Lutheran Theology is unique on this one.
We believe in "Simul Justus Et Picatur"
Luther's oft quoted Latin phrase means Sinner yet at the same time Saint!
So yes they are contradictory, but also reality.

OK I come from this on both sides.
As a theologian I view mankind through both eyes. He is basically
good, but there is a corrupt part of him that will screw you whenever
he gets a chance.
Sorry Stewart, I know you're in the business of thinking people are
good, but these two statements are contradictory. If people were
basically good they wouldn't be trying to screw you at every
opportunity (and *wouldn't* need regulating).
