In our last episode Kegan Chandler presented his case against the classic doctrine of original sin. Today we are going to hear a critique from Jerry Wierwille of Chandler’s presentation. Wierwille makes the case for a middle position between Augustine and Chandler on the basis of the flow of thought in Romans 5.12-21. He agrees with Augustine that Adam’s sin corrupted human nature so that we are all born with rebelliousness in our hearts. However, he agrees with Chandler that these impulses are resistible, especially with God’s spirit living within us. This is part two of a four part series on Original Sin.

ESV
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned–
