mrdannyg 274 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Ok, Mattxnc posted this as part of another discussion, and I didn't want to hijack that, so I thought I'd start a new one.His introduction states. Lets go with some assumptions a christian makes1. All thatat God creates and does is good2. Man comes from GodThis implies that man is good. But I had the understanding man had "original sin" that he had to atone for. If man is inherently good (since we are created by God), than isn't someone who just lives a good life Heaven-bound? If someone is Jewish for instance, and acknowledges God (just in a different way) but lives their life in a good way, then could they not make it into Heaven despite not being Christian?Help?

But if you look at Genesis 3 you see the fall of man. Therefore in mans original form they were good..but they were corrupted by the devil after they were created thus the "original sin" Link to post Share on other sites
