Comment on LSU Removes Dr. Lee Grismer as Chairman of the Biology Department by gene fortner.
Bill,
The reason that the RCC baptizes infants is the concept of original sin. SDA church does not believe in that concept.
The teachings of Augustine opened the doors to the pagan concept of original sin, which taught that the original sin of Adam required the punishment of all the human race. In other words, we are guilty for Adam’s sin. This teaching proclaimed that we sin because we are sinners, not that we are sinners because we have sinned. This teaching is a major error and is contrary to the Bible. While we inherit from Adam sinful flesh and his tendency to sin, the act of sin itself is a volitional act.

George,
The Bible explains why. You should try reading it.
Can man create bad germs? Is that called biological warfare?
Is that Intelligent Design?

Bill “How inane would it be to claim an apple tree is not an apple tree unless and until it has apples on it?”
Bill,
Comparing babies and apple trees is a bit more inane than comparing apples and oranges.
BTW,
“The ONLY DEFINITION FOR SIN that we have in the Bible is that it is the transgression of the law… IT CONDEMNS EVERY SIN, AND REQUIRES EVERY VIRTUE.” E.G. White, ST, March 3, 1890 par. 3.
If it is a sin to possess a fallen nature then there must be a law against it. Has God given a law forbidding anyone from being conceived with a fallen human nature? If there ever was a law that was impossible to keep, this would be it, for how could one choose not to violate it before one existed?!

Ethan,
IMHO,
No statement was necessary.
In fact I consider it thoughtless.
FB#6 should have absolutely no effect on their ability to support the world church and perform work faithfully and with integrity.

@Bill Sorensen:
Bill,
Sin is transgression of the law.
Where does it say being born is a sin?
