He says we have to believe in him or believe that christ died to remove it from us in order to be saved. Could this be a coercion tactic for more attention? Much like a child that throws a tantrum when they don't get their way...

God and Jesus are working the age old good cop,bad cop routine- original sin is just what they use to pull us in.

The explaination of Sin in the original Hebrew is missing the mark. To imagine that all humans must suffer because two people missed the mark is a religous ploy, not God inspired. John 3:16. For God so Loved the World....

Nope, that's not it at all. The idea behind original sin is that we have the capacity to sin, because of the way we are made. It's so hard to understand if you don't approach God as a God of love, or if you think of punishment as 40 lashes or something.
God doesn't need our attention, because we are not the center of the universe. We just aren't that important to the grand scheme of things. get off your high horse.

There is no original sin. Niether is God having any age old grudge against anybody. But we r here to learn lessons of life on how to give & recieve love of God which is always avalliable around us. God is love. To learn & unfold our potentials as spiritual beings.
The original sin help us to sin & then take responsibility, which help us gain expiriences in life.

God's ways are not our ways.
The New Testament and later books of the Old Testament state punishment for the sins of the father will not be visited on the sons. With that in mind, I don't see how we're being held accountable for the original sin.
However, we all sin. For all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God.

Think of original sin kind of like the negative consequences of your parents' sins. For instance, if your mother was a drug addict maybe she passed some of it down to you. That's not all of what original sin is, but it is a large part of it.

No its not a coecion tactic for more attention, god cares so much or He love us. so that he send his only son to die for us. only to save us. there is no other way that we could be saved but through him. and also he gave us the power of choice to do what ever we please, good or bad. and never unwillingly forced us to do something we are not willing to do. but everything he planned for us to do is for our own good.
