Man and Sin: Anthropology, Hamartiology, and the Early Church View

Описание: Did we lose our Free Will after the Fall? Are infants born guilty before God?

In this episode of the podcast, we take a deep dive into Anthropology (the study of man) and Hamartiology (the study of sin). Based on the extensive research of Dr. Ken Wilson, we explore what the Bible—and the first 300 years of Church history—actually teach about the nature of humanity.

We examine the "Image of God" (Imago Dei), tackle the controversial doctrine of "Inherited Guilt," and look at the "receipts" from the Early Church Fathers to see if they believed in Total Depravity or Free Will.

Whether you are a theology student or just asking big questions about human nature, this episode will challenge the common Augustinian/Calvinist narrative with historical data and scriptural insight.

In this video, we cover:

Why God created humanity (it wasn't just for His amusement).

The difference between the "Sin Nature" and actual sin.

Why the doctrine of "born sinners" is dangerous for pastoral counseling.

Quotes from the Early Church Fathers (Ignatius, Justin Martyr, Tatian) proving they believed in Free Will.
