Translation - English a) The concept of sin and the relationship between God and man
Salvation, as rightly pointed out in the Declaration, means “liberation from the dominant power of sin” and “acceptance of communion with God.” But this determination of sin distinguishes sin from communion and neglects man's synergy to his renewal in Christ. Thus, the forgiveness of sins and the liberation of man from them is treated as an exogenous act that derives only from God . Sin is interpreted as something that determines the person (Totalbestimung), after the interruption of his communion with God, and leaves no room for any contribution to his regeneration in Christ . The presentation of the Lutheran view in § 28 is characteristic: “Nevertheless, the unjust remains dependent all his life, uninterruptedly from the salvific grace of God without conditions. Even he is always under the power of sin and does not escape from her seizure.” The Roman Catholic wording, on the other hand, though it supports the actual baptismal eradication of sin and all that is “condemned”, nevertheless accepts an tendency towards sin (concupiscentia) that comes from her and remains in man, in the extent to which the realization of sin has a “personal element” of man and remains as a “desire” . Thus, the transient state becomes an inherent element of human nature so that man will “not to escape from the seizure of sin” and sin either to “dwell within himself”, according to the Lutherans , or to exist as a possibility to the remaining desire, according to Roman Catholics . In this case, sin is not treated as a movement, but as a situation in which man lives and is determined by it . Thus, sin becomes autonomous, in some way and becomes the “prison” of the fallen man, from which man is freed only by Jesus Christ . Man, namely, is not sinful as long as he is in communion with God, but because after the fall he has interrupted communion with God, he lives within sin and his existence is determined by it . That is why man's justification is interpreted at the level of relations, that is, as “Wiederherstellung ... [der] Beziehung” and not on the basis of communion .
