Assignment:

Augustine, in light of our discussions about DNA and blood in this unit, postulated in Romans 5 that sin enters the world via the paternal line (transmission of sin), necessitating the necessity of Christ's virgin birth.

When considering the importance of Christ's blood as a sacrifice for our sins, how does Augustine's hypothesis affect our conception of humanity? Romans 3:21-26, Hebrews 2:17, Isaiah 53, Hebrews 9-10, 1 John 1:5-9, and other passages and ideas can be found in the Bible.

To stimulate discussion and further your thoughts, it would be helpful to conduct some independent research on Augustine's hypothesis. It is crucial for Christians to completely grasp the singularity of Christ's blood when discussing blood in forensics. Though you are completely mortal, what thoughts about Christ's blood have you considered in light of what you have read and learned?
