LOL!Did I say any names, D? No, I didn't. And you're exhibiting exactly my point.
It doesn't matter who deserves what. It's not our place to "punish" or "expose" people, especially on the internet, where it's not even face to face.
You can choose to be kind, REGARDLESS of what someone else deserves. If you choose not to, that's YOUR choice.
a. Of original sin
After the sins of Adam and Eve in Gen 3:1-6 sin completely entered the world. This made it so that human nature was to sin (Rom 5:12-18 Eph 2:1-3). Therefore I teach in simple terms that people are inherently evil who desire to do good. This seems pessimistic but can also be backed up by simple logic. When a person raises a child, does that child have to learn to be selfish or does the child have to learn to share and be giving. Obviously the latter is true! The child does however learn to share and be giving because they desire to please their parents. And so it is with God, we where first selfish however our desire to please God brings us to our good works that where taught to us through his son Jesus Christ.
I also teach that Adams sin has carried through to all people more directly. In fact we all inherit Adams disobedience and it can be clearly said that it is a sin to have an earthly father. This is because Adams sin has been handed down to us all through our earthly fathers. This is proved in Rom 5:14 where Paul writes Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come
It is important to note that Paul says even those who did not sin by breaking a command. This means that if it where possible for one to live their entire lives with no other sin, they would still face the earthly death because they are still guilty of sin which was handed down through Adam. Realistically however the only people who can sin by not breaking a command are small children and the unborn. This belief is confirmed in Psalm 51:5 which states Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
This my brothers and sisters is why our savior was born of a virgin. This act was not just to show Gods mighty power but it was also to protect and save himself (In Jesus) from the sin of Adam handed down to all people. Therefore Jesus could not only be born sinless but continue in his life sinless. This also means that Jesus submitted himself to death willingly and was able to be resurrected 3 days later.
Anyone who does not teach original sin as the entering of sin into the world through Adam is guilty of a major error in teaching.
Anyone who teaches that we are not born sinners through Adam is guilty of a moderate error in teaching.
From my catechism (I'm sort of writing my own catechism for fun) Chapter 3 Part C
To claim children are innocent is foolish. Such a claim would indicate that they are not in need of Christ.
Such a claim regulates the virgin birth to "God showing off"
Such a claim states that people who don't break commands are sinless.
Sinful from birth.

Purity> Probably. . . It seems to be part of baptist, pentacostal and charasmatic theolgy. Its popular in the states but IMO theologically lacking.
It dates back to the anabaptists. Read through my book of concord and they don't have much nice to say about the anabaptists.
I have seen it in some baptist circles, definitely pentecostal and charismatic ones. But I'm a Reformed Baptist, so it's a little different for us
Interesting video... I couldn't exactly understand waht they were saying. Umm... what was the whole bit about calvinists though?
