Dear Friend,
The following scriptures should explain. Even sinned when she ate the fruit from the tree which God commanded her not too. She then gave it to Adam, and he took some and sinned also.
Romans 5:12
[ Death Through Adam, Life Through Christ ] 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—
God gave us free will, without free will there can be no genuine love. all he asked was dont touch this one tree, but they did, and became sinful. They chose sin, they were not made sinful.
God Bless

Christianity splits on this topic. Some christians believe Adam & Eve were real and original sin is real while others believe that the story is just a nice traditional story. In my belief Adam & Eve & original sin does not exist. We have tail bones and Gaul(sp?) bladders. Also not many people know this but Adam had a preivous wife named Lilith and there was no fruit tree in that story only free will. Also there is an arch angel named Metatron why has no one heard of him?? Could it because he sounds like a transformer??? We are born with the intent to sin but not born with a sin.

When God first created Adam and Eve, they were perfect and he placed them on a paradise earth. The reason why we are born into sin is because of Adams sin. (Romans 5:12) But God has not left us without hope. By means of the ransom sacrifice, we have the hope of everlasting life on earth.(John 16:3 and John 17:3). He also by means of his Kingdom government, will completely undo all effects of sin.

Adam and eve commited a sin...which was they disobeyed God....and because of this they were thrown out of The Garden of Eden, So they had to work for food where as previously they didn't everything was given to them.
And then as a punishment for eve she would have labor pains gen 2:16, and they had a hard life. And death came into play as well.
Read Genesis and you will understand.
And so because of what they did we have to pay. Just like if we have a child whatever actions we take good or bad the child has to pay.

We are born into sin because of Adams disobedience. When he ate the fruit from the tree, that he was commanded
not to eat of he disobeyed God. This brought sin into the world. Sin is disobeying God. This sin nature is passed down from one generation to the next. We are forced to live in it because of mans free will.

God did not create humans to live in sin. Adam and Eve chose it in the Garden of Eden. That's why Jesus came, to take that sin away so we can be pure again.
About the guilt thing...Christians did not invent guilt to get other people's money. The fact is that people do wrong things, whether you're Christian or not. Christians simply have forgiveness, and if they are trying to get your money then that is the individual person's problem and not Christianity itself.
Anyway, sin is humans' choice. Since humanity in general chose sin, God has provided a way out if it.

We are not born into "sin" -- God does not disown us and we cannot be seperated from him. We are given the gift of free will (adam and eve) to FIND him on our own. It is in the journey that lies the greatest lessons and truths. I feel so sorry for the people who believe that we are seperated from god, I hope some day that they will realize their true connection to him, it doesn't come from a book or in a building and it cannot be broken. Even when we turn away, the connection is still there - it does not judge or condemn, it waits patiently for us to learn, grow, and realize our connection. "If you cannot come right now, then I will wait for you." -- Jesus.

We are not born into sin. Infants and little children are innocent and sinless. It isn't until we get older than we learn right from wrong and let sin into our hearts.
The inheritance of the original sin is a man-made concept and has no basis in the Bible.

The Christian God is pretty twisted. He enjoys testing people, pushing people's buttons.
Why create evil at all?
Why create the tree of life, then forbid men to eat from it?
Why create a creature whose number one motive is curiosity, then tell them what exactly NOT to touch?
Why not just explain what the tree was instead of leaving the explanations to Satan?
Why create Satan, knowing that he would break from the flock and try to destroy Him?
Why destroy every living thing on the planet except fish?
Why force every species of land-dweller to have sex with its own siblings? (Noah only took two of everything so after those two mated and had offspring, who else was there to mate with but their siblings?)
Twisted.

Why is it that Atheists have no problem believing in science that explains away phenomenon by the order of regeneration to the extent that the recreated actually change according to environment but, they have trouble comprehending basically the same thing on a spiritual plane
