Original Sin Part I

What is the point for the sacrifice of Christ to save the world if we are gonna keep going back to the fall of man. Christ sacrifice is a renewal for humanity mnot an excuse to continue in sin. Today, I went to buy a soda at the local liquor store. I usually have a direct route strait to the refrigerator and over to the counter to pay and leave. I have never walked around the store. When I walked in today, the owner was getting re-supplied and I had to meander throught the store. Holy smokes, there was a third of the store covered in booz. I did not know there was that much liquoer inside. I got my soda and went to the counter to pay. The owner was talking to a liquor merchant to buy more booz. I mention to the owner, I did not know you had so much much liquor in here. The both chimed inn in unison, whatever you need we have it. I was like no I do not need, but you can come to my church. They both said they go to church and are Catholics. The liquor merchant said he felt bad selling booz to all the executives in downtown and the owner did not say he had the problem but compared drinking the caffine in my soda to drinking booz. So booz is the same as soda to the guy? I bought my soda and said as Catholics you have confessions with priest to absolve your sin, I do not so I don't drink. Technically, I get my Lord's prayer answered in 20/20 hindsight but that is a different story.

My first problem is that they both felt bad that they where selling liquor to people. Right there in that instance, there is some aspect of the trinity telling not to do it or just being human. I think since the grace of God and Christ we have that know without being a Christian (debatable). We get it more as Christians. There is a point where we have no desire to do wrong and we do good. Saying we are under the burden of original sin is not good. Christ redeemed us for us thus we have that little thing in us that says don't do it. People, squash that out of them and do whatever they choose (can be gotten back), The little voice will not have to tell you that action is wrong, but you are doing right. either can be cultivated, I know the way to cultivate it in the optimum conditon is with the grace of God through Christ.

These two guys go to mass and get there sin absolved by a priest but go back to doing it the next week until they can no longer bear it and go back to the priest. Im like go to God and you will get on the path to peace. The doctrine of original sin gives everybody the ability to do evil. I accept Christ to know the good in life, not to keep doing the same wicked deeds. I am still thinking about the whole cadre of things.
