Original sin

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Liberalmedia (Talk | contribs) at 18:06, March 21, 2007. It may differ significantly from current revision.

Original sin is the state of being sinful into which all people are born[1]. Original sin refers to the very first sin, committed by Eve when she succumbed to the serpent's temptation in the Garden of Eden. Original sin is sometimes referred to as "the Fall" or as a genetic defect we all inherited from Adam and Eve. St. Augustine introduced original sin to Christians.
