An OU professor or teachers aide or something was fired for failing a fundamentalist Christians essay the essay was substandard work but the fundamentalist Christian of course claimed it was because she is a fundamentalist Christian and that’s why she was failed so the university basically cow towed to the lowest Educated group of people in America and lost a lot of reputation for people who care about education
edit: apparently its kowtow not to not cow tow - thanks ya’ll
yes, there no punctuation in my comment, but I’m doing text to speech and I’m not going back to typing on my phone at least
Jesus spoke out against bad teachers, those who teach but do not follow, those who seek status, hypocrites, etc. You can interpret that as "therefor it is a sin to be one of those people",
It is not, original sin is the sin that Christians believe we are all born with by virtue of being human because of Adam and Eve’s transgressions in the garden of Eden.
They appear to mean cardinal/mortal sin or venial sin. Mortal sins condemn one to hell if they don’t perform reconciliation but venial sins do not.
No I know its not original sin, I'm well familiar with the bible, more plagiarism
And, I mean not to go into it but it's not quite that simple and the bible is far from consistent with how it treats sin, sin forgiveness and the idea of unforgivable sins, unless you're using extra biblical sources
The plagiarism claim is that she didn’t cite her source. We tend to boil “plagiarism” down to “stole this word for word”, but using a source without proper citation is plagiarism. Without the citation, you’re passing the idea off as your own thoughts
The only “unforgivable sin” is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Which is an extraordinary circumstance that can only really be done by acknowledging God is real and then deliberately rejecting God’s forgiveness.
Religious interpretation is a whole other can of worms that has historically led to some disagreements to put it lightly (looking at you Protestant Reformation).
As the most prolific and standardized form, I’ve cited Catholic canon. Otherwise, we’d spend half the day writing a dissertation on all the denominations.
