Sin, Evil, Inhumanity and Praise, Explanation & Criticism
Marlene Winell on Original Sin said...
Leaving the Fold (Oakland, CA: New Harbinger, 1993), p. 1.
In conservative Christianity you are told you are unacceptable. You are
judged with regard to your relationship to God. Thus you can only be
loved positionally, not essentially. And, contrary to any assumed ideal
of Christian love, you cannot love others for their essence either.
This is the horrible cost of the doctrine of original sin.
