What's wrong with concepts anyway?

[yrieithydd]

I'm not entirely sure. But OTOH, I do think the historicity of Christ is important! (And why suddenly a post on this?)

[grumpyangel]

Because you'd linked back to it on a post I was reading, I think reading emperor's LJ via caliston's f-list...

I often think that 'first adam' is the collective human experience....

[yrieithydd]

I think I think something similar.

[grumpyangel]

you think you think? *grins*

I think you think you think, but whether you think I think is another matter *giggles*

I suppose it was that I think that the way I look at it is broadly similar, but we might be meaning slightly different things.

We are fallen creatures. We chose to be like gods on our terms. And to me original sin `works' because we are broken by others' brokenness, so break people by our brokenness. The cross breaks the cycle.

I like pelagius...

but yes, I think I see what you mean.

[yrieithydd]

What's Pelagius got to do with it?

[grumpyangel]

Pelagius didn't like the doctrine of original sin :)

(At least, that's what came up in the discussion on Tuesday)
