The Doctrine of

What is the doctrine of original sin? The Effects of Adam's Sin upon his Posterity. "That the sin of Adam injured not himself only but also all descending from him by ordinary generation, is part of the faith of the whole Christian world.” (Hodge’s systematic theology)

"As to the ground of these evils, we are taught that 'the covenant being made with Adam not only for himself, but for his posterity, all mankind descending from him by ordinary generation, sinned in him, and fell with him in his first transgression.' Or, as is expressed in the Confession, 'Our first parents, being the root of all mankind, the guilt of their sin was imputed, and the same death in sin and corrupted nature were conveyed to all their posterity, descending from them by ordinary generation." (Hodges’ Systematic Theology, Vol. II, Part II- Anthropology)

Where did it originate? "It was the universal faith of the church that man was made in the image of God, pure and holy, and fell by his own guilt. But the extent of sin and the consequences of the fall were not fully discussed before the Pelagius-Augustine controversy in the fifth century." (Schaff, Vol. II, p. 246)

Augustine vs Pelagius Augustine, ( AD) credited with formulating the concept of original sin, held that Adam's fall corrupted man, making the human race a mass of sin. Man inherited both the tendency to sin and the guilt for Adam's sin, for in him the entire race sinned. (ISBE)

Augustine vs Pelagius Pelagius contended that man in cooperation with God could act because he maintained free will and moral responsibility.

Impact of the doctrine on the religious world Already the Roman Catholic hierarchy was developing and the doctrine of that church was forming. Original sin became a fundamental tenet of that faith.

Catholicism Council of Trent : "Adam's first sin has been transmitted to all his descendants".

Presbyterian and Reformed tradition Confession of Faith: "Our first parents, being seduced by the subtlety and temptation of Satan, sinned in eating the forbidden fruit. This their sin, God was pleased, according to his wise and holy counsel, to permit, having purposed to order it to his own glory. By this sin they fell from their original righteousness and communion with God, and so became dead in sin, and wholly defiled in all the faculties and parts of the soul and body. They being the root of all mankind, the guilt of this sin was imputed and the same death in sin and corrupted nature conveyed to all their posterity descending from them by ordinary generation. From this original corruption, whereby we are utterly indisposed, disabled, and made opposite to all good, and wholly inclined to all evil, do proceed all actual transgressions."

Calvinism Total Inherited Depravity Unconditional Election Limited Atonement Irresistible Grace Perseverance of the Saints

Lutherans Augsburg confession Article 2: "It is also taught among us that since the fall of Adam all men who are born according to the course of nature are conceived and born in sin. That is, all men are full of evil lust and inclination from their mother's womb and are unable by nature to have true fear of God and true faith in God. Moreover, this inborn sickness and hereditary sin is truly sin and condemns to the eternal wrath of God all whose who are not born again through baptism and the Holy Spirit."

Baptists Philadelphia Confession of Faith: "Our first parents by this sin fell from their original righteousness and communion with God, and we in them, whereby death came upon all, all becoming dead in sin, and wholly defiled in all the faculties and parts of the souls and body. The guilt of sin was imputed (and corrupt nature conveyed) to all their posterity descending from them by ordinary generation, being now conceived in sin, the subjects of death and all other spiritual miseries, temporal and eternal, unless the Lord Jesus set them free. From the original corruption-whereby we are utterly indisposed disabled, and made opposite to all good and wholly inclined to all evil, do proceed all actual transgressions."

Methodists (Since) "infants are guilty of original sin, then they are proper subjects of baptism, seeing in the ordinary way, they cannot be saved unless this be washed away by baptism. It has already been proved that this original sin cleaves to every child of man, and hereby they are children of wrath and liable to eternal damnation.“

