Hi all.
I was searching the forum for the phrase "original sin" for something else (which you can't actually do as the search engine ignores search words of three letters (e.g. sin)) and found something said that is incorrect so I'd like to correct it here.
In the thread "The Book of Life and Blotting Out" TT's mentioning Universalism and in the middle of a reply from feugo's we see the statement Well that statement is incorrect. TT may have said it, but the idea that the roots of Original Sin is in Calvinism is incorrect.
A part of the Pelagian heresy which arose 1600+ years ago includes the denial of Original Sin. That's 1100 years before the Reformation. Reformed Theology correctly acknowledges the validity of the doctrine of Original Sin but can't be considered as where it started.
There are some here who believe at least part of the Pelagian denial of Original Sin as I believe this following post testifies. However in this case it would appear that the denial of Original Sin is the only possible belief option after saying that "the human spirit is given by God". (If the only way forward from where you're at takes to you into heresy, what does that say about where you're currently at?)
Perhaps fuego was referring back to this?
