Well its been over a month and I’m still not done with everything I’m trying to finish. Some of which is going through my computer room and straightening it up at the insistence of my dear wife. Think of the Aegean Stables only worse.
However, Marc over at Critical Belief left some comments at an old post of mine at Doxoblogy that I am going to try to answer here before the week is over.
Now at Marc’s blog in the about statement he posts this:
Hello and welcome!
If you’re interested in learning about Christian beliefs and/or criticizing the Christian faith, you’ve come to the right place. I’m up for questions, comments and discussion on almost any matter of philosophy and I consider myself a critical and open-minded counterpart.
I’m a believer who believes based on logic and reason as well as personal experience and I’m keen to hear your views.
Marc
Now to my old eyes it appears he’s looking for a reason to criticize Christian theology based upon his “reason, logic, and experiences” which makes me question what his basis for reason and logic are. But I won’t be going into that instead I will deal with his comments on Original Sin which you can read here and here .
See you soon.

Don’t get me wrong my friend. I just think a great deal of what we teach is human tradition and not God’s Word. I also happen to believe that reason, logic and science are the Christian’s domain and that we need to reclaim what atheists have hijacked. I’m sure if you read my posts you’ll see I’m not a critic of Christianity but a believer who thinks critically.

Well Marc while I also consider logic, reason, and science to be part of the Christian Weltanschauung they must fall under the authority of scripture they can not exist outside of it.
However, your statements regarding original sin and your exegesis of the verses in Romans is my main concern.
