jinenglish, sometimes I think your tone doesn't transfer well online....

Answer 1

Sin is not genetic, sin is natural. We're all capable of it, and in truth, most of it isn't as damnable and awful as the Xians make it out to be. Whoever answered this question and said "God!" is definitely a glutton for punishment in my eyes. Okay, just for the sake of argument, lets say sin IS evil, and also that your God EVER really existed. Why, I ask you, would he make some people more likely to disobey "his will" than others, when he allegedy destroyed the world and ended millions of lives for doing just that? was that his sick idea of a joke? Seems like a cruel and unusual punishment for being born to me. But then again, that's assuming he had control over human genetics even when he existed.

But no, sin is not a matter of genetics. Anyone who can read this question and would even be looking around on Yahoo! Answers to find it would have to be human, and that makes them subject to human nature. Sinning is natural, and if you will, a very HUMAN act. Things like lust. Lust is natural, and being animal in our nature (even if moreso than our intelligence, and no matter how many of us like to deny it), when we see another person of our species we find physically attractive, it's natural to want to get physical. Anyone who says otherwise is either in a deep state of denial, or a robot for Christ's sake. We may have control over whether or not we actually fool around with someone, but we can't "Save" ourselves from our own nature. "Sin" is just the Church's name for human nature, which they tell us is "wrong" or "evil" so we'll all feel so guilty that we'll come to church every sunday to confess our "wrongdoings" and put money in the collection plate which, lets face it, they couldn't exist as an organization without.

So the answer to your question is, NO ONE made sin genetic, because what they call "sin" is part of human nature. That's my Satanic Two Cents, do with it what you will...

Answer 2

St Augustine, devised the theory of original sin, and thought that original sin was transmitted from generation to generation through sexual intercourse.

In other words, sin isn't transmitted through genes (for which we didn't even really have a concept until the 1800's), but rather through *sex*. The idea was that specifically that since women had committed the "original sin", that it is by the "lustful" act of sex that sin is transmitted from generation to generation. (hmm... doesn't that mean that technically children created by in vitro fertilization are sin free?)

Answer 3

God. Since Adam and Eve sinned against Him, God told Eve that all her children would have to deal with her sins that she created. And well, it happened.

Answer 4

There is no sin one is born with.
Men designed the consept.
