Answer 2

And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.
(1 John 2:2) NKJV

If Jesus blood washed us from our sins, why are we still told that we are born in Original Sin?

Original sin is why mankind is in a fallen state. However, that’s not our fault. We’re born into this system but we’re not going to be held accountable for it. We have our own sin which is why we’re under the judgment of God.

Straightening out the Spaghetti

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
(2 Timothy 2:15) KJV

We’re going to straighten out the spaghetti but it can get bogged down in technicalities, which is why having a simple answer is preferable. The questions are good questions, though. This actually happens sometimes, even on Twitter.

A Simple Answer

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
(1 Peter 3:15) KJV

The gospel is simple, and the last thing that we want to do is confuse anyone. If you want to be saved there are only two things that you have to do:

Salvation

Call upon the name of Jesus Christ,
- believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,
confess your sin.

The Beginning of the End

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
(Romans 6:23) KJV

The corrupted state of creation isn’t the consequence of sin, it’s how sin can be possible. This then is our predicament: we live in a corrupted world and we have free will to be as evil as we want. What’s to stop us from being as evil as we can?

Sin and Corruption

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
(Genesis 2:17) KJV

Why was there a tree of knowledge of good and evil if God had created a perfect world? God didn’t create a perfect world, he created a corrupted one. Now we can understand the difference between corruption and sin.

He Became Sin for Us

For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
(2 Corinthians 5:21) NKJV

Christ had to become sin for us. This has a meaning which goes beyond the symbolism of Christ on the cross. It goes back to the nature of the matter of which the universe is made.

Corruption and Free Will

According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
(2 Peter 1:3-4) KJV

There’s a relationship between corruption and free will which goes, of necessity, all the way back to the formation of the cosmos. Light and darkness had to be mingled together in order to manifest free will.

What Fell First?

Matty's Paradigm a unified theory of everything

For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
(2 Corinthians 5:21) NKJV

God can’t abide sin, he can’t look on it. Yet in order for free will to be a possibility, sin has to be possible. How does a perfectly pure and righteous God create a system which allows evil to exist? He has to go against his own nature and become sin for us.

God Can’t Lie

Planet earth on the second day as concentric layers of sediment around a gravitational singularity

In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
(Titus 1:2) KJV

What are the logical implications of “God can’t lie?” Total destruction of the mainstream science paradigm (SciPop). Figuratively speaking we’re going to do to SciPop what Samson did in Lehi with the donkey’s jawbone.

Reprobate Mind

But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
(1 Corinthians 9:27) KJV

We (most of us anyway) have a conscience. When we do something wrong we feel bad about it. We may even fear the consequences of what we’ve done, karma, coming back on us because we reap what we sow.
