@ victor
you misunderstood my question...i'am a muslim and i'am not thinking of converting ..i just wanted to confirm this piece of information

Answer 1

The two verses in Romans that primoa1970 stated says nothing about being "born" into sin. In Genesis 3, God cursed Eve with periods and birth pain and Adam with having to sweat and toil with the land. Nothing about being "born" as sinful.

Answer 2

We are not born sinful, we make the choice to be sinful as we grow older. Every child imitates their parents, all the way back to Adam and Eve. It is an ongoing cycle that won't be broken until Jesus returns. We are not being punished for Adam and Eve's sins, but for our own bad choices. We have the choice to choose against sin, but no one ever has.

Answer 3

Yes, all people born of man and woman are born with a sin nature, which produces sin in the person. The sin nature is passed down through the father, that is why Christ could not be born of a man, and did not inherit a sin nature.

Answer 4

Yes, The bible says in Genesis chapter 3 that once adam and eve sinned in the garden of eden and learned the difference between good and evil, they were then accountable to God for their actions, The bible says that the consequences of this was that men would work and women would bare children, the knowledge that adam and eve learned by eating the fruit was then passed on to their offspring at birth, just like certain health problems or mental or addication problems are passed on today. The Bible says God is Holy, God doesn't sin, but the Bibles says that all meaning human beings have sinned and come short of the glory of God, None is righteous, no not one the Bible says in the book of Romans. So from Adam on all who have been born are sinners, this is why Jesus Christ came to earth, The Bible says that the wages of sin is Death. The bible says that without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins. John 3:16, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him might have everlasting life. When Jesus was crucified on the cross and rose from the grave the third day he forever opened the door of salvation to everyone. Now to get our sins washed away all we have to do is pray a sinners prayer believing in Jesus and we can be born again. Just pray, Dear Jesus, I confess to you that I am a sinner, I believe you rose from the grave and that your blood you shed on the cross washed away my sins, I ask you to forgive me of all my sins and come into my heart and save me, In Jesus' name Amen. If you prayed that prayer with a sincere heart you are now saved and born again. Praise the Lord, you are now a child of God on your way to Heaven.

Answer 5

It start with Adam and Eve. Eve was decieved and Adam was disloyal, and with sin comes death. Death doesn't stop at just being physical, but there is spiritual death, and emotional death.

So revenge,anger, lust, envy, greed, selfishness are all sins. Not just the regular ones people think of like divorce or sex out side of marriage to name a few. Yes, there is sin, all you have to do is to see it even in a small child is to hear a toddler scream "mine!" to know that it is there.

Answer 6

Actually the answer to the exact question is no.
The answer to the question you meant to ask is all of us are born with a sin nature and we inherit that.
Sin is inherited through Adam as this is when sin enters the world.

Edit I am sorry didn't know you were Muslim but the fact is Muhamamd did not understand the doctrine of original sin any more thn he understood the doctrine of the trinity these things are not understood by Muhammad who taught they were wrong because his intepretation of them IS wrong.
Muhammad's understanding of the trinity is it is more than one God which is a wrong interpretation but if the trinity was more than one God he would be correct it would be wrong.
Muhammad's interpretation of original sin is that we inherit our Fathers sin and this also is a wrong interpretation though sin is inherited through Adam's sin.
Muhamamd proclaimed himself ot be a prophet of God and his Allah lacked interpretation of his own word it truly demonstrates to those who know God that Muhammad's god is not the God of Abraham but believed as man would believe not understanding the spiritual things of God.
Would the true God not understand his own teachings?
God would simply disagree if a teaching was false he would not disagree because he misinterpreted it.

Answer 7

We are born into a sinful world. Just think about children when they first begin to talk - NO! and disobedient, hitting, biting, self centered, won't share etc. We start sinning at an early age. It is human nature.

Answer 8

We are born as pure and white as the fallen snow. But we are born into sin, which means that to be on this world is to be on satan's playground. Can't keep that from happening, now can we.

Answer 9

No. We shall be judged for our own sins and not Adam's transgressions. Children do not need to be baptized until the age of accountability at eight years.

Answer 10

Allow me to correct doctrine.

You are born with a tendency to sin, if you actually sin, you make the sin your own and you must repent of the sin.
