Basic Introduction Chinese Name: Original Sin mbth Source: The legend of Christianity refers to: the explanation of original sin that is born and cannot be erased, the explanation of original sin, and the explanation of original sin. The Bible holds that sin is a common disability phenomenon, and human nature can be seen in every part of everyone (1 Kings 8: 46; Sea fish of Sparidae 3: 9-23; 7: 18; Approximately 1:8- 10). Both the old and new covenants have names that show the sinful character, such as violating God's governance, losing the goal set by God, violating God's laws, disobeying God's guidance, violating God's holiness by polluting ourselves, and committing great sins before God who judges us. This moral defect is obvious; It is irrational, passive and resistant to evil. As a call and command to God, it is a spirit of playing with and resisting God. The root of sin is pride and enmity with God, which can be seen from Adam's first crime. There's always something to show after a crime. In the minds of fallen people, we deliberately oppose God's demands, thoughts, motives and wishes in our lives. Indicating sin in the original sin can be broadly interpreted as violating God's law in actions, habits, attitudes, opinions, tendencies, motives and lifestyles. On the other hand, the Bible describes sin, such as Jeremiah17: 9; Tai12: 30-37; Kyle 7: 20-23; Luo1:18-3: 20; 7:7-25; 8:5-8; 14:23。 (* Luther Martin said that Paul wrote Romans to show sin); Add 5:16-21; Ephesians 2: 1-3, 4:17-19; Lai 3:12; Ya 2:10-11; Jn.13 4,5:17. When Paul talks about the body, he often refers to human nature driven by the lust of sin; The special crimes shown in the Bible cannot be detailed here. Original sin means that original sin comes from our roots, not a biblical term (created by Augustine), but it is a powerful focus of evil reality in our spirituality. The statement of original sin does not mean that when God created us, there was sin in human nature (God created us upright, Ecclesiastes 7:29), nor does it mean that there was sin in the process of human birth, but that (1) since birth, everyone has traces of sin, and people have a twisted heart and motives (bad intentions), and it is easy to commit any motive crime. (2) This innate evil is actually the root of all crimes; (3) This was passed on to us by Adam in a mysterious way. He was our first representative before God. The statement of original sin is: we are not sinners because we have committed crimes, but because we are sinners, and we are born with the temperament of suffering and slavery. Debate on Original Sin in History There is a heated debate on the issue of Original Sin in the history of the church. * Pelagius said that death is a natural phenomenon, not a punishment; God's creation of human nature is good, because he is good, so human nature is not corrupt; Adam's sinful image of mankind is just a bad example; All people are in the state before Adam's fall; There is no fundamental difference between law and grace. Contrary to this lesson, Augustine claimed that all people inherited natural corruption from Adam, and the original sin was sin, so they should be punished and bear this crime. Catholicism advocates that the original sin has been removed at baptism, leaving only the * * * (fuel) of sin, and distinguishing between forgivable sin (no need to repent before communion) and major sin. Calvin said that the motive and selfish desire of committing crimes in people's hearts are considered as crimes by God. Although Catholicism claims that among the reborn people, the residual part of original sin is not really regarded as a crime, reformers claim that the residual criminal tendency in people's minds is a crime before God. * Dortmund General Association (1618-1619) insists on the doctrine that human beings are completely degraded and that it is impossible to do God's will and have free will, and opposes the claims of Amin School. (This entry is taken from the English-Chinese Dictionary of Theological Terms written by Rev. Zhao Zhonghui, the Reformed Sect. ) The Bible says that I was born guilty. I was born guilty. "Talk about some people" 1 Timothy 1: 5 But the command is always love. This kind of love comes from a clean heart, a sincere conscience and a sincere belief. 1 Timothy 1: 6 Some people deviate from these and speak vanity. I want to be a wizard, but I don't know what I'm talking about. The original sin theory of Christianity is an important basic theory of Christianity. Our Christianity clearly tells people that "original sin" was handed down by our ancestor Adam. Since Adam, people have been born with "original sin". There is no clear definition of "original sin" in the Bible. It is said that it was first put forward by Tourde Liang, an ancient Roman theologian in the 2nd century A.D., and it was regarded as a classic. Augustine developed and enriched it. "Original sin" is considered to be the root of crimes in people's thoughts and behaviors, and the source of all evils, which will lead people to the abyss of evil and make them unable to extricate themselves. 1. Forgive. 