For better and worse.
Historically, generally it seems for the better, although there have been highs and lows.
What about judgment for our own actions?
Is it Christian doctrine that we get to decide if we're saved from original sin? That's new to me.
Beg pardon?
Morality has progressed since the times of the Roman occupation of Israel, but that is irrelevant to the notion of 'sin' which is intrinsic, and to the particular 'sinful' activities which have been immutable edicts since the codification of the New Testaments, all before 1000AD.
All our actions and attitudes come under judgment though there is apparently only one unforgivable sin Again, what about your own sins.
Putting Calvinism aside, where it's not a 'judgment' at all, it's a whim (we can't 'earn' our way into heaven)... I'm guilty, regardless, just by virtue of being born, but that's OK because someone else didn't die really, so that's accounted for. Then I might be judged against my compliance to one or more lists of apparently arbitrary rules, some of which make sense some of which are absolute nonsense, which describe things so abominable that they warrant eternity in hell, except for the ones which suddenly became perfectly fine around the turn of the first millenium. But gay stuff's still a no-no, rape is a grey area, slavery's fine along as you abide by the fine-print. Who the hell has the audacity to espouse that and then claim they're in a place to judge me?
The one’s Adam and Eve couldn’t possibly be accountable for.
I'm condemned, and Jesus needs to die for a weekend, because of Adam and Eve - original sin. Or, if that's an allegory, because of human nature. Which I was born with, and didn't get to choose. That's entirely separate from any of my actions, which may or may not be relevant depending on which flavour of Christianity you take your crisps in.
Secondly, what makes you think you are special enough to be sent to hell when others are not?
Fucked if I know, ask the Christians (and others) who are of the opinion that I should go to hell for: having IVF children; not believing in the Baby Cheesus; working on a Saturday; working on a Sunday; still having an entire penis; eating shellfish; advocating for equal rights for women, gay people... I'm not saying I'm going to hell, I don't even like Spain. It's other people claiming I'm going to hell.
That is not the Christian view.
There is no 'THE' Christian view. There are hundreds, perhaps thousands of Christian views. And that's before you get into the more diverse variants of the ruleset of Prequelists and the Sequelists.
You are judged on your own actions since Adam and Eve cannot possibly have committed or chosen to have committed them.
Tell that to the Catholics and the Calvinists, and get two different arguments as to why you're wrong.
Your sins and misdemeanours are not entirely their responsibility
They're entirely not their responsibility. But they're also, in a large part, absolutely not something someone should be judged for.
Again disobedience only appears after obedience. We didn’t start disobedient.
And we're back to why Satan's the real hero of the story.
Now, to some obedience has a bad connotation.
Blind obedience is problematic. Obedience to arbitrary rules rather than agreed principles is problematic. You know, like religion.
That is why the bible talks of man walking with God in unbroken and intimate relationship...
When he drowned them all? Or when he killed off all their firstborn? Or when he sent down pillars of fire to destroy their towns? Or when he set his fan-club on them to kill all the men and male children, and take the girls and women as sex-chattel. So that I could be judged for 'sins' like eating prawns. Are prawn cocktails crisps sinful if they only taste 'like' prawns and not actually 'of' prawns?
That is what God sought to restore while satisfying justice and negating the consequences of sin. And it is that which is rebelled against.
I'm sorry, if you can get to the end of this and you still think that 'justice' and 'sin' are somehow related concepts then I'm obviously not getting through. I'm not 'rebelling against god', I'm not falling for the bullshit of the churches.
