You were born. That's enough. You returned to the Wheel of Samsar.
I am not saying wicked or else. Semantics.
But by simple virtue of being born again, you show that you are not progressed to the stage, when you do not re exist.
If it will make you feel better, both Lakshmi and Sri Bhagwan Radjnish say that no one is guilty or responsible of their deeds. Lakshmi will say that you were conditioned, from birth, into what you are, so there is no one to blame. Radjnish will say that you are god's creation and god particle. God accepted and accepts you in creation, so creator is responsible for its creation.
I don't think yours is or mine .
We can get distracted by pretty things ...as children we can get hurt and push another down in the sand box...
but, wicked'?
I think your essence is pure and innocent. Mine, too.
We go astray sometimes, not always..and our conscience gets to us.
Some in prison have been so wounded by others that their thinking is clouded with their pain that has turned into anger.
But, inside deep in their hardened heart is still a pure little kid..
Note: This isn't in the Christian section so I think we all know Bible quotes.
The question is clearly do YOU think...YOU....not what someone else thought and wrote.
Are we weak? Sure...but , born wicked? That's the question here.
Thanks.
Not surprised. Not a lot of folks on this forum believe the Bible.

You're probably even wrong about that - More people here probably believe it, but they know better than to take we goddless bastards on in R/S let alone A/A and would rather damn each other as heretics on the Christianity forum.

Could be. Interlinear Bible, here we go again...
I took Matthew 16. 4 'ponera' it also applies to usage relating to evil spirits, so it seems to be bad, malevolent, ill will, just doing bad stuff because they are bad, and that's the way they are.
It was interesting that the OT was loaded with 'wicked' references, Matthew had a good handful and Luke and Acts about 4, and Paul a half dozen, and Mark not one. I'd guess a different Greek term was used, but it's possible that it might only be found in Material common to Matthew and Luke.
Jizzuz, you people keep finding research work for me.

I'm your huckleberry. I'll 'take you on' if you don't believe in Jesus Christ.
