(V/ us li * C b rt s h a, 9i a/ ogue49THE DOCTBINE OF ATONEMENTAND OBIGINAL SINC. So redemption of sin rhrough the crucifixion is not Jesru'teaching?M. This is the Doctrine of Atonement accepted by the Church threeto four centuries after Jesus left the earth. It contradicts the Bibleitself as the following passageshow: (Deut. 24:16): "The fathersshall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the childrenbe put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death forhis own sin." (Jeremiah 3l:30): "But every one shall die for hisown iniquify" (Ezekiel 18:20): "The soul that sinneth, it shall die.The son shall not bear the iniquity ofthe father, neither shall thefather bear the iniquity ofthe son: the righteousness ofthe righteousshall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be uponhim." So Adam and Eve were responsible for their own sin, whichhad also been forgiven by Allah according to the Islamic version."C. But these are in the Old Testament.M. Read what Jesus himself said in Matthew 7:l artd 2.C. "Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment yejudge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shallbe measured to you again."M. Read I Corinthians 3:8.C. 'Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one, and everyman shall receive his own reward according to his own labour."But we believe in Original Sin!M. Do you still want me to prove that children are bom withoutsin? Read Mafthew 19:14.C, "But Jesus said. Suffer little children, and forbid them not, tocome unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven."
