Remembering the Barefoot Doctors

So we inherited temptabililty induced by an external source, and that is our fault. Sounds kinda Roberston Lamarckian to me. I'll pass on Genesis

I'm not totally sure, but I don't think "original sin" is really in the Bible as such. There's just a passage here or there that seems to reference the concept, such as Romans 5:12 (i.e., not Genesis)

"Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned"

[f.Channell]

Paul mentions original sin in Romans to downplay the need for Judaic rituals, as he tried to separate the Christians from the need to follow Jewish law. This made it more appealing to gentiles as the religion spread.
