The Doctrine of Original Sin

[Benoni]

This is pretty much the same conversation I am having with my Muslin brother's over on another thread. The Bible is divine the Quran and the Book of Mormon are jst man made religious books. What makes the Bible divine was the question. I awaiting an anwser from both sides. I give them 24 hours.

Looks as thought it's not possible to keep a thread on point. What's this thread about again? Oh yes, original sin. The doctrine is:

a) Not binding on anyone other than Roman Catholics and certain of their Protestant descendants;
b) Not obvious given biblical data;
c) Not necessary, even to support the New Testament's affirmation of our need and God's provision of a saviour;
d) Connected with myriad abuses and mischief, particularly involving a system according to which one can/should/must buy off/appease the wrath of God on our "original sin" through the acquired righteousness of others (saints)

Shall we then break to a fresh topic, and redefine the parameters?
