No, it's not in there. It's not very sound as a concept either, as it contradicts things in the Bible about children not being held responsible for their parent's sin..

I use the King James Version, and I haven't seen anywhere in there where it says that I'm accountable for anyone else's sins, including Adam's or Eve's.
Where the RC church got that idea-- beats me. Maybe it was a way to get people to come to church more- "You and your kids are damned because of something you can't control or change. If you don't come and get (some service provide ONLY by the Church), you will all go to hell."
Good luck.

Original means first. The original sin by humans is clearly described in the Bible.

The two words "Original Sin" are not found in the Bible. However, there are verses in the Bile explaining how, when Adam sinned, he doomed all men and women.
e.g. Romans 5: 14-19

Like the trinity, it is a doctrine that is derived from several scriptures, there are many theories on it, there are lots of these in the Bible and theology.

It's just a phrase meaning the first sin.
