“Emerging Church Leader Denies Original Sin”
by Way Of Life Literature - Friday News Notes   
February 7th, 2009

In his “New Christians” blog for January 26, emerging church leader Tony Jones calls the doctrine of original sin “a depraved idea.” He says, “I have come to reject the notion of Original Sin. I consider it neither biblically, philosophically, nor scientifically tenable.” Jones testifies that he first began to doubt this doctrine while studying the “church father” Augustine. Jones calls him “the great father of Western theology,” but in reality Augustine was the great heretical father of apostate Roman Catholic theology. Many have been led into the steps of unbelief and even into the arms of Rome herself through studying the so-called church fathers. They are the ones that presumptuously introduced such heresies as infant baptism, veneration of relics, priestcraft, hierarchicalism, sacramentalism, and Mariolatry. As for the doctrine of original sin, philosophy and science are irrelevant. The only question is what saith the Scripture, and Scripture plainly teaches that mankind fell through Adam’s sin (Romans 5:12-19) and that all men are therefore born in sin (Psalm 51:5), spiritually dead (Ephesians 2:1-2), unrighteous (Romans 3:10), with a darkened and deceitful heart (Jeremiah 17:9).

Editors Note.....Warning to believers!  The Emerging Church is Apostate, they have departed from the sound doctrine of God's word.
