Where is the origin of the universalism of Jesus ?

Post by Giuseppe »

The origin is in the removal of the Original Sin, that contaminated all the men from Adam and without distinction of nationality.

Hence Jesus, by definition of sacrifice expiatory, had to be preached to gentiles even by the more fanatic xenophobic Jewish-Christians.

I thought original sin was a concoction of Augustine.
