A MISTRANSLATION THAT CHANGED WESTERN THEOLOGY: IMPORTANT!! Listen to this 1-minute audio - https://substack.com/profile/2772617-robert-d-hosken/note/c-277476235 - it explains how a tiny, one-letter mistranslation in Romans 5:12 has changed the way we think about God as a stern judge rather than as a loving Father. You can also read a longer explanation here: www.agape-biblia.org/literatura/#Augustine2 - read all the way down through "John Cassian." Our beliefs about freedom, sexuality, celibacy, and marriage have been seriously distorted by this idea that sin is passed on from Adam and Eve by conceiving their children and passed down to every generation after them.
