astonish philosophers.
Who will then be surprised to see that religion only makes us know
profoundly what we already know in proportion to our light?
444. This religion taught to her children what men have only been able to
discover by their greatest knowledge.
445. Original sin is foolishness to men, but it is admitted to be such. You
must not, then, reproach me for the want of reason in this doctrine, since I
admit it to be without reason. But this foolishness is wiser than all the
wisdom of men, sapientius est hominibus.[71] For without this, what can we
say that man is? His whole state depends on this imperceptible point. And
how should it be perceived by his reason, since it is a thing against
reason, and since reason, far from finding it out by her own ways, is averse
to it when it is presented to her?
446. Of original sin. Ample tradition of original sin according to the Jews.
On the saying in Genesis 8:21: "The imagination of man's heart is evil from
his youth."
R. Moses Haddarschan: This evil leaven is placed in man from the time that
he is formed.
Massechet Succa: This evil leaven has seven names in Scripture. It is called
evil, the foreskin, uncleanness, an enemy, a scandal, a heart of stone, the
north wind; all this signifies the malignity which is concealed and
impressed in the heart of man.
Midrasch Tillim says the same thing and that God will deliver the good
nature of man from the evil.
