We are not guilty of Original Sin but we are affected by it.
Original sin is the sin by which the first human beings disobeyed the commandment of God, choosing to follow their own will rather than God's will.
As a consequence they lost the grace of original holiness, and became subject to the law of death; sin became universally present in the world.
Besides the personal sin of Adam and Eve, original sin describes the fallen state of human nature which affects every person born into the world, and from which Christ, the "new Adam," came to redeem us.
With love in Christ.

Because of the original rule, every creature of God reproduces after it's own kind. Adam was created in the image of God, but we are all born in the image of Adam. Adam, when he started having children, had already fallen. This fall of original sin affected all of creation, not just Adam and Eve. The curse came about and so Adam's "Kind" was born just like him. Down through the ages the laws of entropy have collected more and more mutations from the original "Mother" and "Father" but we are still after Adam's kind. Some day this will all be repaired, it starts when you recieve that spiritual life back that Adam and Eve lost with the original sin when you recieve the Spirit of God within you upon conversion. When you placed your faith in Christ.

First, let me define the three aspects of sin;
1 The sin nature. The Bible says that we are, by nature, sinful. The claim that we are born innocent, is contrary to the Bible.
Eph 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
We inherrit this sin nature from Adam.
Rom 5:12 ¶ Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
2 We have a sinful state or standing before God. We are in a state of unrighteousness, guilty before a Holy God.
Rom 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
3 Acts of disobedience. Because we have a sinful nature, we commit sinful acts. We are not sinners BECAUSE we sin; we sin BECAUSE we are sinners.
A dog is not a dog because it barks, it barks because it's a dog.

BORN IN SIN
Born imperfect and anything can happen to any one at any age in this life that is short and so full of troubles at the very best possible, and because of imperfections it is easy to commit a sin from anger or from desire that is difficult to control.
Gen.8:21; The imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth. God and Christ have made plans to save the offsprings of Adam from the imperfections they are born into and to try and forgive the other sins.
PEOPLE HAVE TO WANT TO BE SAVED AND TO COMPLY WITH ALL THAT IS FOR THE GOOD OF SELF AND EVERY ONE ELSE.
Rom.5:8-11 God loved us first. John 3:16;

it's because of what Adam and Eve did, thats why we are natrually sinners. For example no one has to teach a child to be hateful when they don't want someone else playing with their toys. The bible even says that Jesus was born into sin so we may have ever lasting life, now he was born in sin but he never sinned.

We are all born of Adam's seed. That seed is corrupted because of Adam's sin against God. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23. Now we know we all sin because we all die. "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23. Everybody on this earth dies. God offers us eternal life through his son, Jesus Christ. If we repent of our sins and trust Jesus to save us then we will be saved. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Imputed sin through Adam the natural birth. Imputed righteousness through Jesus the spiritual birth. Remember you must be born again to enter the kingdom of Heaven. John 3:3.

God says that "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."
If God says so, then that's the way it is.

Original Sin is a term used to describe the effect of Adam's sin on his descendants (Rom. 5:12-23). Specifically, it is our inheritance of a sinful nature from Adam. The sinful nature originated with Adam and is passed down from parent to child. We are by nature children of wrath (Eph. 2:3).

the phrase is born into sin. that means that when you were born there would be temptations that would i guess you could call it 'tempt' you to do it. everybody sins, and we r not to judge one another. God can only judge us, well, we can judge each other here on earth but that phrase means that God is the one who will determine if we will enter Heaven or hell. not us. we have no power, for it says in the Lord's prayer, '...For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory...'
