Deep dives

Understanding Original Sin and Redemption

The concept of original sin is fundamental in traditional Christianity, offering an explanation for the inherent brokenness of mankind and the world. This historical doctrine highlights that all humans are born into sin, necessitating redemption through Jesus Christ's sacrificial death, which is described in several biblical passages. In contrast, progressive Christians often reject this idea, viewing the notion of needing redemption as outdated and framed by an unfair depiction of God requiring a blood sacrifice. They propose that instead of relying on divine intervention, humans should address and heal the world's brokenness through their own efforts and humanitarian actions.
