Re: Spinoff from Interfaith Dialogue - Salvation and the nature of Sin

@armughal

Jesus did not have a father, but he did have a mother…
and that mother was human…
and like all other children of Adam, she too carried that “sin” with her…
then why does Jesus escape from that “sin”???
he too was an offspiring of Mary, who bore that “sin”…

No-one had sex with Mary up to that point. Jesus was not from one of Mary’s cells. A fertilised egg was planted/created inside Mary making her only a surrogate. No chance for any of what you say above.

btw, in Islam we do not consider anyone to be responible for others’ actions or sins…do u in christianity, punish someone because his father committed a crime???

You miss the point. You are not punished/guilty because you sin, you are punished/guilty because you are infected by a sinful nature.

For example, assume that all of mankind was infected by the Aids virus. One way of dealing with the epidemic is to exterminate all mankind. BUT, say there is an anti-virus in the blood of God. God provides a bank of needles with His blood and it is up to everyone to inject himself in order to rid him of the Aids virus. It is there for free but everyones own responsibility to take the necessary action. Now replace “the Aids virus” with “a sinful nature” in above analogy…

perhaps the romans influenced this on to christianity…
its defnitely against the abrahamic faiths’ teaching of One God…

Why then would the Old Testament, writen before the ascencion of the Greeks or Romans mentions God’s Son? See eg. Ps.2v7,12; Isa.9v5; Dan.7v13-14; etc.

Anyway, the offspring of the Greek and Roman gods were separate people. The Son of God is just a terminology to indate that Jesus is a part from God and not His physical offspring (the mistake the prophet Muhammad also made - not trying to blaspheme).
