Marc I admit of some error here, and you also to a degree, but I do not think it appropriate to expand this subject on this forum, else we end up writing the whole catechism of Trent. LOL. If there is a physical defect, it cannot be called evil. I say that human babies like animals can have no tendencies that could be judged evil until those tendencies in the human, evolved into a wilful evil action. The child bares no responsibility for his parents, or for the actions of Adam and Eve. Eve and Adam are alone responsible for the babies fallen state, the body being a reflection of the stained soul, and this occurs because of a decree (curse if you like) by God Himself. And because Eve was the first cause co-operating with Satan, all women copped a real physical disability, once again by decree. This is what makes the mystery of redemption so much the more amazing, in that it is a woman, a new Eve restored with the purity of the original, who rejects sin, and is the first cause co-operating with the Holy Ghost, in redeeming all of humanity. This is so amazing and unimaginable to the human mind, that I wonder at thinking of it today for the first time myself. I guess that is what Robert B meant when he talks about the symbolism hidden behind the narrative of the Bible.. Philip. "restored with the purity of the original" = Immaculate conception. = no stain of original sin. 15 I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel. 16 To the woman also he said: I will multiply thy sorrows, and thy conceptions. In sorrow shalt thou bring forth children, and thou shalt be under thy husband's power, and he shall have dominion over thee. ----- Original Message ----- From: marc-veilleux@xxxxxxxxxxxx To: Geocentric Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2007 12:27 PM Subject: [geocentrism] Re: Malleus Maleficarum Philip, What I meant is that all babies are born with bad tendencies transmitted from generation to generation: from Adam and Eve (original sin) and I believe also that they inherit bad tendencies from generations after Adam and Eve; they have the power to choose not to follow these tendencies. I consider these bad tendencies evil in some way. By the way, when we deal with supernatural, we are dealing with God, so there is no such thing as a «supernatural stain» (sic) Original sin, according to the Council of Trent, is a stain in body and soul and it is transmitted through (natural) generation.

There must be millions and millions of them born Muslim, and Hindu, and even Jew. from birth till death, no chance of ever becoming good. \ but youse are not getting the principle in the right focus.. Original sin, does not make the baby evil. It is a supernatural stain on the soul, which being an imperfection, bars one from heaven; which the flesh can have redeemed by the blood of christ through baptism. If the baby dies un redeemed, it is not condemned, but goes to limbo..a pretty nice place... and who knows what happens after that. rumour has it that Enoch and Elias are there teaching them and they grow and are tested just like us....Like I said,, who knows..its not cut and dried, thats why its callled limbo.. Some say it is Eden.

Some of the babies are hurting their fellow babies for no reason. They were not corrupted by society. They are born with evil inside of them.

It has no conception of right and wrong. It is not born with "sin" in it, but rather with the propensity to develop a good side and a bad side. We teach it bad things as it grows. But as for the bible, if I am quoting things that occur in your bible, then surely you accept them, right? After all, it is not me that is the author of them. The fact that I reject large chunks that you adhere to is irrelevant in your acceptance of those things that I do hold are truthful and genuine. Surely you should be pleased that I have not thrown the whole book in the bin? Surely, in your opinion, that holds out some ray of hope for me? The point in this discussion was the tribal information contained in the Hebrew scriptures. Where do you get the idea from that you cannot quote to me passages that you accept as true? If you feel that I might present an argument against what you hold to be true, that is a different ball game. Just like the evolutionists, however, if your position is strong then it will stand up to criticism. If it is not, then it will collapse. No one is stopping you quoting bits of "your" bible, a book whose content was decided upon by a church that you have rejected.

Unless there is agreement on what the Bible is then nobody, in conversation with you, can use quotes from the 'Bible'. My Bible says that we are all born in sin. You do not have to teach children to be naughty, you have to teach them to be good.

This is a good question. There are definitely bloodlines, doesn't the bible speak of tribes and are not those tribes assumed to have certain characteristics? And does not history teach us that certain tribes have been consistently evil? I think that it does, even though those same wicked people try to distort and rewrite history to paint themselves as being persecuted. And are not the goyim caught in exactly the same traps that they have always been caught in? Me thinks that they are. Although most people are neither good nor evil, I tend to support the view that some people are intrinsically evil. Not a product of their environment or upbringing, but of their father ... you know who.