Episcopalians Common Book of Prayer, Articles of Religion IX & X: "Original sin standeth not in the following of Adam, but it is the fault and corruption of the nature of every man, that naturally is ingendered of the offspring of Adam; whereby man is very far gone from original righteousness, and is of his own nature inclined to evil, so that the flesh lusteth always contrary to the spirit; and therefore in every person born into this world, it deserveth God's wrath and damnation. And this infection of nature doth remain, yea in them that are regenerated; whereby the lust of the flesh, called in the Greek... which some do expound the wisdom, some sensuality, some the affection, some the desire, of the flesh, is not subject to the Law of God. And although there is no condemnation for them that believe and are baptized, yet the Apostle doth confess, that concupiscence and lust hath of itself the nature of sin." "The condition of man after the fall of Adam is such, that he cannot turn and prepare himself, by his own natural strength and good works, to faith, and calling upon God: Wherefore we have no power to do good works pleasant and acceptable to God, without the grace of God by Christ preventing us, that we may have a good will, and working with us, when we have that good will."

Why does it matter?

Practical implications in Roman Catholic Teaching Sacramentalism Infant Baptism Proxy Faith Confirmation “Yes, every child born into this world has the guilt of original sin upon his soul. Original sin is the sin that we inherit from our first parents. Original sin excludes us from heaven unless forgiven. It is forgiven only by baptism, hence when an unbaptized baby dies, it can not enter the kingdom of God." (Questions of Catholics answered by W. Hebst)

Practical implications in Roman Catholic Teaching Sacramentalism Infant Baptism Proxy Faith Confirmation Catholic: "Confirmation is the sacrament through which the Holy Ghost comes to us in a special way and enables us to profess faith as strong and perfect Christians and soldiers of Jesus Christ...We are not certain from Sacred Scripture of the exact time and circumstances of the institution of Confirmation." (A Catechism… Pg 265)

Practical implications in Roman Catholic Teaching Mariolatry Immaculate Conception Sinlessness Of Mary Bodily Assumption "It is proclaimed by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ and the blessed apostles Peter and Paul and in our own authority that the doctrine which holds the blessed virgin Mary to have been, from the first instant of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of Almighty God, in view of the merits of Christ Jesus the Saviour of mankind, preserved free from all stain of original sin, was revealed by God, and is therefore, to be firmly believed by all the faithful."

Practical implications in Roman Catholic Teaching Mariolatry Immaculate Conception Sinlessness Of Mary Bodily Assumption "By a special privilege of Almighty God, our blessed mother was free throughout her life from all actual sin, both moral and venial." (A Catechism of Christian Doctrine Pg 47)

Practical implications in Roman Catholic Teaching Mariolatry Immaculate Conception Sinlessness Of Mary Bodily Assumption “…by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, of the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and by our own authority, We pronounce, declare, and define it to be a divinely revealed dogma: that the Immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her life, was assumed body and soul into heaven." (Pope Pius XII, 1950)

Practical implications in Protestant Teaching Continuing Catholic Traditions Infant Baptism Proxy Faith Confirmation

Practical implications in Protestant Teaching New Explanations Infant Salvation Direct Operation of the Holy Spirit

What does the Bible really teach? That the guilt of sin is not inherited (Eze. 18: 20). That children themselves are not only capable of good but are in fact models for the saved. (Mt. 18:1ff) Men become sinners by acts of their own volition (Rom. 7:9-10). That man does have free will and does have the power to choose good without direction operations of the Spirit (Mt. 23:37).

A look at Romans 5:19. Paul affirms a fact without a discussion of "how" the situation is true. We do not deny the statement of fact. We deny the explanation of the statement. If Paul means to say that men are made sinners unconditionally, then would we not also be forced to say that men are made righteous unconditionally? But if we are made righteous by conditions, can we not also be made sinners by conditions? Paul states what those conditions are. Death passed to all men because all sinned! We are made sinners by unbelief! We are made righteous by faith!

The larger context suggests that Paul is showing that all are sinners by their own volition! –Rom. 1-2 establish the sinfulness of man and God's wrath against sinners. Why would God be angry with people who cannot help what they are and who cannot change what they are? –Paul's has emphasized not that all have inherited sin but "all have sinned" (Rom. 3:23).

The larger context suggest that Paul is showing that all may be made righteous through faith in Christ. –Salvation is for "all" who believe--Rom. 1: –Whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved--Rom. 10:13.
