What was the original sin?

Question

Paul you sent out a question yesterday about what was the original sin thank you for choosing my answer as the best. But I did not have time to fully explain it because I had to go to a doctor for my back. If you want to resubmit it, I will have room to explained every scriptures.

Answer 1

Eve was deceived, but Adam willfully sinned.

Answer 2

I missed your musings with Paul, but I'd say that fear is the driving force behind/beneath/underneath the original (i.e.: foundational) sin. And Genesis 3 doesn't account for it but taking as a narrative unit the tree incident in the garden, Cain's actions and on the following chapter, the beginnings of male oppression, polygamy and private property, all the way down to Babel which is the crown of original sin: linguistic imperialism and ethnically monolithic society.

Answer 3

***What was the original sin? ***

The first or the original sin belongs to the Creator, when he began to create.

The Bible Genesis 1: 1
In the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth.

The Quran 002.030
Behold, the Lord said to the angels:
"I will create a vicegerent on earth."
They said: "Will you place therein one who will
make mischief therein and shed blood?
while we do celebrate Thy praises
and glorify Thy holy name ?"
He said: "I know what you know not."

Most religious folk will blindly absolve the Creator of all responsibility for that which he supposedly created.
After all he was the Creator of all.
All unequivocally includes sin and all other stuff.

Probably the question needs to be restated
more precisely.The Original sin belongs to God
for sure.

Have a blessed day.

Answer 4

One of the original sins was God lying to Adam and Eve about dying the day they ate the fruit.

And, the other more serious sin was God allowing the equivalent to a child molester into the Garden with the intellectual equivalent to infants. They did not know right from wrong, yet that didn't stop God from sending Satan to be alone with them so he could molest them.

The Biblical God is a wicked & evil person who commits all manner of sin.

Answer 5

The original sin was when Adam (man) went against God's word when he ate of the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (man, that's a mouthfull).

Answer 6

The original sin? Believing a story like the Creation account in Genesis in the first place would be my guess.

Answer 7

The original sin was wanting to be god. That is where our trouble started. God wanting to fulfill everyone's every desire had to find some way to make us happy. Unfortunately, it just goes against our true eternal nature to go on trying to play like we are god.

Answer 8

Original sin, like the most rampant one today - Disobedience.

God said don't touch fruit of wisdom.
serpent/satan said eat
Eve tricked, disobeyed a direct command from God, and ate it.
Gave Adam, Adam knew what it was, and still he took it.

Disobedience

Answer 9

Consider this from Rom. 5:12:

Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned – for before the law was given, sin was in the world. But sin is not taken into account when there is no law. Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come.
--------------
Here Paul tells us that through the sin of one man came death and sin. And that through this one transgression there was condemnation to all of humankind (Rom. 5:18). Death reigned “even over those who did not sin by breaking a command…” This is interpreted as to include infants.
--------------------
And then consider this: Rom. 5:18

Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men. For just as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

And one must not ignore David’s confession in Psalm 51:5:

Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
---------------
So original sin is the foundation by which all our actual sins come from. (Actual sins are the sins which you and I do, think and feel)

Answer 10

The sin of disobediance by partaking of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge
