Original Sin & DepravitySteve Gregg
Steve Gregg provides an insightful examination of the significant theological concepts of Original Sin and Human Depravity. He discusses the commonly understood definition of Original Sin as the belief that the entire human race inherited Adam's sin and sinful nature. Gregg delves into the Augustinian perspective of Original Sin and the idea of inherited guilt, contrasting it with the opposing views of Pelagius. He also explores the idea of total depravity, emphasizing that it does not mean absolute depravity but rather a natural inclination towards sin that goes against the nature of God. Overall, Gregg offers a thought-provoking discussion on these complex theological themes.
