Sin and forgiveness

{2.6}
d) iv. The rejection of God and the refusal to accept his love by disregarding his
commandments.
A deliberate offence against the true order of things.
v. Original sin refers. To the fallen state of mankind, into which one is born,
even if he has not sinned.
Original sin does not cause us to sin, it is only the inclination and capability to sin.
God sent Jesus to redeem us from our original sin.
Baptism is an initiation sacrament — an encounter with Christ introducing one to the
faith — which is the way out of the kingdom of death to the church; the beginning of
communion with God.
We become children of God in baptism, freed from sin and destined for life in God’s
joy.

vii. Heaven is the dwelling place of angels, saints and God — love and lauding of
and in God.

viii. It was the choice of one of is angels to leave God. God gave the angels free
will, and they chose to rebuke God’s command.

reconciled the world to himself and sent the Holy Spirit for the forgiveness of sins.
Through the ministry of the Church may he give you pardon and peace. And I
absolve you from your sins, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Spirit.”

the Lord to enter into a place of sin.
