This was an article which then became a chapter in the book below. Numerous articles on the topic of Original sin have since been made available: This particular chapter highlights the passages of Scripture that indicate how spiritual life did not end with Adam and is always there except where sin is found active.
I do leave a brief description though of the contents of this chapter and a list of the other chapters of the book as per the Contents page:
Journey into Light explains from the
Bible how there exists in every man spiritual life no matter how little irrespective of the Fall. The idea of total depravity or total inability is resoundly denied existence by the evidence of scripture. Jesus was explicit that we all 'have' until a time when 'it' is removed in direct relationship to the rejection of the person involved, but not until then (Matthew 13:12).
If you are reading this after reading the article on Islam,
The Devil, and Israel then consider taking a look at the two online chapters below. The first explains how a non-Christian can already be born again. The second explains how evangelism for the Christian is building on what God has already done and, if you can see yourself as practising righteousness and thus may be already born again since John the disciple of Jesus said "If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him." (1 John 2:29), then I recommend you make the next step and talk to God as per the prayer at the end of that 2nd online chapter.
