So, God gives us sinful souls? That's amazing! If this is what the Reformed believe, it is the best kept secret because I never heard or read any reformed Christians take ownership of such a statement.

I didn't say God gives us sinful souls, I said that God contemplated them that way. When He knew us before the foundations, He knew us to have sinful natures. It comes down to the physical mechanics of how original sin is transferred from parent to child. Does it go to nature, but not soul? Are nature and soul the same thing? I don't know how that works mechanically. I know that you don't believe in original sin, but I also believe that you don't think that we are born in the same state that Adam was created in. SO, we face the same question.

Hello Everyone:

I just wanted to let you know that today I'm headed south for some vacation with the family unit. So, I'll be offline for a little more than a week. I ask your prayers for safe travels, and I pray that all of you are doing well. God Bless you all.
