Passage

Romans 2

• Glossary Term

  Sin

  Shared vocabulary with Islamic theology, but with a narrower semantic range than Romans requires: Islamic theology holds each person accountable only for their own individual sins, with no doctrine of inherited Adamic guilt or total depravity (Islam holds humans are born in a state of natural purity, fitrah).

  ROM.2.6-11

• Doctrine

  Universal Human Accountability

  Romans' claim of inherited sin-nature from Adam (not merely individual sins) goes beyond Islamic theology's affirmation of individual accountability without inherited guilt (humans born in fitrah, natural purity); this additional claim must be taught explicitly, not assumed already shared.
