A big thanks to all who have responded to my last post so far. I know more of you want to chime in and have your voice heard. The answers and thoughts that were given are great and spot on from what my perspective. I purposely left out some of the details of the conversation, however. What is the answer to this question when the person whom you are talking with does not have the same understanding of God that you do? What if they are Muslim? Or Hindu? Or insert any other religion here. Original sin is great when you are talking with someone who shares your Christian worldview. It isn’t so great when the other person believes that everyone is basically good. Probably the answer to the whole scenario is that the worldview must change in order for the thoughts on this matter must change.
So, once again, the floor is yours. Post up!
