Human beings - we are not sinners for all eternity, we must progress until we reach perfection
For centuries, the Church has continually repeated that human beings are sinners, conceived in sin and born in sin. This notion has been propagated with such insistence that it has prevented humanity from improving, depriving people of hope and the desire to extricate themselves from this situation. Of course, there is some truth in it. Humans are conceived in sin: just look at the conditions in which parents conceive their children! Is it in an atmosphere of light, purity and true love? No. Well, they will already have transmitted some faults to the child. But to insist that, ever since Adam and Eve, original sin must necessarily be handed down from generation to generation? No. If human beings find light, if they do their best to cultivate goodness, honesty, justice and wisdom, the fact that Adam and Eve sinned is not important; everything can be changed, transformed. We must not inculcate ideas that keep people forever held down by guilt, with no hope of any improvement. Granted, we are sinners, but we are not obliged to remain so for all eternity. We must keep progressing until we reach perfection.
