LOL, look at what I found on another thread! Scott Hahn believes in a ‘female’ holy Spirit and other stupid stuff.
“Ferrara covers Hahn’s female Holy Spirit, but he also discusses Hahn’s weird view of Original Sin (something lightly touched upon in O’Neill’s June 2004 NOR article). Says Ferrara: “Hahn speculates that the serpent in the Garden was actually a dragon or other monster with which Adam should have engaged in mortal combat to protect himself and his bride…. Hahn thus suggests that the original sin was not disobedience to a divine command under temptation, but rather a refusal to sacrifice his life under a death threat: [Says Hahn] ‘Knowing the serpent’s power, Adam was unwilling to lay down his own life — for the sake of his love of God, or to save the life of his beloved. That refusal to sacrifice was Adam’s original sin.’” The internal quote is from Hahn’s First Comes Love, page 70. Hahn’s next line is this: “He [Adam] committed it [the original sin] even before he had tasted the fruit, even before Eve had tasted the fruit.”

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!
LOL!!! Ah...the great and scholarly works of the Catholic Church handed down by the fathers from ages past. NOT! :O)
Weird beliefs like that could explain a lot.
Really??? That doesn't make sense to me. If Eve trusted and believed Gods word and law-- there was no reason to lay down his life. His life wasn't his to give-- it belonged to God.
Hey Tonto, the Holy Spirit is neither man or woman. Now let that one sink in for awhile.
Wow! I’m sure Catholics will proudly proclaim Hahn to be “one of them” having “crossed the Tiber”! Why am I not surprised that Hahn has some odd views about scripture? Thanks for finding and posting that.
