And another example, too, just forgetting about the Virgin Birth and that Jesus is God:
“His actual life also demonstrated original innocence for mankind. Jesus was born into humanity, born through a woman — born fully human — yet was without sin. This reveals to us a very significant truth: Sin is not the default nature we are born with. If it were, then Jesus himself would have been a sinner simply because he was human, but the reality is actually the opposite.”
Do people really get their religious news from the Huffington Post?
Jesus was talking about the “faith” of little children, how they accept what is told them.
Ps 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
As far as Jesus not being born in sin that’s an easy one. Born of a virgin by the Holy Spirit. The male determines the blood, not the female, and life is in the blood. No sin.
One of the joys of creating your own god is that you can make him say anything you want.
OK --
Are you a sinner because you have committed sins?
or
Do you commit sin(s) because you are a sinner?
Pick one.
Surely the more important question is, “How can I escape the punishment for these lawless deeds I’ve done?” Wouldn’t you agree? How would you answer?
