I don’t agree with you. We are not inherently good because we have committed the original sin. That’s why many kids are absolutely evil until they learn differently from their parents. This is actually the belief of liberals. That’s why their crime fighting techniques always end in horrific failure.
Also, how do you explain evil such as ISIS? They actually believe that the atrocities they are perpetrating are approved by Allah. Suicide bombing is good. Beating up your wife is good. If everybody innately knows right from wrong, this wouldn’t happen.
And that’s why when God is kicked out of schools and the ten commandments are taken out of the public square, we find more school shootings, more disrespect, more acceptance of lying as normal, etc.
The seeming dilemma of “inherrently good” can be solved by a correct definition of evil, which is perverted-good.
When something, or someone, is not as good as they could be, that, in itself, is evil, no matter how relatively good compared to others they are.
Evil is always twisted or perverted good.
People are born evil, selfish beings....not guilty of any crimes yet, just with a sin-nature. Through a disciplined, moral childhood, many bad habits can be ironed out of someone, but our fundamental nature is still flawed—and any flaws, are sin.
Only Jesus Christ, the God-Man, was born without sin—and maintained a sinless life all along.
