Are Men Born Sinners? The Myth of Original Sin... Index

A. T. Overstreet

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. [Deuteronomy 24:16]

    Sin is not a substance or a virus or anything physical. It does not live or have personality, therefore cannot be transmitted from person to person. Sin is a immoral choice made by the sinner, that transgresses God's law. Apart from the sinner who commits the act or makes the choice, sin does not exist.

    To say that the doctrine of original sin is unreasonable is a profound understatement. It is not only absurd, it is plain superstition to believe that we sinned in Adam thousands of years before we were born and began our existence. To believe that man's flesh can be inherently sinful and that men can be born sinners is fit only for the pages of some wild science fiction novel.
