Jon (and others reading Antoine’s latest post):
It’s important that you understand the “Catholic-Style” doctrine that @AntoineSuarez is relying upon!
I started a whole thread to discuss his scenario:
The former Pope (still breathing) started recent-times discussion of the idea … but I do not know if Antoine is saying that the retired Pope was the one to first formulate the idea in complete form … or if he merely picked up the burden to teach someone else’s idea from generations ago!
Antoine is now applying the idea (that was intended to apply even to Creationist interpretations of Post-Eden’s population) to the parallel problem of Biological Hominids being identical in all physical ways to the Hominid family that God adopted and “infused” with Moral understanding … making them humans as we now understand the term!
-
Hominids abound (by Creation or by Evolution).
-
God takes one, or one pair, and makes them Morally aware.
-
By contact, or by God’s intervention in all future hominids, all humanity becomes morally aware within a finite number of generations.
4) At some point, the first behavior of Sin occurs. This is probably not because of the holy behavior of the hominids, but because it takes moral awareness to be guilty of sinning. Once God triggered Moral Awareness in all hominids, only then can the first Sin occur.
-
God is confronted by the choice of “Saving” just the humans who have sinned (and ignoring the other non-sinners), or deciding if all humanities require the same treatment (whatever the treatment is).
-
God concludes that he cannot ignore the non-sinning humans, because they are not exposed to Moral Choice if he does ignore them.
-
God adds “The Original Sin” as part of their Soul for all humans born from now on.
-
God is then able to extend the same grace and salvation to all Humans.
Correlate Conclusion: Original Sin is not transmitted genetically (genetics are a part of the flesh/physiological side)… but because God intentionally Includes the nature of “Original Sin” in each human soul.