2. One of the important teachings of Christianity. Adam and Eve, the ancestors of mankind, were tempted by snakes, disobeyed God's command and ate the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. This crime has become the original sin of all mankind, hence the name. Christianity also believes that this crime has been passed on to all future generations, which requires Christ's redemption. It also refers to natural sin. According to the doctrine, the existence of original sin separates human beings from the perfect God, making them unable to communicate. According to the Old Testament Genesis, Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden because they violated God's command and ate the fruit of the tree of distinguishing good from evil and made mistakes. This short passage explains the origin of "original sin", but believers of different schools have different understandings of this passage, so they have different understandings of "original sin". Some people say: "Original sin is a sin that people have since birth." In fact, I think this formulation is not accurate. The original sin of mankind is not inherited from Adam's sin, or it is not the actual sin. So, is the original sin of mankind inherited from a criminal factor? I don't think so either. Just explain its inheritance by analogy with genes. God first created the perfect structure of man: spirit, soul and body. Spirit plays a leading, leading and head of state position, and both soul and body are under the control of spirit. The Holy Spirit can communicate perfectly with God, and from God comes wisdom, power, authority, glory, peace, light and so on. It is conceivable that if Adam did not commit a crime, his descendants must be people with perfect spirit, soul and body structure. At first, it was recorded in the Bible that one purpose of God's creation was to let people manage the world. Governing the land and managing the fish in the sea, birds in the air and creatures on the ground show that Adam at that time, Adam before the fall, had the ability and wisdom to control all this, including the ability to make these people obey themselves, that is, to communicate with them consciously, or to understand the language of these creatures and make them obey themselves. Many people wonder that the Bible records that snakes can talk to people at first. In fact, this is the proof that people had this ability at that time. Otherwise, how can people manage all this? But all these spiritual powers are lost because of human sins. Because of Adam's disobedience and crime, it is completely different. After Adam's crime, the Bible never mentioned that man should manage the world. Sin immediately stifled his spirituality, caused the degeneration of human nature, and destroyed the pattern of perfect man created by God. Spiritual death deprived his spirit of vitality and the right to communicate with God. As the saying goes, "he is in ecstasy." That is, the spirit is dead, the self-will in the soul is not bound by spiritual power, the self is infinitely inflated, the self only cares about itself, does not know God, and loses the ability to communicate with God. A man cursed by God. A living dead person, his spirit is dead before God, just like a fruit picked from a branch, which can no longer be fully provided by God. We can see that Adam lost his spiritual strength after committing a crime. His spiritual eyes were blind and he was afraid to see God. Being spiritually isolated from God, a good relationship with God became hostile. According to the Bible, we who were born in Adam were cut off from God at birth. "Original sin" should be the sinful physical form we inherited from Adam, and this spiritual wisdom and ability are almost completely lost. This depraved and corrupt human nature, this self-will without mental control, is completely self-centered human nature. Such people will deviate from their own path from the beginning, commit crimes and offend God. This state determines that people will stay away from God, which makes people have a criminal tendency and temperament. Therefore, "original sin" is not a criminal factor that is produced and passed on to future generations, but the form of the guilty body that is mentally dead, out of control of self-will and falling from the structure of a perfect person is passed down. In a word, the "original sin" of mankind is passed down from Adam. This sinful physical form is spiritually dead, spiritually corrupt, isolated from God, and burdened with the curse of God. It is a degraded life form, a self-centered human nature, with a criminal tendency and temperament. The Lord Jesus is a descendant of women, and his life comes from God. He is a god, so although he has a body, he is not a sinner and will not commit crimes. When Adam was first made perfect, he could or could not commit a crime. The last Adam, Jesus Christ, has God's life, God's holiness and integrity, and will never sin. There is no possibility of crime, just as nothing can surpass God. According to Genesis, Adam and Eve were created and lived happily in the Garden of Eden. God gave them a command: "You can eat whatever you like from all the trees in the garden, but you should not eat from the trees that distinguish good from evil, because you will die on the day you eat." . God forbade Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, but the devil hidden in the snake tempted them to betray God and advised them to eat the forbidden fruit, saying, "You don't have to die ... your eyes will light up after eating