Doing Away With Original Sin—Is It Possible?
You’re saved and I’m not, because I don’t believe the same way you do, right? Guess again. For centuries, we in the West have been living under the dark shadow of Original Sin. This OS has been responsible for the woes of Humanity, according to religionists. It has sent millions to hell. It has been the reason we need a savior. BUT. . . There is another way to look at Original Sin, a way to do away with it forever. A way to bring peace to the heart, and ultimately to the world. A way to a new understanding of Jesus and his mission. If you believe in Original Sin, this is for you. Read on. . . (By the way, for those of you who may not know, the word "sin" is an archery term from old Greek meaning, simply, "to miss the mark.")
