We have all stood accused by the Church of inheriting original sin - but no one can even tell us what that sin actuall was - is that fair?
The original sin was disobedience to a direct command given Adam and Eve by God.
Genesis 3:17-19
17 Then to Adam He said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat from it';
Cursed is the ground because of you;
In toil you shall eat of it
All the days of your life.
18 "Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you;
And you shall eat the plants of the field;
19 By the sweat of your face
You shall eat bread,
Till you return to the ground,
Because from it you were taken;
For you are dust,
And to dust you shall return. "
NAS
We can discern a couple of lessons from Adam's choice. One is not to take advise from anyone who counsels opposition to God's commandments and the other is there are consequences for the decisions we make.
