EXZZZZACTLY!! And I had to snicker a bit when you wrote, “but what you were taught does not align with the apostolic faith.” !!!
Your choice of words is exquisite!!! You’re GREAT!!! (My big grinny smile remains!!) Love it! You’re incredible!
Was that an intentional double entendre? I have to ask!!!

No @Raina maam, I wrote it directly from my heart, without a filter. 
Your reply truly made me happy.
Call me naïve, but I cannot see the “double entendre” here. Explanation for the simpletons, please?
I won’t, I will not, No, No, NO, I will not call you naive!!
I don’t want to say the reason “out loud” here because it would hurt certain people in the church I attended most of my life, which I left, if I say it. Please forgive me!! 
I would agree with this. I would also add that it is in our flesh. We are submerged in a sinful, fallen Creation, we are endlessly tempted by the devil (demons) and we are also stuck in bodies of flesh that are just as fallen as the rest of material Creation.
“O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death (from this body of sin)?” Rom. 7:24
The actual flesh that we live within desires sinful deeds. It actually responds to the voice of the enemy and yearns for sin. It is only with God’s Spirit within us that we even desire to fight and resist these temptations and yearnings. And it is only through His strength that we are able to overcome them.
Would you say the doctrine of original sin is biblical @Bruce_Leiter ? @KPuff?
J.
Here are a few core Scriptures that support the doctrine of original sin:
Romans 5:12 — “Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned.”
This verse clearly shows that Adam’s sin had consequences for all humanity—not just death, but a sinful condition.
Psalm 51:5 — “Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.”
David isn’t saying his mother sinned in bearing him, but that he himself was sinful from the start.
Ephesians 2:1-3 — “You were dead in the trespasses and sins… by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.”
“By nature” points to an inherited condition, not just personal wrongdoing.
Genesis 8:21 — “…the intention of man’s heart is evil from his youth.”
Even after the flood, the human heart remained corrupted from an early age.
Yes, I think that Romans 5 clearly states that Adam was the head of humanity so that when he sinned, all humanity sinned, @Johann. At the same time, when the head of the church, Jesus, allowed himself to be sacrificed to give us the not-guilty verdict and righteousness, those qualities were given to all believers, whose lives would work them out.
Rom 5:9 Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.
Rom 5:10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
Rom 5:11 More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
Rom 5:12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned—
Rom 5:13 for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law.
Rom 5:14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.
Rom 5:15 But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.
No, doctrine of original sin is an evil doctrine…
We do not inherit the guilt of Adam’s sin, and it would be wrong to suggest that God holds us personally accountable for what he did. What we inherit are the consequences of his disobedience: mortality, a propensity to sin, and a world broken by sin. Salvation in Christ restores humanity, heals the consequences of the Fall, and brings life and communion with God.
