What is Original Sin?

"sexuality isnt a sin its a punishment" what was the original of this aphorism?

  • it was sth like this i couldnt remember the original and who said this.

  • Answer:

    The only place I've heard this idea is that in the novel "Inherit the Wind," the author in stereotyping Christians as arrogant prudes has one of the lawyers refer to sex as 'original sin.' That might be a phrase to Google. Contrast that, though, with the God I know who said "Be fruitful and multiply" before Adam and Eve ever sinned. Consider the verses on the following link. The first from 1 Corinthians 7 might be a contender; people often miss the context that Paul is answering a specific question, not setting out to emphasize or create a doctrine. http://www.openbible.info/topics/sex_in_marriage

It was Paul, it's always Paul when it comes to sex repression and bigotry, duh. Romans 1:26 - God makes people gay as punishment, apparently.

Saul of Tarsis, the founder of Christianity, was probably a self-loathing homosexual. If only he had managed to prevent all Christians from breeding!
