Original sin.
Please give me all the verses that talk about the original sin in the Bible.

It can't be more than a handful somewhere in the epitles.

Jesus does not say a single word on the subject.
Apart from the false interpretation of the garden of Eden story the OT does not say a single word on it either.

Isn't it strange that not one prophet of God in the OT has anything to say about the fall of mankind and the need for a saviour.

Isn't it strange that Jesus did not state that this was his purpose.

Purgatory, Limbo.
Ditto. Please provide all verses which talk about it.

Are we to be surprized that Christians today cannot agree on these subjects?</strong>

Trust me, any Xtian who purports to find these verses for you is being disingenous, b/c they will also have to provide a false interpretation of the verse to fit the pre-existing doctrine.Just like the Trinity, Purgatory, limbo,Original sin and the Fall of Mankind, the need for a saviour, are NOT BIBLICAL(OT) but are NT extrapolations made ny Paul and the Church Fathers after him.

peace and blessings

Since we're on Genesis Fairy Tales, what is the Communion of Saints that is said in the Apostles Creed (the one I was indoctrinated into as a Presby)???

And don't forget the Lutherans who get pissed at the "holy catholic church", who are too stupid to understand that "catholic" with a small C means wide-ranging or universal. Guess they don't know the difference between a capital C and lowercase C. <img src="graemlins/banghead.gif" border="0" alt="[Bang Head]" />
