Do you now see how silly the original sin doctrine is?

That is not how it works.
Each individual person is only accountable for the sins that they personally committ.
Not the sins of their father.
Not the sins of their mother.

Original sin is not what condemns you eternally, your own actions do.
Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned"
Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death..."
Original sin merely corrupts our world and gives us the sin nature; because of it no one has to teach us to do wrong -it is innate.
Actually on Judgment Day there is more than one book opened that people are judged by. The first is the Lamb's Book of Life which has the name of everyone who has trusted Jesus for salvation. The other(s) is (are) the book of deeds where the names of those who have never sinned are written. If your name is found there, you'd be okay. It only has one name in it -guess Who?

Original sin is more about why we are seperated from God. Adam and Eve sined and took us from God since we are all decendents of them. In baptism original sin is washed away because we are back with God again. Yet the child of the baptised person is still in sin because they are still born into a fallen world.

If you and a mate jump in a hole (with food) and have children, are they stuck in the hole with you? If you smoke crack and have a baby, will it be a crack baby?
You are thinking more blame than effect. There are some abstract doctrines that suggest blame might actually be in play (like Federalism), but for your purposes it is enough to say that we suffer from the effects of the fall and we are "blamed" only for our own inevitable sins. Does that make more sense?

purely positioned the concept that God does issues to punish people is somewhat undesirable theology. Jesus suggested in Luke 13 related to the tower of Siloam falling do no longer think of that they have been worse then the different guy. (and God punishes them as such). certainty people have freewill to make the international a foul place (pollution that reasons ailment, hatred that leads to violence). those are the direct or oblique results of guy no longer God. maximum folk can;t agree on lots, yet i know there truly isn't any justification for alot of people's stances. 5 element Calvinism with its limited atonement and unconditional election make it especially common to income boastful superiority, which truly is inconsistent with biblical coaching. basic count it truly is all one God considered by many distinctive peoples glasses. in spite of everything it truly is a hazard to be a spouse, mom, worker, boss, pal, sister, and b**** all on the comparable time. those could be how considered yet does not unavoidably make up who that guy or woman is, or eve be thoroughly precise in any account. So the respond could be which glasses do you go with to positioned on? And which might you experience greater ideal approximately your self wearing?

Yep, which is why the Bible does not teach it. It is a man-made doctrine.
"The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him." Ezekiel 18: 20

no and no
first, if you commit murder, or any other sin for that matter, YOU are the only one that has to answer for it.
Adam and Eve's sin in the garden is a totally different type of event. perhaps you should read genesis and then compare the two.

What an irrational arguement.
Your kids aren't condemned for your sins, they are condemned, or forgiven from, their OWN sins.