them, just like a god who can know good and evil." Eve couldn't resist the temptation to eat the forbidden fruit and let Adam eat another one. After eating the forbidden fruit, their eyes really lit up, they could distinguish good from evil and know shame, that is, they began to become "people" with thinking ability. Christianity believes that Adam and Eve's stealing the forbidden fruit violates God's will, and it is a "glory owed to God" and passed on to future generations, which has become the root of all human sins, disasters, pain and death. Man is born a "sinner" before God. Even a baby who died at birth, although not guilty of any crime, is still a sinner because of its original sin. This "sin" is innate, so it is called "original sin". "Original sin" is the basis of Christian doctrine and theology. Because of "original sin", we need "redemption" and "savior" to produce Christianity. To deny "original sin" is to deny "redemption" of Christ, and there is no need for Christianity to exist. "Seven" is a mysterious number in religion. God made Adam in seven days, and took out Adam's seventh rib to make Eve. Satan's original body is a fire dragon with seven heads, and seven fallen angels are called Satan. Therefore, Christianity uses the image of Satan's seven demons to represent The seven deadlysins: pride, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, gluttony and * * * (lust). The sin of arrogance is Lucifer, and greed is the god of wealth. Anger is Satan, gluttony is Beelzebub, laziness is Belir, and Leviathan is the crime of jealousy. The above is just one of the different opinions about the characters referred to in the seven deadly sins. The psychological origin of original sin The word original sin originated in the west, where many people hunted livestock. Because of the need of male hunting, it has been a patriarchal society from the early days. In ancient times, people did not understand that fertility was the result of mating between men and women. Compared with women, men are born with a defect, which is basically fatal to people. At the same time, men can only use some violence and cunning to rob women to make up for this defect. To dispel the guilt the day after tomorrow. This lack of fertility psychology extends to making up for and replacing the defects of fertility by inventing machines and ideas. They can take it for granted that they can destroy and slaughter other peoples for an unnatural idea, because it can cause them to "bear children" like God. However, from the deep psychology of human beings, the primitiveness of the patriarchal society, as a group psychology, leads them to be aggressive, lack of foresight and have no hesitation. It can be said that the massacre of Indians, the massacre of Jews, the Crusades, the Jacobin dictatorship, the two world wars and the Iraq war are all concrete manifestations of this original sin. If the original sin of paternal society (western countries) is the lack of fertility, which may be made up by improper means, then the original sin of matriarchal society (such as China) is to keep the family quiet and be satisfied with the extreme stability of small countries and few people, and the more knowledge, the more reactionary it is. Examples of original sin Zhang San and Li Si are good friends, Zhang San is very kind to Li Si, and Zhang San has a beautiful and virtuous wife. In their relationship, Li Si began to like Zhang San's wife. After Zhang San found out, he began to argue with Li Si. Later in the war, Zhang San injured Li Si. Things are getting worse again. As a result, Zhang San killed Li Si, and Zhang San will go to prison for several years. From the development of the relationship between Zhang San and Li Si, it can be seen that when Zhang San and Li Si fight for ridicule, they begin to violate morality, because swearing is immoral. They began to fight with each other, causing civil liability and had to go to the police station to solve it. Then he killed another person, one died and the other was sentenced to prison by the court. This matter can be divided into four stages. The first stage is the original sin stage, and Li Si began to have greed, lust and jealousy. The second stage is against morality, conscience and rationality, the third stage is against civil law and the fourth stage is against criminal law. It can be seen that original sin is a basic crime, which leads people to violate morality, civil law and criminal law. People have original sin all their lives, and this original sin is persistent. People should be wary of themselves, because some original sins will lead to violations of German law, civil law and criminal law. The priest told people that God forgives people's sins, and the focus of sin here is original sin. According to the connotation of original sin, we can explain why priests can preach the gospel to condemned prisoners, because they need God's forgiveness more. God can also forgive them and make them repent. They will also be moved by the holy spirit to change their minds and can completely turn over a new leaf. However, they cannot be exempted from punishment according to law. Only by believing in Jesus' original sin can we be forgiven, and there is no other way. On this basis, people can produce rationality, morality and conscience and establish legal order.
