Original sin must have changed the nature of humans--from what we were created to what we are now. Sort of a cat turning into a lizard! Moorad

Amen to John's remarks. I really have a hard time understanding how the
actual sin of someone else (Adam) can caused me to be guilty and deserving
of divine wrath. Doesn't seem like justice to me, in my limited
understanding. Am I also to be sentenced to death because my father
committed 1st degree murder?
Sincerely puzzled.
Adrian.
