all sinful. Since it is impossible not to sin (except Christ and perhaps Mary if you are Catholic) why are we held accountable to such a harsh reality over something that we had no control over. It's not like our free will will prevent sin from happening at all. I don't know, it makes me think that if there is no God, we all our just determined nothings.

Thank Adam and Eve...
It's about believing and having faith in the Creator. We all have to come before Him on judgment day. It's about recognition. It's about knowing that all of us are unworthy and unclean. All of us fall short of the glory of God. All God asks is that you come to Him and acknowledge His sovereignty and the fact that He sent His Son as a sacrifice for All sin, yours and mine. You are correct it is impossible not to sin...that is His point!! It makes perfect sense...come seek Him as He is real.

That does seem unfair since yes, we had no control over that. However, you're not held accountable for having a sinful nature, you're held accountable for what you do about it.
It's like being born into poverty in America. Yes, it seems unfair where you started, but your fate is in your own hands and you have to oppurtunity to rise out of poverty if you want.
Same is true with God. He has provided a way out of "debt" by paying the penalty for that debt. However, it requires accepting the offer which is totally free in a sense.

When God created Adam and Eve they were the representatives of all the human beings that would come through them, and as they commited the original sin against their Creator they passed their defect of spirit to us,had they not sinned then we and our world would be a totally different place.

You seem to be overlooking the fact that God sent his one and only Son to pay our sin debt. That's true grace in action. A loving God doesn't send people to Hell, He sends his Son to make a way for us to not have to go there.
John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: (15) That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. (16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (17) For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (18) He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Wow, I don't know who you have been listening to or what books you have read~certainly not the Bible. Apparently, you don't know why Jesus died on the cross~so that we could be forgiven of our sins~to have eternal LIFE with Him and our Father in Heaven!! I suggest that you read the Bible!

Once you accept Christ as your Saviour, your confessed sins are forgiven.

It makes sense if you mean eternal death to mean that no journey back. Life gets tedious after awhile- I mean after a few trips if you know what I mean.

That's why Jesus died for us.God knew that we couldn't be perfect,so Jesus' death was a blood atonement for our sins.
