Q

what is the understanding of original sin?

A

Original Sin was given to us by Adam and Eve. They didn’t follow God’s rules, so they brought into evil and sin to the world. The consequence was death. Adam and Eve had a choice between a God centered life and a self centered life- and they chose the self centered, which brought us sin instead of complete holiness.
