Born Guilty? Understanding Original Sin

About this sermon

Greg answers Open Mic questions about whether embryonic human beings are unsaved, innocent, or saved, how Jesus could have been tempted to sin if the inclination to sin comes from a corrupt human nature, how Christ could have not had a corrupt human nature, and whether clones are fallen. 0:00 Introduction 6:53 Is the two-celled human being unsaved and condemned to Hell, innocent, or saved with eternal life? If you think infants are saved, but you believe in original sin and guilt, then by what means is that infant saved? 35:50 Dealing with discomforting answers 39:10 If the inclination to sin comes from a corrupt human nature, then how could Jesus have been tempted to sin? 48:55 If true humanity involves having a corrupt human nature, then how could Christ not have a corrupt human nature? And if it’s because Jesus didn’t have a human father, do clones not have a corrupt human nature because they don’t have a biological father? #StandtoReason #Apologetics #Christianity #Theology #BibleQuestions ––––– MENTIONED ON THE SHOW ––––– “When a Baby Dies” by Ronald Nash: https://www.amazon.com/When-Baby-Dies-Ronald-Nash/dp/0310225566/ “Hell Interrupted” Part 1: https://www.str.org/w/hell-interrupted-part-1 “Hell Interrupted” Part 2: https://www.str.org/w/hell-interrupted-part-2 “Hell Interrupted” Part 3: https://www.str.org/w/hell-interrupted-part-3 ––––– CALL IN TO THE SHOW ––––– Have a question or comment?
