If we are born with "original sin" then we have a sin nature and we are predamned.
1. We were born in original sin2. We were born with a good nature3. We were born with a weak natureIf someone finds any support from scriptures for point 2 & 3 i'll change my view about 'original sin', if not i'll stick to the first idea.If we are born with a good nature then the good in us should have a divine origine and the source of it's goodness should be God if so according to this logic our nature becomes evil only when we sin by choice at the age of accountability when children know good from evil.Is our "innate goodness" when we are born untouched by original sin? What is meant by original sin in itself? Is it an doctrine taught by the scriptures or just an invention of the early church fathers who came up with this new briliant idea? Is it a myth or a truth? I for myself believe that all goodness comes from God and apart from him everything is not just weak but bad and evil.
