Although the concept of the original sin might bear a symbolic tone referring to the initial “fall of man”; it nevertheless is another lie, a false doctrine created by the so called Christian Church Fathers. In fact, the words "Original Sin" doesn’t even exist in the Bible or Jewish writings. Sin is defined as a “willful” act that one consciously chooses to neglect the law of YHVH. For us to born into sin makes sin a misfortune and thus we can put blame on G-d for our action -- for if men are born with a sinful nature, who is to blame?
Saint Augustine thought Adam's original sin was caused by Adam having sex with Eve at the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Eve was tempted by the Serpent with sexual knowledge which led to her and Adam engaging in sex prematurely. This “Original Sin” was now transmitted through the mother’s womb and by it, tainted all human beings leaving them incapable of choosing good over evil. It also denied man the responsibility of choosing his own spiritual destiny. Thus we have a perfect set up for the "virgin birth" concept.
And if there was any truth to the original sin, then was Yeshua born as a sinner? After all, he was born to an earthly mother, Mariam who too would have been born into the original sin concept.
