Was the doctrine of Original Sin always part of Christianity… or was it developed later?
In this MythVision episode, biblical scholar Robert M. Price dives into one of the most important debates in Christian history:
👉 Pelagius vs Augustine
At the center of this controversy is a powerful question:
- Are humans born sinful and incapable of choosing good?
- Or can individuals freely choose righteousness and salvation?
This discussion explores:
- Whether Original Sin was truly taught by Paul—or shaped later by Augustine
- The role of grace vs free will
- Why Pelagius believed humans could live righteously
- How Augustine’s view led to doctrines like predestination
- The connection between theology and church authority
We also examine how:
- Early Christianity may have had different views before becoming institutionalized
- The idea of sin evolved alongside the growth of the Church
- Infant baptism became tied to the concept of inherited sin
This is more than theology—it’s about power, control, and the evolution of belief systems.
⚠️ This topic challenges deeply held assumptions about Christianity.
