[QUOTE="Jonaitis, post: 76770878, member: 416033"] I am not sure what you are asking. The doctrine is essentially saying that God's image in us has been "damaged" or "contaminated" by our forefather's sin. However, if you are born again, you have a new spirit, while the flesh remains corrupt. Do you sometimes think sinful? It is because of Adam's corruption. This is an example. You can still have meaningful positive self-esteem, and if you are born again, you have a new spirit, because you are a new creation. The flesh is still opposing to God, but not the spirit. [/QUOTE]
