anti-self-esteem ideas rejecting inherent human badness.
- Such denial leads to false visions of utopia based on humans being basically good.
Biblical View on Human Sinfulness
- Biblical scriptures depict humans as inherently sinful and objects of wrath.
- Rejecting these verses selectively leads to misunderstanding human nature and sin's seriousness.
