Pelagius (fl. c. 390-418) the Non-Heretic ascetic rejected the NON-BIBLICAL
Augustinian Doctrine of "Original Sin".
The doctrine of "Original Sin" is not in the Bible and is not Cristian.
This false doctrine is presently taught by most Cristian denominations - and also by Alcoholics Anonymous - who insist to all their new arrivals that they have no control over their drinking.
Obviously people chose every drink. There is no such thing as an "alcoholic".
-------------------------------
The cartoon below iz a "Teology" fail - becoz "People are naturally good" is NOT what Pelagius said.
He said merely what we all know to be true but which is denied openly by the lie of Christianity AND by the lie of "Psychiatry".
That truth - which we all know is true and yet we allow the culture around us to deny - is simply that - we choose our deeds. ID EST - generally speaking, we have free will.
On the other hand, Augustine DID say something like - "People are naturally bad."
Of course this is equally mistaken, I would say.
The error is serious and negatively affects Cristianity and hence our whole culture today.

Incidentally in German the piece of language
"Rejection of the Doctrine of Original Sin"
is translated into:
Ablehnung der Erbsündenlehre.
or in French:
"Le rejet de la doctrine du péché originel."
The French SYNTAX is LONGER (8 Words for the German 3) , YET perhaps SIMPLER and CLEARER.
Do you agree?

In the past, Latin was a universal language and / or lingua franca of Christian Europe....... certainly of European education.
Latin was quite a SYNTHETIC rather than an ANALYTIC language itself. Like German!
Obviously I don't advocate returning to Latin - I am just discussing the issue. Nor am I meaning to criticise the German language.
