But What about Original Sin? | Genesis 3 | Pastor Craig Hadley
Manage episode 374780438 series 2367050
Laurel and Christian asked, "Did Adam and Eve understand the concept of evil prior to eating the fruit? Otherwise, how would they even understand the gravity of sin/all the consequences that came afterward? To us, it seemed a little puzzling that sin could be such a severe punishment if they didn’t fully understand that yet. This brought to question as to whether humanity truly had a fair choice/chance prior to the introduction of sin? How can someone make a moral/immoral decision without fully understanding what morality is, especially because God is the one who allowed Satan to enter the garden of Eden in the first place? "
Pastor Craig talks about the story of Adam and Eve, the history of the doctrine behind this question, his own personal faith journey, and his return to a belief he once let go.
