Christianity states man was born in sin is this not a negative religion?

Answer 1

If this was all it said that would be so. Fortunately it tells the way to remedy the situation by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ whose terrible death on Calvary's cross gives the possibility for all to have the guilt, the power and the consequences of sin to be destroyed forever out of their lives.

Another way to look at it would also be to say that Christianity 'tells it like it is.' It not only speaks of the fact that man is born in sin, and tells where that came from originally, from a real and literal fall from a state where there was no sin, by man's free choice. The pages of The Bible are full of demonstrations of the consequences of sin, from the first anger and resultant murder, (Genesis 4) right down to God's final and terrible judgment on it in the book of Revelation.

Christianity is thus firmly anchored in explaining as the late philosopher Francis Schaeffer put it, 'The world that is and the mannishness of man.' In other words, it is firmly anchored in the awful reality of life as we have it, and this includes the reality of sin both in its origin and in its outworking in the lives of people. l Answer YES..
