Re: Have You Ever Tried to Read Any Religion
Peace rari389,
Not a bit contradictory but as whole. John Calvin knows as inventor of Calvinism, was a theologian and pastor during the Protestant (Luther was the founder) Reformation. In his Calvinism he said all 5 points known by the acronym: T.U.L.I.P. must either be accepted in total or entirely rejected. His 5 points contradict the Bible.
The Adam sinned when he disobeyed Almighty Allah by eating from the forbidden tree (the tree of knowing good from evil as in Genesis 2:17)[It is therefore fitting to ask: How will Adam be punished for his deed if he did not know right from wrong?](Qur’an 2:35-36). As a result, and according to Christian theology, all descendants of Adam inherit the sin of Adam, which means that all human beings are born with this original sin and according to Christianity, for God’s justice to be satisfied, a price must be paid for every sin that has been committed.
In other words, God will not let any sin go unrequited and cannot even forgive a simple sin. Accordingly, the only thing that can wipe out sins is the shedding of blood. According to Paul, “Without the shedding of blood there is no remission.” (Hebrews 9:22) But this blood must be perfect, sinless, and incorruptible. Therefore, Jesus, alleged to be the son of God, shed his sinless blood, suffered indescribable agony and died to pay the penalty for the sins of men. Because he was infinite God, he alone could pay the infinite price of sin. Therefore, no one can be saved unless he accepts Jesus as his personal savior (Isaiah 43:11 reads “I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.” This verse clearly states that God is the only savior). Moreover, everyone is condemned to suffer eternally in Hellfire because of his or her inherent sinful nature he or she accepts atonement for his or her sins made by Jesus with his blood.
The Reverend De Groot (Catholic Teaching p.140) writes: "Scripture teaches us that Adam’s sin passed unto all men (our Blessed lady exempted). For in the words of St. Paul: “Therefore, as by the offence of one (Adam) all men were taken to condemnation; so also by the Justice of one (Christ) many shall be made just.” (Romans 5:18-19). These words make it plain that all men inherited Adam’s sin like many other Christian beliefs, the doctrine of the ‘Total hereditary deparvity (or Inherited Sin)’ by Calvinism, finds no support in the words of Jesus or of the prophet who came before him. They taught that every man was accountable for his own actions; children would not be punished for the sin of their parents. No human being is born sinful. Jesus himself regarded children as innocent and pure, not born with sin. It is clear from his reported saying: “Suffer not the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for such is the Kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the Kingdom of God as little child, he shall not enter therin.” (Mark 10:14-15).
Believing in the dogma of the inherited sin that all infants are doomed to burn eternally in the Fire of Hell (unbaptized). Until recently the unbaptized infants were not buried in consecrated grounds in Christendom, because they were believe to have died in ‘origin sin’.
Islam condemns the dogma of Original Sin and regards children as pure and sinless at birth. Sin, it says, is not inherited, but is something that one acquires by doing what he or she should not do and by failing to do what he or she should do.
