This is the perfect example of projecting your guilt about Original Sin and of course Abraham's incest with Sarah outward. Thank you.

Where Did the Doctrine of Original Sin Come From? I don't suspect BL to be a Roman Catholic. AFAIK forgiveness and mercy, rather than guilt, are at the heart of the NT and the OT.

Paul's heresy against Israel is plain by his last five years in house prison in Rome, fleeing capital punishment from the Sanhedrin. Christians like to say that Paul was in trouble for teaching Christianity but that is obviously untrue because he answered the question by saying he taught the Noachide Laws to the pagans in Asia Minor. So the Sanhedrin was appeased.

He was in trouble for treason against Israel, his Roman citizenship papers but more so for perjury. - Paul lied to the Sanhedrin about purchasing the papers at all; to the point he told the Sanhedrin, under oath, that his ship in fact never even docked in Cyprus at all. But you have all heard that...

Israel was in exile at the time. Judah (a subpart of Israel) as a state, it is said, was coming to its end. Edom/Esau enemies of Israel and Judah (subpart of Israel) had taken chief positions in Judah after Hyrcanus forced integrated Edom/Esau into Judah. It is a matter of record that the Herods were Edomites. It has been suggested that Edom had come into alliance with Canaan and Ishmael.

Also, the scepter departed from Judah around 0 AD. Rabbinic Writings evidence this. This is further evidenced by the fact that the Judeans who wanted Jesus dead had to turn him over to the Romans to punish him.

In fact, Mandaeans and Manicheans believed Paul was a false prophet, who led his disciples away from the true religion; they believed Paul’s false religion was not based on the true teachings of John the Baptist (and the mentor of Jesus), who they believed.

But is it not interesting Mani and Simon Magus claimed to be Holy God, Christ, etc. but they had no problem with that? Simon Magus was made out to be a God in Rome some suggest.

They wore their hair very long, never cutting it, in the tradition of the scriptural Israeli Nazarites, the most famous of whom was Samson, who the Merovingians and Gnostics held in curiously high esteem.

Samson is said to have been of the tribe of Dan.

re: Original Sin

The worst sins in Manichean thinking were the sexual sins, because they resulted in more souls of light becoming imprisoned in evil bodies. According to Manichaeism, mankind was divided into three separate groups of people: the Sinners, the Hearers and the Elect. The Elect were obliged to refrain from all things that bound them to the material world: certain foods, sexual intercourse and manual labor. They were certain to obtain salvation once they died. The Hearers had to observe the same restrictions only on Sundays.



The Manicheans called themselves Christians, which made it easier for someone raised Catholic to see himself as an adherent of something that was really Christianity...

NO ONE Before Augustine taught that man was Born a Sinner or that his Free Will was in bondage to his flesh. Such Teaching came from the Gnostics!
