I was born with a Potential to Sin, but was not born a sinner (with any Original Sin). I developed into a sinner due to the influence of the sinful world I was born a part of. The Western Church proclaims I was born a sinner because I inherited the Original Sin of Adam and Eve.. The Eastern Church proclaims I was born pure and without sin, but with a Potential to Sin.. The Eastern Church proclaims that in my being born with a Potential for Sin, I fullfiled that potential due to the effects of being born into and being a part of a Sinful World. The Eastern Church proclaims my Inheritance from Adam and Eve is that of the Consequences of Sin which is death. I am saved by Grace Alone. Grace through Faith. Grace that must be renewed through repentance.
My Spirit is Eternal and as God Wills will be placed into Eternal Darkness or Eternal Light at the final Judgement.
